when will the new release come, no wonder u reakon there r only 20 ppl on at a time there r hundreds tryin 2 get on but they can\'t.
I can\'t sit there 4 2 hours waiting 4 da game 2 load cause it brings up a error and sumtimes quits, i\'m using windows xp.
when is da new release u said u\'d hav it fixed by then??????
i\'m not even aload on da net longer than 1 hour a day n e way errrrrrrrrrrrrrr fix it plzzzzzz!!!
I REALLY WANNA PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe you should help out and give specs+errors instead of just complaining and giving no details.
Who knows maybe its your comp, or maybe your not waiting long enough. It takes pretty long for the first time so just leave the game on like one night and see if it loads, if not theres something wrong. After that it usually loads within 5 minutes...... also dont open other programs up (like alt+tab) that severly makes it messed up....
-
maybey u should actually check sum of my other posts they hav details, oh well
i know my computer is good enough 2 run planeshift, probably not great but alot betta than sum of da other comps dat hav been runnin it fine
-
think about it, why would i actually care enough to remember who you are and where you posts......
also it doesn\'t matter what kind of comp you have, i think its just not make compatible with all of them for some reason...... also like i said you might have to wait longer
-
no effence but i can\'t wait longer da game quits on me or stops responding
-
what do you mean by quits on you? i also get the not responding thing but it does not quit, the not responding goes away after the game starts so you gotta be patient and just do something else while it loads
p.s. how much memory (RAM) do you have?
-
128 mb, it should b enof, da game just sumtimes quits, it use 2 reset my computer but i seem 2 hav fixed dat
-
thats prob why, 128mb aintmuch at all
when ever im in game and do the ctrl+atl+delete to see how much memory the game takes up it gets around 130mb (unless it is 13mb....) plus you have to handle windows, and a internet connection (if your dial up) that adds up, i have 256mb and i do just fine, but every now and then when i dnt clear the windows toolbar programs at the bottom i get system memory low warning (like you know the little icons at the bottom right? if you close them they will clear up memory)
well i cant keep talking im gonna go play PS lol :P
-
sum guy said he was running it wid 64 mb ram, he said it was slow ofcourse but ohwell, it should atleast run.
P.S. n e way when is da release dat 4 da next PS client
-
not till another couple months, i think someone said in december
p.s. you lied you said that your other posts have details..... well they dont
-
my other posts should have details, at least i\'m sure i posted em. oh well n e way thanx, maybey i\'ll post em again, i\'d be tryn 2 run ps now but it is on my lappy and i\'m using my dad\'s comp
P.S. if i finally get da game running i\'ll add ya 2 my buddies list wats ya in game account, and wat race r ya
P.P.S know n e good guilds, i might make 1 when i get in
-
um in game name: milden
well yea i know of some guilds but its whatever you like, right now im in the guild called Circle of Legends. Just go to the guilds forum......
grr this sux right now, for some reason it keeps saying cannot resolve server or something
-
k, eheheh i was in da guilds forum just then until u replied, i\'m using msn so i know straight away when i get n e replies :)
-
like you said the game quits on you. it also happens to me and i\'ve waited for it to initialize for 30 mins and then it just quits. my comp is running XP so maybe the game is not fit for XP yet. hope they upgrade the game soon!!!!
-
yeah i\'m runnin xp aswell, though i don\'t think that is the problem most ppl theses days r running xp and i\'m sure not all of \'em would be havin this problem
-
Try changing the compability and see if it works.
-
been there done dat :(
-
just wanted 2 move this bak 2 the top so sumbody actually helps me, if they can apparently this is gunna take along time 4 planeshift 2 fix, hopefully this is their main focus.
post here if ya wanna fix ur intializing world probs or find out about da new realease aswell!!!!!! :P thanx
-
Well, several posts have already pointed out the problems PS has running under a Windows OS. Linux seems to allow a smoother game.
I have XP and it runs fine, but I also have 512 MB ram, so...I have the spare memory.
128 mb ram is definately not gaming friendly...try upgrading if you can.
