Thank you!  [I will try in my morning...  It's somewhat late in my real time and I might just fall asleep before I could enter game :(  ]

Or any other library?

I know the book I want is on the first floor (upstairs)...  I know from the catalogue that there will be many other books on that floor that I should read in addition to the book I want to read....

But I can't find *any* books to read?  Siskeava is tall young woman... she can reach a lot of shelves....  But clicking every book?  "Mousing over" entire rows, shelves, ends of shelves....  I never find anything that will allow me to find/ select/ read a book?

How do I read a book in a library?

Thank you for your help :)

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Re: Would there be a way to download to DVD and then run on a different computer?

This is just a quick update to say that when I was given the MB to use, after down-loading and playing a few hours, I used 1.06 Mb of data.  The old data usage seems to still hold.  :) 

I had grey/black screen issues so I have dropped to window mode and all the graphics cut down choices suggested.  I haven't tried to increase anything to see which one caused my problem.

I had a server failed issue.  I made my Avira anti-virus trust both the launcher and the updater at the 3bar vs the 1bar level.  Avira doesn't like planeshift as it doesn't  have some (I assume) expensive certificate.

Once again, thank you everyone for your help and I am enjoying being part of this project once again.  :)

Thank you very much Rigwyn & Tuathanach!

I'm not good with the + exponentials (much more familiar irl with -3 exponentials!).  The advertising giveaway USB stick in my handbag/ pocketbook would be just fine!

Better news though (for me) is that my irl better half has offered me 1 Gb of data to spend tomorrow that he doesn't need, so, I don't need to go down my initial question path! :D

Tuathanach, you're suggesting 396 to 864 kb per hour...  that might mean I have to limit my in game time and ration it over a month.  What I'll do is watch the modem and the data useage and try to post some numbers back to this thread to help anyone else that might be dealing with similar issues.  (I don't think there's too many areas of our real world with potential players who don't have access to fixed ADSL/ cable broadband though.)

Thanks again gentlemen!

*shivers*  I was last rescued violently from being stuck in a house wall in Ojeveda.....  What will I find in a new version of the game tomorrow?! 

(Edit was to correct Mb and Gb....   did I say I'm bad with +3 exponentials?)

Hi all,

I've searched for my problem and can't seem to find the answer.

I want to start playing again on a new computer so will need to install the game.  However, I have a mobile broadband package (4G) which is limited to 20 GB for the month.

1.  Would I be able to download the game at a willing friend's house where there is an unlimited internet package, put it on a DVD and then install to my machine?

2.  How much internet data does say, an hour of play use?

Thank you in advance for your help.  I'd really like to give the game another go.  :)
