We recommend that u have atleast 256MB ram.. Its normal that it stops responding, just leave it!

Ok... thx.... I never can play the Planetshift? Only when I put 256mb ram ? Or no?

well it is possible to play it with less but it\'s not recommended since it can take longer to initialize and the game might get slower.

but if you have 64 mb ram then i recomend you really get some more since that is definatly not enough.

It could even result in not being able to play at all. The game needs a certain amount of RAM in order to run- if you don\'t have what it needs, it\'ll just die before it finishes loading.

When the music stops it does not necesarily mean the game is frozen (although sometimes it does), it happens to everyone I think, at least the first time, every time for me although I upgraded and load it in under a minute now...but before it took 10mins with 256mb RAM and the music stopped a couple of minutes into it and didn\'t start again til near the end. (it also said not responding for a while).

Another tip would to be to press CTRL+ALT+DEL go to the \"Processes\" Tab and click on CPU so that it shows the Processes using the most CPU.  That way you can see which programs are using too much and you can end them.  Make sure that under \"Username\" it doesn\'t say System because you can make a big mess of your computer if you uninitialize the wrong one.  Also closing off Programs like Kazaa which take up CPU and Bandwidth could help you.  I would also suggest getting a cable connection and connect through a HUB or Router.  Also try to keep the cables short but that isn\'t usually an issue.  Connecting to the internet through another PC really slows down your PC.  Remember only keep the programs open that you need and it should speed up your game.

it might sound a bit harsh but you really need to improve your english.
not that mine is that good  8o but i think evanchild is right!

are you absolutely sure you have enough of the requirements you need to play the game.
by my guess you have a pentium II 300 MHz and that really won\'t give a good gameplay.

but give your specs in a list so we can take a closer look at that.
like:

OS:
processor:
RAM:
Hdspace:
Videocard:

with this you can help us more to solve your problem.

If you do not know anything about computers, go to the computer shop, and tell them you need more RAM.

That should help :)

right click on my computer and do properties ( english system ) it\'s the option you will get at the bottom.


there you can see how fast your computer is and how much ram you have.

put that down here and we can help you a bit further.
