Yeah I did dial down all the graphics and turned off the music.
I read the forum and used a lot of the reccomendations for my problems. BUT, I didn't address them here. I thought that I would wait to see if I could resolve them.

The above (first posting) are the issues I couldn't resolve.

What would be a good PC set up for runing Plane Shift style programs?

Erzulie back again, here is some system and graphics card info. For now I am on a 56k modem. I had a very wiggly wi/fi connection but it just crashed Plane Shift. The 56k worked better although I can easily understand it would work best on a cable connection.

hello Plane Shifters. I have been attempting to play PS for many years but it just had too many issues for my computers to cope with. I have a nice little PC that was given to me and for the first time I was able to play Plane Shift in a couple different characters up through about 15 beginer quests but I did notice some persistant problems.
1. The training area sure needs some help. Much of it is out of date and about half of the training fails or fails altogether to load. I never DID see a furnace behind the blacksmith gal but another player clearly did.
2. There are many areas in the quests and NPC directions that are out of date and confusing to a new player.
3. Where the heck am I? No maps? When a new area wouldn't fully load and you are supposed to follow an unseen road, whaddya do? Where is my avatar, and where in relation to everywhere else? Very discouraging.
4. If I look straight ahead the view is bleached out. Turn a little left (in 3rd person but the same in other views) and I see a fully loaded scene in afternoon light. A little more left, it's night. Turn a little right, it's gone, then bleached out. Turn a little right a fully loaded sunset scene, a little more gone, back to bleached. The strobing in awful.
5. It uses 100% of my CPU which made my computer rebel and yell at me until I deleted Plane Shift from my computer.


NOW, I understand how PS is being created and I appreciate that. I am about to invest in a custon PC and I would like any tips you players may wish to share about putting together a computer that can handle a program such as Plane Shift or other mass graphics online sites. I thank you all for any help and I hope someday to be able to really sink my teeth into this creation.
