Planeshift runs without problems during the first time.
When I exit the game and restart it I only get a black screen - the last message I see is \"loading/starting GUI\".

I check for the reason (why should a program run only one time and do not start at the second time?)... and found something:

Within the world-files /art/world/*.zip there is stored some data, for example files called \"0\" ...
It looks like this is the crystal space lightning cache stuff.

So I tried to delete /art/world and copied from the backup I made directly after the installation -> and the problem disappears temporary, at least for one start of planeshift.

The same problem (black screen) seems to happen if I run around and a new level is loaded (Death Realm). Everything is fine, but when I try to go back to Main Plaza -> black screen.

-> there is something stored in /art/world which crashes the client, or at least it only brings you to a black screen instead of the normal game screen.

Anyone else had this problem? Any workaround for this?
(I think it is possible to tell crystal space to recalc lightning stuff every time, but I did not find the configuration-file till now...)

You\'re not going to want Crystal Space to recalculate the lighting each time you run it. It could take several hours. :D
