usually windows drivers for intel cards lack a decent opengl implementation. macosx and linux are better in this department.

Well, it's a shame I have a windows computer then. x.x

Oh well, thank you anyway.

I am trying to play the game on a mini mac 10.5.8, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
The game crashes every time at the 'create new character' screen, when I click on any of the races. Also if I click on the 'advanced' tab.
I have just installed the new software updates and restarted the computer but that didn't help.
What to do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello PlaneShift forums. I'm new.

Okay, now that that's out of the way - I'm a new user having the same problem as above. I'm not a very technical person, but I am seeking help to fixing this problem - if it can be fixed - so, if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do, please let me know.

Just like Avane up there, I've downloaded and installed everything just fine, and the client boots up alright too. Once I get into the "create new character" screen, I'll click on a race, and then the game will proceed to "not respond" and insta-crash. I'm pretty well sure all this has to do with graphics, given the evidence of that being the problem these other fine folks have had it would seem, except I'll reiterate - I'm not a very techy person. As such, I have no idea what most of you are on about, so if someone could spell it out in small, small words, I'd appreciate it.

I'm not sure the exact specs of my computer, but a quick look up for eMachines T3604 should tell you what all I have - that, plus 4GB memory. It's a very, very bad computer, but I have been able to play some games on it, and would very much like to get into Planeshift, if I can.

If I can't, well... Darn'. -.-

I can't see any of the models at the char-creation screen. In fact, the 'window'  in which the model should appear - or at least, its background - doesn't even look right (bottom at the top, probably upside-down, and nothing but black and pixels at the bottom).

Ooh look, I has a picture like this: http://dkr8.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/fuckedupthingy.jpg

If anyone has any immediate advice they can give, my skype name inadvertently got included on that there screenshot, so please feel free to message me if you can be of any help.
