You have probably downloaded the Linux version (planeshift.tar.gz), which I will assume is not your OS (are you running the Windows operating system ?).

Instead, you should have :
- downloaded the 5 parts of the splitted file(PSV0.2.010.Part1 to PSV0.2.010.Part5)
- downloaded and run the run_me_first.bat script

This script creates the PlaneShiftV0.2.010.exe file (which size is 90.028.941 bytes). This is the installation file, just run it and read carefully the instructions. The 5 downloaded files can be deleted along with the script since they won\'t be useful after this step.

When you are done with that part, directly do this :

From the menu, run
- Planeshift Updater (it will correct a nasty bug)
- Planeshift Setup (to choose fullscreen/windowed mainly)

And you are ready !
Run Planeshift - OpenGL Mode to start the game. The first step is creating and uploading your character.

Don\'t forget to read the very good FAQ from Moogie at this link (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=4594&boardid=1&styleid=3) !

And have fun with it  ;)
