character initialization error

[kahoshi]

It says its iniazilizating...ssits that way for over an hour an still doesn\'t do anything, yet it still manages to take up all my CPU memory.

It can take up to 2 hours on some machines the first time you log in. However, it may also be that you don\'t have enough RAM to run the game. Who knows? You havn\'t given us much to go on.

[kahoshi]

lets see, 384 ram and a pentium 3. Is that not enough?

[Moogie]

Seems not...

Well, I suggest you wait for 2 hours, without touching your keyboard at all during that time. Watch a movie, have some lunch... just leave the game loading, undisturbed.

If you come back and the game has loaded, good for you! However, if it still hasn\'t changed, your computer probably isn\'t capable of running it. In which case, you could either buy some more RAM and see if that helps, or simply wait untill Crystal Blue has been released.

You could also try running the Updater program and then seeing if the game loads. On some rare cases, doing this can fix your problems... however, don\'t hold your breath.

What are the supported systems for the game? Because i have the same problem.

Ok i have a Voodoo 3 video card and 192 MB of RAM memory. I have about 5GB of free space and 500Mhz Pentium 3.

[Moogie]

Have you actually done anything I posted here to help solve the problem, Maxim?

Sounds like you\'ve got a pretty old system. In particular I\'d say you\'re lacking in RAM and maybe the graphics card needs to be brought into the 21st century.

There\'s no definite list of supported and unsupported systems/cards/RAM amount/etc for PlaneShift. Though I always say, that the more RAM you have, the better.

various steps ppl have suggested to follow to make ur chances of succeeding higher;

* Close all uneeded programs.
* Disable firewalls.
* Make planeshift the first thing you run when you turn on your comp.
* Free up a few gigs and make sure you have the latest drivers.
* Run full screen and avoid exiting the program at any time.
* When you get to initializing world go get yourself a cup of coffee, something in the act of getting a cuppa worked for me XD.
* Run updater if u havent already.

Nevermind it works now, but how do i make it full screen?

[KwartzTheKran]

run planeshift setup.exe before runing planeshift
