Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Direct X
« on: April 17, 2006, 12:32:30 am »
Also, check that you have Direct X still working.  Rebuilds can sometimes mess up that.  Follow these easy steps:

1)Start >> Run - type dxdiag

2)Menu should load, this will post all of your video and sound specs, extremely useful.

3)Video tab, do all of the video tests.

4) At the bottom it will say save all information, do that.  I think you can copy and paste that information here.  Please do not attempt to upload the file itself, and be sure to look through that to make sure no sensitive information will be posted.

Good luck.

Sometimes the server goes down.  Try again later and see?

If not, I could try to help you out with some port forwarding.

Bypassing your router is a serious security risk.  It is better to forward the ports.  Go to http://www.portforward.com, find your router, and follow the easy steps.

First of all, bypassing the firewall is only the first step because ports are blocked AT the router, most things never reach the firewall.  What you have to do is get into your router.  Most of the time, the best way to do this is:

1)Start>>Run
2)Enter: command
3)Type: ipconfig

Take your default gateway number, and type that into your browser - bam straight to the router firmware.  You will have to open the ports on UDP as well as TCP, look to the site above for more information on your specific rotuer.

Last Warning:

Im suppose your are using Windows, because only Windows tries so hard to be secure and does such a bad job at doing it efficiently.  Just to point out you have your router open AND your firewall open.  Be extremely careful as to what sites you go to because you are going to be recieving every single little packet from every site, and Windows and the way they use .dll files so much is not known for its resilience to malware.

I am messing about with my updater right now and if you go into the options, you can bypass the updater check forcing it to download.  

Warning: This will screw up your game at any other time, perhaps even this I do not know yet!

I downloaded a bunch of files, but I can\'t figure out if my client is actually updated.  Does anyone know where I can find a version log?  All of the file sin the folder spit out nonsense numbers and long lists of file names.

EDIT:

My client did run, however I do not know if the changes stuck.


In the version.dat I see:

75e267251fb7111e7b1615fbe90a0695 1145018100

There are other points where I had cracking in the sound as well.  On starting that little short rift crackles a lot, but so did the combat music.

Yeah there still seems to be a problem with the updater despite the fact that it recently got synched with the mirrors so it should be updating everyone to the newest client version.  I think part of the problem could be for those of us who downloaded the preview, also caused the updater to be upgraded to 1.1.1.1, which I guess is a version too high for the updater to download correctly.

Aye, the world is a cruel place for the people who don\'t pay attention.  Perhaps reading the full guide and searching these forums may prevent you from making similiar mistakes.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / College
« on: April 14, 2006, 04:56:00 pm »
If you just went to college, it could be the fact that their LAN may be blocking ports needed for Planeshift.  Ive had that problem for many games, however Planeshift works just fine for me here. *crosses fingers*

Also if you download that, do not run the updater until the full version is released.  Running the updater could force a re-install (I got lucky).

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Loading Bug/mIRC issues
« on: April 10, 2006, 09:18:25 pm »
Sorry to post yet again about this problem, but I am unable to connect to the mIRC server (behind a college LAN, unable to forward the ports), and my character is stuck due to the run time bug. (Please keep reading!)

From what I have read the fix for the runtime crash bug on oja road/magician area will be fixed in an upcoming patch in a few days.

My question was that if taxi requests are no longer being accepted on this forum, what do those of us who cannot connect to mIRC do?  I for one am stuck due to this runtime bug, and I would gladly take the time to go onto mIRC to talk to a GM live if I could.

If for some reason you guys decide to take taxi requests again here is the usual info:

Char name: Cossius Paendrag
Destination: Hydlaa (or wherever, stuck at magician)

Also, there was no warning that I could see posted prior to this new update.  I logged off two days ago at the magician salesman, updated today, THEN found the warning.  A little unfair in my opinion...but I\'ll be a patient player.

I guess all that I am saying is that perhaps if characters do get stuck in later versions (not just this bug) that a forum taxi service should be re-instated.  Im rather sure Im not the only college student with this problem.

Before you flame me just realize I cannot get on IRC and that I have obviously read up plenty on this.

Yeah, the .dll file doesn\'t exist for me.  Could you post it here?

You guys are going to seriously piss off the GMs if you don\'t start paying attention to previous posts.  There have been a TON of posts on this already and Talad even posted a \"fix\" (which doesnt work for me, but I trust that it will soon), in a previous post.  This is a dead topic stop complaining and creating clutter in the forums.

Well if that fix didn\'t work, obviously the game is not accessible.  Grab some tea or coffee and just chill.
