Hej....

I\'m also new to planeshift and also was (and am - maybe due to poor RAM) facing some trouble, but, bountyhunter - I feel like haveing to say a word or two, please, don\'t get mad at me and just say if I\'m getting it wrong..)

First, and most of all, this is a free, open source project (that is just doing a version jump that seems still not complete?? as for linux, haven\'t tried the windows version successfully).

This means two things: One, it\'s not allways like buying one of those boxes with super-so-and-so, throw the cd in and double click - and get mad if there\'s any issue. Second: They seem to try a lot to get you on your feet with it here and you (just say if I\'m wrong) seem to get more and more angry.... without answering their questions properly - which they only do ask because they don\'t really see what has happed and went wrong. All they want to do is meet you in the game, I\'m sure! It\'s also about their fun.

Now to your problem: They asked you what exactly it is you are doubleclicking and you just keep saying an icon from the torrent download. Windows, in standard configuration, uses to hide what icons point to from its users. You could, however, right-click the icon, look what \"properties\" says and post the answer.

Also, it might not run before you do the uptdate. You can find the update *after* installing the fully downloaded file (the one you are trying to download again via mirror 2 as you say) and then in (Win XP?) \"Start -> All programms -> Planeshift -> \" and there the updater icon.

If the updater is slow then try the alternative server mentiond in this posting:

And then again try to start the game, both, via desktop icon and start menu. For me (under linux) a desktop icon which I crated just kept crashing when logging in and it seems that it needed the working direktory in the icons\' properties settings. Don\'t have the windows icon right now to test it....

(btw, I downloaded the win version with donkey, works also fine!)

Again, never mind if I talked too much

Hi,

I am getting kicked in a similar way, but before any option to save something.

My plattform is linux in a not really up to date distro (SuSE 9.2) that on the other hand seems to handle gpl ... nvidia 3d drivers seem ok, all current patches applied. I tired your previous hints (how do I see the graphics driver is updated?) except turnig of sound which does not look like being the problem?

I loaded the game from command line and piped the prosa into a file which I wanted to attatch, but I have no option to do that here, so be patient with me.. I\'ll post a link (pasting made the message too long)

I\'m new to planeshift, even to online gaming despite of my age (beyond 30, even 35 )

(URL taken away... no need any more)

Thanx,
Jabo
