Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) /

I\'ve never been able to load it with \'Load all maps\' selected, so I\'ve never used them. I get the crash error either way, no matter what I do. It\'s worse after I update, though.

I\'ve had the same problem. A day or two ago there was another thread with this, but no one responded.

It is possible to get past these errors, but it\'s a little bit of a pain to do.  For me, anway, this is what works half the time.

Uninstall Planeshift, then reinstall.  Do not update the software. I get the majority of the problems after I update the files. This will probably change, depending on what fixes they release over the next few weeks.

Reboot your computer. Do \'not\' start any other programs. You want as many system resources as possible free.  I don\'t know  how or if it is possible, but I\'ve noticed if I have programs like MSN running that it will crash Planeshift a lot sooner.

Connect to the internet. If you have dialup through AOL this might not work. I\'ve been able to run it when I had Bellsouth active, but not AOL.

Go to your Planeshift setup and click 800x600, fullscreen,  Audio off (or OpenAL which seems to work better on my system),  15 bit color depth, and the vertex buffer off.  Don\'t select load all maps.

Now try startin Planeshift. Hopefully it will run now.  You might still get the occasional crash, but at least it will let you start.  

Just as a sidenote, Kira, do you use a GeForce FX card?

Hello, new to the boards, but I\'ve had the Runtime error as well. It\'s the most common one I\'ve ran into.

The game will sometimes boot up normally. I\'ll be able to log in without problem. When I go to connect to the game is when the errors pop up. Sometimes it\'s right at the start, sometimes the game runs a little.  

Rebooting the PC, closing anything but Planseshift and the net, turning all the settings to their lowest (800x600, 15 bit depth), and selecting the OpenAL audio gave me the best results.  It still crashed after a few minutes, though.

It\'s a shame. CB looks very awesome. From what I did see of the game, it\'s going to be gorgeous.

For Thom:

This seems to crash Planeshift without the dump option coming up. I\'ve had it crash 15+ times today while I tried various settings. I never recieved the \'normal\' error message, only the C++ Runtime error message.
