LINKDEAD?????

[acraig]

No problem.  I can see how it is fustrating for people when it doesn\'t work.  But it also very fustrating for me.  I\'ve tried on a couple of different systems and cannot get this linkdead problem. So we try our very best to get rid of any problems that I can see.  Since I cannot reproduce this particular one, it makes it very hard for me to figure out what is causing it and I have no idea if we have fixed it or not.  

We can only continue on and offer possible problems ( like the firewall ) but if we say we don\'t have an answer then we probably don\'t.  We may have a little more experience then some people but this is a new project for most of us and we are still learning the ins and outs of it.

Thanks, and I appreciate your help!
My friend has a question for you though, he wants to know if since you guys programmed the error messege to pop up, because it pops up as a planeshift window looking thing, that if you have a programmer who may know the reason for the link dead messege to pop up, since he programmed the game to do so.

I have Dial-up -> no router or firewall and I have Linkdead problem too. Can be the problem in ping? Or in my provider?

[Derettahs]

I have DSL, with a router that has a built in firewall, I can connect fine without enabling anything specific.

Just a thought.

Hi, I\'m yet another fish who\'s been left linkdead in the water. Funny thing is that I played PS about 5 weeks ago and it was working fine at that time. I haven\'t changed my system nor my net connection since that time (Win 98se, college internet). If that doesn\'t help anyone I\'ll get out my voodoo instruments and try to assist that way. Good luck, I hope someone finds the fix soon (I\'d really like to continue playing this cool game).

I have trid severl times With 13331 and it is stil not working.What now?

hmm...you know I have a friend who has this same problem.


But anywise, the only thing I can think of is the fact he uses AOL while I use Earthlink.

I used to use AOL my self a while ago(about 10 years ago), but I left due to the fact that at the time they used a pseudo acceleration technique that involved an extra router(i.e. not a real PPP or SLIP connection could happen)

I do not believe they have changed their system yet.
And if the Link Dead people are using AOL this might be the cause.

Just some food for thought.

Well, for me, I looked at the FAQ, and found a problem it mentioned that is related to being linkdead:

8. Win XP users (and maybe other users aswell):

If you have trouble with logging in, go to the properties of \"psclient.exe\". Under compatibillity, change the compatibillity from Win95 into Win98/ME.

After you do that you should have less or no trouble logging in.

Having trouble logging in, which could be read as going linkdead when you login/submit your character, is basically the same thing.  Try the above solution, see if it works for you.  I hate double-posting this, as I already did in the message sticked in this forum on Linkdeath.  Worked perfectly for both the systems I\'ve tried the game with, as well as helped out somebody else who tried it.

Now if I could only figure out how to get better than an average 0.12 fps, so I could possibly play the game, I\'d be set.

[Plageron]

Actually in my friends case he cannot do that, since he is using Windows ME.

[xlorepdarkhelm]

Sorry, just trying to spread the word for the WinXP users.

And tell your friend I\'m really, really sorry he\'s stuck with Win ME.

Linkdead,

I was playing the game fine, then had to reinstall XP and reinstalled Planeshift and now I get this error. I tried first logining in under my last name and then tried created a new account...

Nothing has changes since last time.