-
k thanx but i don\'t think i\'ll b able 2 upgrade it.
i think it might hav a virsu though cause castle wolfinstein ant worken n e more so maybey i need 2 re-image it. thanx n e way c u l8a
P.S. it\'s a celeron 1333 ghz
-
i have XP and 512 mb ram, no thats not a typo, 512mb ram and it still pauses a lil so u just have to be patient, i mean i play a lil bit of bf 1942, it might take a while to conenct or not, but when it comes to dling a map, it pauses for like 5-10 mins, so i just graba bite to eat, and dirnmk, maybe watch a bit of TV while it loads, you have to cool it man, just be patient, maybe, while its loading u can go out and buy some more ram :-D that was jsut ajoke, no offence, so dont get mad at me, im still waiting for my account to be deleted, so i can play, but from what ive been hearing it sounds liek a pretty sweet game. good luck man, maybe we can meet on a realm or something somewhat later, cay u guys
-
I ant gunna get mad, but i can\'t sit there cause planeshift quits on me, i have tryed heaps of times!
thanx n e way
-
I\'ve been trying to connect, but no matter what I put as a name, the character creator always tells me the name is taken. I\'ve tried several random character strings, so I\'m betting its an error, and not the fact that people named Ahtdgsbdf and Ytdsifd already exist... Anyone have any ideas?
-
my guess is sumthing has gone wrong whilst installing or a setting has been changed, try reinstall ot, if that doesn\'t work you will probably have to download it again. :(
-
u people are lucky because in window me i can\'t even find the compabablity tab and when itz intalizing the world the error that comes up is explorer is restarting or something like that and then 2 mins later it restarts
-
Zephonix u have window xp rite where did u find the compabability tab i can\'t find it!! guys i think restarting ur computer helps , i did and i made it pass the linkdead to the intalizing world part =(
-
Edit: For the compatibility tab, right click on the application file and goto properties then the compatibility tab.
Grrr I just sat here for about 75mins to see if it would \'just work\'. It didn\'t. I wrote out a big long list of what happened, but first things first...
v 0.2.010
Windows XP Pro
256mb RAM
850MHz Duron
GeForce2 32mb
I created my character and uploaded OK and then the game ran after loading for about 5mins. Now whenever I goto connect it gets to initialising world and...just...seems to do nothing. Today I decided to wait for about an hour to see what happens, as the PS website says it sould take up to 50mins to work. So here\'s the list of notes I took:
(Running Norton Anti-Virus, no firewall and)
11:45am GMT
Started PS and connect, Initialising World screen. HDD light goes crazy for a few minutes.
11:55
HDD has completely stopped and only flashes occasionally.
12:00
Got bored and put on Task Manager (I think people said don\'t use Alt+Tab, so next time I won\'t even do this).
It says psclient is not responding, and its mem usage is about 116mb and increasing at 200-300k per second.
12:07
mem usage reaches 160mb then drops to 110mb.
The Molecular Blue window goes completely white.
The Page file also decreased.
12:12
mem usage 163mb drops to 110mb. Can see a place on the MB window. (Dunno anything about the game yet, it was the same place I appeared when I first created my player). Could also see the chat window(no text though), two health(?) nars on top-right and a target window.
BTW the music from the initiasing screen still plays (and continues for the rest of the time I tried to connect)
12:17
mem usage goes down again and again to 82mb.
HUD icons appear and in the chat window it says \'no buddies\' or something.
12:25
mem usage goes haywire. MB window seems to refresh.
same at 12:34
12:35
can hear two musics playing. The initialising world music and what sounds like the in game music played very quietly. In game music seemed to start when the initialising music looped.
12:37
HDD light flashed
12:45
MB screen refreshed. In the chat window it says:
Ophidian shouts: hello
Does this mean I\'m in and the game is just lagging to 1 frame every 10mins? When I first created my character it slowed down but was still playable...
12:54
HDD goes mad for a sec. Got my hopes up but nothing happened.
12:57
Mem goes down again then goes up and down and settles at 75mb. Window goes back to white. I give up.
I hope someone finds this info at least a bit useful. I will try again later without Antivirus and without using Task Manager...
