Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: .zip eh?
« on: January 03, 2008, 07:40:33 am »
okay so this is what i'm getting so far:

a .zip file is a file made smaller for whatever those purposes might be... you need to make them larger...or open it before you can use or even access anything within said file. I do indeed have windows (windows XP for that matter if it makes any difference), I apologize i should have mentioned that earlier but oh well now.

I do recall reading certain things on other threads about downloading programs such as Winrar to assist in the process. Are such programs necessary or is it more of a helpful program for people... like me....? regardless as far as searching for compression I just searched and a lot of what i found was about new updates but not much troubleshooting help for .zip files or something around that. Um... i may just be a lost cause (like i mentioned earlier I'm not very good with much of the finer intricacies of computer software)  but any more help would be sincerely appreciated if it is available  :)

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / .zip eh?

Um... it might be best to start off with saying that I don't know my way around a computer :sweatdrop:. I can use word processors or like spreadsheets and I know how to get around the internet but as for as dealing with the actually programs (besides double clicking on a desktop icon) i get totally lost.  ???  So i thought I'd ask and see if anyone can lend some knowledge on what a .zip file is/how it works and what i should be doing with them (or this leaving them alone). I ask because in the process of trying to figure out what I'm doing i came across a lot of troubleshooting help that instructs me to do things with .zip files and i don't want to mess around too much with things i don't know about, in case I somehow ruin the program (i don't know if that's possible but I'm sure I'll find a way). I already searched the forums (i'm also somewhat forums handicapped as I don't usually have to deal with them much) for info on .zip programs and tried some stickies that sorta helped a little and I'm getting the idea that it involves dragging and dropping which seems simple enough, but I'm still a little confused.   ???

If anyone's feeling patient, or generous, or whatever I'd seriously appreciate some enlightenment.  ???


PS In case this subject has already been discussed on another post and I simply missed it I'll gladly look there if someone can redirect me with a link or something... and if that is the case I suppose I should appologize beforehand for wasting anyones time.  ???

PSS Um i guess i should throw in there that This isn't a specific problem or anything urgent at all for that matter. I was just hoping to get some background knowledge if that's possible

I just Joined the KOF and i have to say i didn't notice any "bad members" at all. They helped me out alot when i just started and i havn't seen any "behavioural problems" either... i don't know if it was just older members who don't come one PS anymore but i really havn't seen much of a problem with it at all. I really odn't get because as far as i see none of the things sai here check out but if its just the status of the guild before then whatever but now the guild isn't bad at all i'm just not getting where all this bad rep is coming from.  ::|

« on: August 11, 2006, 08:32:54 pm »
I really need harnquist because he's the only way i can make any money (being new and the only stat i have is mining which i use to mine gold.) I really don't have any idea what i'm doing and i need harnquist to make any money because he's the only one that i know that buys raw materials. If someone could help by pointing out what happened to him or where i could sell my raw materials to someone else please do.  :o

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / having problems connecting to the server....
« on: August 08, 2006, 06:20:41 am »
I don't really know whats wrong it was working fine till i just got kicked off becase the server wasn't responding or something and it said to try again in 5 min. so i tried again but it didn't work and it kept saying fragnetics failed and that the server is not available. its been like this for almost an hour now and i'm kinda confused... i tryed restarting the computer but it didn't help... is it just me or is it the server? because i think other people are connecting fine... Fragnetics keep failing and i don't know what to do. i have the patch and the updater and everything updated it worked before and i didn't change anything. Can anyone help?

I used the windows zip wizard thing but i extracted it onto the planeshift file on programs/start menu and stuff... i'm really confused, sorry i have no technical ability at all and i don't see what on that post tells me what to do... i've seen the post before, i read tons of stikys before posting my problem but i didn't think i saw the solutiion to my problem... i'm reviewing the post now but i don't see anything.... :(  i'm really just not getting it...

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / can't seem too launch tech demo...
« on: August 04, 2006, 07:17:45 am »
i'm new to planeshift and am also very technically challenged... (i'm not even positive i know what it actually means to reboot) but ya i'm having trouble playing this... the first time i downloaded this it worked well enough up to the part where i had to log in. At that point it said something about the server and it wouldn't let me log in (i don't remember it was a few hours ago... it took me a while to finnaly decide to try the forums) so i tried updating and i kept geting messages like the upadte is newer than the server and the update is older than the server and then it just closed. so i thought i'd restart the computer but it didn't help anything so i uninstalled everything and then re-dowloaded everything again. this time i tried updating before opening it and i had the same too new/old messages. so i tried opening tech demo and i installed it and stuff but this time when i tried opening it i got a message saying:

Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift: Crystal Blue Details: ECEPTION_VIOLATION at 00b6D424

Would you like to save a diagnostic file?

If i click no then it just closes and i get a chance to send an error report. If i click yes then i get another message:

Saved dump file to 'C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\PlanesShift_Version_Jul 04 2006_Addr00b6D424.dmp'.
Please consult the PlaneShift forums for more details.
If you have concerns about privacy, see http://watson.microsoft.com/dw/1033/dcp.asp

that bit about seeing the forums for more details was what made me come here for help in the first place. I installed the latest version and everything but its not running properly i'm assuming. i'm really confused here and this took me forever to type because i couldn't copy and paste it... i'm not even sure the game is worth all this trouble anymore but i've wasted this much time on fixing the problem already so i'm not turning back now... unless my situation is hopeless in which case let me know.

i read the minimum requirements already and my computer meets all the requirements.
