Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: Immediate game crash (in Windows and Linux)
« on: December 21, 2006, 10:08:59 am »
Any progress on this?

Me, I reinstalled Windows and went back to my old, trusted Kerio Personal Firewall.  Downloaded the client again, fired up the game, and got the same crash.

I don't get it. :(

I have been extracting the dumps in the dump thread. They are the first two of this message:
http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26465.msg302972#new

To m, the first one looks like there is some problem loading some map. The second is a bit more tricky, but that is not the real dump that we should focus on, since it has happened to snwod quite seldom.


Recently, I've been getting both dump codes (about a 2:1 ratio).  I just can't understand how both installs on my computer could be experiencing the same problem.  Do you think it might have something to do with my location?  Are there any other players playing from East Asia?

I managed to open your description before you crashed and I see the line "You rescued a family from a burning house" there. I still think that this long line in your description crashes the client. At least in my client the "house" word would go to the next line.

If the font scaling trick didn't work, download this file to your data/gui directory (C:\Program Files\Planesift Crystal Blue\data\gui on Windows): chardescwindow.xml. You may need to right-click on the link and select "Save Link As" or whatever you have in your browser.

Did this.  It crashed once.  I started again, and got to walk around for about 10 seconds...(checked my profile and none of my descriptions were over two lines)...and then it crashed again. :)

Midalen Snwod.

Midalen is moved. Try logging in now.

Ack.  It didn't work. :(

Hmm.  I wonder what the problem could be.  I don't have any exotic hardware or anything.  And my internet connection works with A Tale in the Desert (which is the other MMORPG I play).  Strange.

What is your character's name? I will try to move you to somewhere else, but I still think it is related to long lines in the description.

Midalen Snwod.

Yeah, I tried creating a new character, but now I'm back to the same problems I was having in the first thread I posted here (about the client disconnecting from the server and shutting down).  Do you think I've got some sort of hardware problem?

I would try downscaling the font size in the PS setup. Change it to 70% and try connecting again. If it works, edit your character's description and remove longer lines that otherwise would wrap over to the next line with a larger font size. After that you can restore the original font size.

Changed the font scaling to 70, then 60, then 50.  It's still crashing.  The world (if it loads) loads for about 5 seconds, then crashes.

Hi!

Sorry I haven't yet got the time to look at the dumps. Unfortunately, I have been pretty busy.

Yes, since you have the problem in both OS it might be an area issue and some GM might have to move you. However, it might also not be that but one of the problems with the character description window. Do you have the font size quite small or quite big?


To quote that little girl who crashed at the bear's house...I think it's about just right. :)  I don't squint at the screen, nor do I have to scroll down just to read a couple words.

Maybe I'll try and create another character.

Also, don't worry about looking at the dumps.  This is a FOSS game.  I realize that everyone working on it is volunteering.  Take your time.

Hello folks.

I'm having some problems trying to load the game (after character creation).  Basically, the game crashes as soon as the world loads.  I've gotten some .dmp files from the Windows crash (and sent them to the woman working on those...from the sticky in this forums other section).  This happens in both Windows and Linux (openSUSE 10.2).

I think I read somewhere that it might be a problem with the area where I'm starting, and that I can request a Game Master to move me to another starting location.  How do I do that?  What do you need from me to do for this to work?

Thanks for your help.

Linux Specific Issues / Re: Linux updater
« on: December 14, 2006, 05:36:54 am »
Hello.  I was having this problem as well.  The GUI for the updater was running obscenely slow (I think I also had 2 KB/s).

What I ended up doing was running the updater from the command line.  It's not as hard as it sounds.  I am running openSUSE 10.2, and this is what I did (I think that the PlaneShift installer loads files into the same places in most distros):

open up a console and type the following
Code: [Select]
~$ cd /opt/PlaneShift
~$ ./updater
It ran the updater in the console, and the download speeds were normal.  I think it took about a minute or so.

Hope this helps.

Cool.  Thanks for that.  I'll get right on top of it. :)

It is in your control pannel, in Internet connections.  :)
right click the connection you are using and select properties, it will be in there.

Right.  I'll take a look when I get home.  Hopefully I can get this up and running tonight.  I need something distracting now that the winter has come! :)

EDIT:  Ok, I didn't find any setting in my connection properties that would do something like the problem I am experiencing.

Any other ideas.  I might just try downloading the program again and reinstalling it.

EDIT2:  Reinstalled the game, and now I was able to create a character (though there were some weird things where program would suddenly shift me back a couple of pages every so often).  Now, when I try to log in, the game crashes and save a diagnostic report.  What should I do with that?

snwod, I would check my internet settings, while in charecter creation, there is little activity until you have finnished creating and select create, then the information is sent to the server.
You may have it set to disconnect after XX minutes of inactivity.  Its worth a try :)

Are these settings something I set with the client?  Or is this something having to do with firewalls and routers on my side?  As far as I know, my firewall and router have no such settings for disconnecting after no activity.  This has never happened in any other program I use with the internet (e.g. torrent programs or other MMORPGs) when they go through spells of no internet activity.

Do you have a wireless connection?  Could you try to move closer to the access point? 

Nope.  Connected to the router by wire.

*edit*

Also, I don't know if this is relevant or not (server distance or something), but I'm playing from Japan.

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Client Disconnected
« on: December 10, 2006, 08:27:27 am »
Hello folks.

Just downloaded and installed the game a few days ago.  I have also ran the updater.

Now, I have been trying to create a character for the past couple days or so, but I keep getting disconnected.  I get this message when the game disconnects: "Your client has disconnected. If you are seeing this message a connection error has likely occurred."  This happens in the morning, in the afternoon, and the evening.

I have port 7777 open on my router and on my firewall (Zone Alarm).  I don't have any problems playing a different MMORPG (A Tale in the Desert).  Any idea what the problem may be?

My computer is running Windows XP Home on an Asus A8V motherboard with an AMD64 3700 processor, 1024 PC 3200 RAM, an nVidia 6600GT, and SoundBlaster Live!.

Let me know if you need any more info from me to sort out this problem.

Thanks
