Sounds like a not enough RAM issue; at least I had similar effects on my old computer when it only had 196 MB. It might also be that you don\'t have the most recent graphics / directX versions.

Also, it could be the darkness bug that some are experiencing, but IIRC the menus would be there in that case.

Edit: as for your participation in PS development: have a look at the \"help us\" page at http://www.planeshift.it to see whom to contact.

Thanks for the advice..... but  i still don\'t know what\'s wrong...  i\'m working on a p4 2.4ghz with 512 RAM.... and i have intel extreme graphics (latest driver), and the directx 9.0c...

do you have any more suggestions for me?

10x....

what does \"IIRC the menus would be there in that case\'
stand for...?

i played with the graphics card a bit and it works ... except a little thing.... all the labels on people and npc\'s are white.... and i don\'t know what they mean...... do you have any suggestions maybe?

This probably sounds fairly stupid, but try to hold in shift and move the mouse up.  When I have something like this it\'s because it\'s zoomed out.  Holding shift and moving the mouse up zooms in.
