Here's my system setup:
 intel Q6600 quad core
 nvidia GTS 250
 4gig ddr2 ram
 windows 7 64-bit edition

After downloading ps client from the site and installing it, I ran pslauncher.exe and performed the update. I had initial issues with the update failing because of admin privels. After the update, I ran psclient.exe log into my account, created a character and finally clicked play. The game starts loading and then when it gets to the end it just shuts down the client unexpectedly. Here's what the errorlog.txt shows:

I've tried both versions 32-bit and 64-bit as some reported better luck with the former. I ran into the same issues with both versions of the client. Note I also have openal downloaded already from testing another project so that is already installed on my machine. I have also tried going into the audio settings and just plain disabled audio and sound by unchecking the box. Still the same problem.

As a player and user of this software I have already done all I possibly can in getting this game to work. I've scoured through this board and it seems a couple others have ran into the same symtoms as I but none of the suggested have resolved this problem I'm running into. I have ran numerous games on this machine without problems, both newer latest and greatest as well as older type games. None of them have problems like this and I am positive this is not a driver issue.

I'm about ready to uninstall this unless someone can offer some suggestions on what is likely wrong.

ok hopefully my screenshots are finally getting through and I don\'t have to go looking for another host again. haha.

Yup, looks like you\'re having the same problem as me. I notice that it helps if I turn vertex buffer off under ps settings though.

I do notice another problem though, not sure if it\'s related to those funny shaped polygons: when I enter the dungeon I notice some clipping issues where there\'s a repeated pattern all over the screen. Best way to describe it is think original Doom with no clipping code and you walk through a wall. It seems to only happen when I go down the dungeon entrance. Once I\'m inside the dungeon it disappears. It seems this glitch is most likely to show up during environment map transitions like for example town to dungeon, stairs inside tower going to top of tower etc.

Uh...What problem...Are you still refering to the blackness or another one. You did not ID what the \'this one\' that you posted on the other forum was.
I\'m confused.

The problem I\'m referring to is in the last screenshot I posted. There\'s a bunch of long streaks of wierd shapes in black, blue, and pink colors. If you can\'t see in that screenshot I\'ll outline and highlight the sections in red so you know where it is.

Yes, those are all possible solutions but it\'s not good for your eyes. I turned down the brightness on my monitor for a reason. So far the only game I\'ve encounter that\'s giving me a hard time to see in the dark is PS.

are you talking about crystal space? I think the module for that is CS. Just browse the CVS repository on sourceforget and look

that\'s true but I\'m still getting an error when I try to downoad the source tree using tortoisecvs.

In F:\\: \"E:\\Program Files\\TortoiseCVS\\cvs.exe\" \"-q\" \"checkout\" \"-P\" \"planeshift\"

Error, CVS operation failed

I know this use to work just fine before.

Actually, you got me wondering about something. Why can\'t you compile PS under Dev-C++? As I recall, it\'s using the same gcc compiler as mingw afterall. And I thought there would be a few develops on the PS project that\'s using Dev-C++ or are you all using MSVC?
