Windows Vista Home 1 GB RAM I don't know Video Card. Sorry I didn't post earlier. If that's not enough plz tell me
I run PlaneShift on two windows computers currently, one Vista Home Basic and one Vista Business. Both run fine. I've also run it on Home Premium.
Not to sound like a broken record (yes, I know I've said this on many a post) but have you run the updater in administrator mode (Right click on the updater icon and choose Run as Administrator).
Then try launching the game normally and if that fails try running the game in administrator mode as well.
I tried to run both on admin, and it never worked. I've tried other ways to including your way and it never worked. The Updater worked I mean but the Game still crashed. It still showed the Exception Acess Error. The guy still never got me email by the way. My Processor is AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1.90GHz. My video card is ATI Radeon X1200. By the way, when
plane shift, a message says the Data Execution Prevention has closed down the psclinet.exe.
