Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) /
« on: February 14, 2005, 11:17:40 pm »
I\'m certaintly not complaining about the game, and I understand that it is a free beta and is prone to having bugs and errors occuring. I am simply saying it could be a helpfull thing for the planeshift community to post bugs and fixes on the main news page of planeshift.it.

True users can search for problems on the forums, but I find there are numerous posts all regarding the same issues and often all of them have different solutions, some that work others that don\'t. I just think it would helpfull to post beta errors and possible fixes on the main page, instead of having to search for that \"hidden gem\" topic.

I don\'t see it as rude by letting people know that the updater is currently having problems, and providing a few tips as to how to get past the issue.

I was also under the impression this game was an \"open\" community where everyone has the opportunity to add their 2 cents to the game. This is my 2 cents, and I would be happy to work on the website if needed (I have lots of experience making web sites).

As I am sure everyone knows by now, there are an uncountable amount of bugs occuring with the server updater. Yet I don\'t see any post on the official news section of http://www.planeshift.it regarding this problem.

Had I not come to seek help on the bulliten board I would have had no idea why the game wasn\'t working, and assumed that it just can\'t work on my computer.

Rather than leaving it up to the individual to come and search through a bunch of confusing topics on the discussion board, I think that it would be benificial for someone to post planeshift bugs and problems on the main page news. As well as posting server downtime problems, a list of possible fixes could also be put on the main page.

It\'s just a suggestion, but it seems like alot of people are using planeshift, and it would be a benificial thing to do. It gets confusing and frustrating trying to find problems and fixes in various topics on a discussion board.

PS. I can help out with this if neccessary.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the game yesterday, but haven\'t had any luck getting the updater working.

I tried changing the values in the updater file like the one thread suggested... It then updates to %47 opens a dos prompt window, and stops.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Can anyone help me get the game running? I\'m brand new and just installed yesterday, but I\'ve been having all sorts of \"cannot find mirror\" problems and \"wrong version\" and such.

I tried changing the updater file values like one of the posts recommended, but it didn\'t work. It started the update, then opened a ms dos prompt window at 50% and tried to update the updater.

I have no idea what to do..
