Instead of saying just "never mind I fixed it" like so many
others in this forum, without telling people how they fixed
the problem... I'm going to tell you how I did it!

I talked to a game master while playing the game in another
computer and they just told me to do this and it worked.

Right click on the planeshift updater file and click on properties.

There add -repair to the end so it looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Steel Blue\psupdater.exe" -repair

Then run the updater... problem fixed... for ME

Thanks for the help!

I suppose it could be my graphics card.. I'm using a omega driver
from omegadrivers.net, for ATI

I tried to update it but it didn't work.

Also my graphics card is just 64mb but I have always been able to
play the game with this same computer.  The only thing that isn't
in top standard is the graphics card so "maybe" it could be happening
because of the Radeon card I'm using.

I had actually done the sound card change on my own and after I
did that I didn't even get past "loading word"

I have been reading all the posts here and it always seems things work
the exact opposite for me

I'll try to do my best and if nothing works I'll just have too update my
computer

thanks for all the help!
