Digital Limbo
« on: January 08, 2009, 07:57:16 am »
Aaah.
Hello, I am rather new to this game, and I have trouble with holes in the ground, I usually end up a bit away from them when entering them, but at times I can be hurled away very far.
I was at the place where you buy Glyphs, from the guy in the forest, and when trying to get back to Hydlaa, the road was gone, I still entered though, and in a second, I was at the second floor of the cabin where you buy glyphs. I couldn't get away.
So I try a few times, and I can't get away, and after about 11 times or so, I entered a digital limbo. The screen was kind of frozen, but I could move the panels and all, I just couldn't see myself.
So I got the advice to /die, so I did (god I'm tired of death realm...) and I am still in Limbo! But in death realm!
My username here is the same as in game, so.
What should I do? I can't do a thing!
I think I am stuck somewhere below deathrealm, but /unstick won't work, and /die just revives me into Limbo!
What happened?  ::|

Well, The wonders of the Death Realm, it is a bitter sweet place, that can be exited about 5 minutes after entering if you know where you are going. Unfortunatly for you we can't tell you here. Best advice I can offer is to try to find your way out, or get led out by another player. Just /die and you will be back at the place you first started in the Death Realm, then either wait for someone to appear and try to get help, or try to follow the walkways out of DR on your own, there is only really a single counter-intuitive point to it, but still kept me busy for around 3 hours :oS
Proceeding through life like a cat without whiskers, perpetually stuck behind the refrigerator.

Pizik, the vast majority of people have great difficulty with the death realm the first time they end up there.  I don't think 5 minutes is realistic.

What I did when I was new was delete and remake my character whenever I died.  You'll have to figure out how to exit it eventually, but being stuck there when you're new isn't fun since you just want to try out the game.

I believe I was not clear enough, I have been to the death realm about, well, plenty of times, know it like the back of my pocket.
I am in a Digital Limbo, I have not got out of position data, I do not fall, but I am outside of the world, I call it digital limbo, I don't know what else to call it. I can't walk anywhere, I can't see my character, etc.
what are your system stats?
Mac OS X 10.4.11
1GB RAM
2.16GHz CPU (Intel)
64MB VRAM
it is a MacBook 2,1
I have no idea how this happened. I hope it is a bug though.

which graphics card do you have?
take a look at www.planeshift.caarrie.org for further help ;) most common mac fixes are on that site in easy to use format.

It is solved now, I don't get how though, but what I do get is that I'll stay out of the forest.

staying out of a part of the game does not mean the bug is fixed, it could be an issue with your system or the game, if you follow what i say in my website it might help in solving your issues.

Think it was a map loading bug. Those do occur.
