My client had a terrible time of it last night; all of a sudden there were crashes happening all over the place, and finally I too was stuck in Arena. No amount of changing camera angles, running forwards or backwards, disabling sound, changing resolution or swearing seemed to do any good.

In desparation I installed the xp version of planeshift an was able to
\'unstick\' my character.  Blasphemy I know, but it did the trick.

Incidentaly, the *nix version seems to render a much prettier world and runs smoother (excepting crashes) and at higher resolutions than it\'s xp cousin

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.  I did a complete install and that fixed the menu fading problem.  (The menus were not restoring fully from a faded state).

An Advisor on the Help channel aided me with the looting.  I just didn\'t know how to do it. Whoops.

Ruby Crystals were the non visible bits.  So, all fixed for the time being methinks.

Now is a good time to thank all the people who have put this game together; the graphics are great and once I get my head around the gui I know I\'m going to have heaps of fun.

Thanks!
