I just downloaded the Planeshift files, installed the game, ran the Updater, made sure to update the settings in the Setup (making sure to select Full Screen, though I tried it without as well). I ran the game, the splash screen came up, and then it stopped responding. I couldn\'t even get to the character creation screen. There didn\'t appear to be any other threads that mentioned this, so I\'m hoping someone out there can let me know if I\'m missing a step or if this is a common problem.

I\'m running Windows XP, so I changed the compatibility on the psclient.exe to Windows 98/ME. I changed the setting from OpenGL to Software. I turned sounds on, then off. I tried using the Safe Mode loader. None of the suggestions to issues that were vaguely similar to mine seemed to help.
