I can confirm this. I only started playing the game yesterday and asking for directions or help, *in character*, almost always got me complete silence. Players in this game *seem* to be the most snobby and unhelpful I\'ve encountered.

I read the guide, the FAQs, and the forums before playing but there is still a lot which is difficult to figure out without help (even when the client isn\'t crashing every 5 minutes). It shouldn\'t be necessary to submit a petition to get an answer to a simple question, in my opinion, unless the GMs in this game are just bored :-)

I found this other thread that sounds like it might explain my problem. I posted my specs there and followed the suggestions offered but I get no joy. Still crashes.

My machine specs.

AMD Athlon 1 GHz
512 MB Ram
GEForce 2

Yeah, old I know but it matches the posted minimum specs for the game.

I\'m seeing the same crash described above when running either psclient.exe or the updater. I tried the noSSE binaries linked above but I see no change.

Any suggestions?

I\'m new to planeshift. I just downloaded the windows 3.0.13 version and I\'m getting the updater crash.

I followed the instructions here (downloaded the updater linked in the first post and extracted it in my planeshift directory) but I\'m still seeing the same crash.

When I run psclient the version in the titlebar says 3.0.13 and not 1.0.x.x or 1.1.x.x.

I\'ve tried \"psclient -console\" but I get a dialog that says
\"Something unexpected happened in Planeshift: Crystal Blue
Details: EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION at 0042F42A\" and I\'m prompted to save a diagnostic file.

Before you ask, yes I\'m certain I extracted the updater to the correct directory as I was prompted to overwrite the existing files.

Any tips?
