Title: Technical Difficulties!!
Post by: Geoni on October 09, 2009, 01:24:13 pm
I am having major difficulties with technical problems. I have been having problems with no sound, problems with memory leaks, and now new problem is serious. I have just recently in the past day had to update and then reinstall planeshift three times. The problem is that i log on and my chat box, menu, shortcuts, buddy list, etc are all able to use, but the loading screen still covers my whole screen even though i can use the menu, shortcuts, buddy list, etc. I dont know too much about computers so speak as little computer language as you possibly can when replying. Thank you

I am playing in fullscreen, If if didnt mention already this problem came up after reinstalling the game due to the updater.

Hey it's me Estal. Go to Start>Programs>Planeshift Folder>Planeshift Setup. Now in the setup look at the top right of it and you will see resolutions [EXAMPLE: 1234x123], tell me which one is checked. This will determine your resolution.

Hello

The problem with the loading screen looks a bit like a graphics driver problem to me. Did you update them recently?

Hey Estal, my screen resolution is 1280x960 and ive got fullscreen, and Sen i think that you are right about the graphics, since im on a Vista. But the problem is how have i lasted this long with the graphics i have?

I got mixed up with what i said about fullscreen btw, i thought fullscreen meant it stretched across the screen [remember that im not to smart with computers] so now that ive went fullscreen a new problem occurs: Can i not have multiple tabs so that i can listen to music on [youtube] and be playing PS at the same time?

You should be able to, though the Taskbar will be gone in fullscreen.  Use ALT+TAB to flip between your other open programs.  Is that what you meant?

Yes Stitchedchin thats what i was talking about but now its better. I am now running at the lowest resolution and see no difference than i had before. Fullscreen resolution is the same, but when i tried the custom resolutoin the problem popped back up so the end result of this scenario is that i should not use the custom setting for resolution, thank all of you for replying to my post!
