Character Creation Problem Suggestions

[MutialtedFlame]

I too have been experiencing this character creation problem.  Trust me the rest of the suggestions have been tested and failed. I was wondering if there was a dump log? I opened psclient.txt and it looks like it might be one. Perhaps the problem lies in the interface?

Edit: I also noticed that /art/gui and /art/buttons are empty folders. Hopefully someone can use this info to work something out.

The GUI is fine, all the the graphics are loaded, and the ones that are currently implimented are working correctly.  The Next button is active for the fallowing reasons:
IF you do not select a race the next button informs you
IF you do not select a name the next button informs you
Also a signal is sent to there server, because the activity light blinks when you click next, so the problem almost has to be on there server.

Good Ideas though.

I still don\'t understand the errors in the log then.

The lighiting error i think is relaited to the view of your char and has no real effect

[MutialtedFlame]

Nevermind was an improper load

[comphappy]

rename your log to psclient.txt.bak then create a new file called psclient.txt in notepad. Run the update util start the program attempt the char gen and see if you get the messages in your log


Just an idea

I think those are froma faulty load, otherwise there would be multiple of those same entries.  Also i do not have those errors, and i have the same problems

[comphappy]

can you post your update.txt not the update.log


I want to see if you have these same errors

The character creation problem is on the server side and not on the client, so log files do not help finding the reason.

The message about critical files not found is valid and everybody gets it when running the updater. It shows up because there are no updates for the server that we could download.

Please don\'t post any more log files about this character creation issue. They will just increase your message counter, but have no value for fixing the problem
