Are you still using the same config file?  Like for your window settings (position and such?) .   Someone had suggesting installing the game in a different directory and trying that.  I know when you reinstall everything gets replaced - except some of your ingame settings (keyboard shorcuts and such)  could one of those be causing trouble with your char?  Installing in a new directory (or wiping your directory and re-installing) will give you fresh config files all around.  

I\'ve noted when It crashes on me on load, I get the \"PSClient.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down\" message.   Every single time It happens it\'s at the \"Requesting/Loading Word\" and the really wierd thing is that when it does, on the top left it displays a random characters name upside down and in green text/blue background (or vice versa - not sure).   I change nothing, but keep on trying to get in and when I do everything else runs fine!   Seem to have better luck around lesser busy times.   So could it be two people joining the game at the same time?  like it was suggested?

I\'m running it on XP pro on an E-machines Laptop:
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
512 MB of Ram -32MB Shared Ram
Wireless networking - connected to cable
On board ATi Radeon 320m video 32 MB Shared RAM
Cut down all extra processes and minimized XP visual effects to maximize available ram.  
Direct X Sound renderer - (Sofware sound is choppy and OpenAL crashes the game on startup).

BTW where is the best place to get the OpenAL dll?  I tried the one from OpenAL.org and creative with no luck.

I have tried most of the things on this page, but not with any degree of total success. I just wish that I could play. Oh well, we\'ve waited this long...

A dump of my error is here:

Alright, this is just getting stupid now.  Why would it take the developers this long to fix a bug that wasn\'t there before?

I\'m sort of at a total loss here.

My adventure with PS started out with version 0.3.005 installer. This installation went quick and without errors.

Starting the PS client for the first time resulted in some mousecursor-glitches and a somewhat hard to read font. No biggie, the game said to update, so I did. When I run the updater for the 1st time, it got stuck on updating the updater itself. (With an empty DOS screen open and file progress bar at 100%) It kept doing that when I retried a few times.

Then it seemed like it had downloaded the program in a ZIP, so I tried manually extracting that and started the new updater. My guess was right, as it now displayed the correct version number and started to download the normal updates. This was interrupted several times with the same error. (Open DOS window at 100% complete for that specific part)

After killing the processes and restarting the updater again, it seemed to go on at where it\'d left off, so I assumed all was well when it refused to update anymore and I started up the client again.

The PS-Client accepted my version of the game, I created a character and somehow during that (about 30 min) it gave an error that it had lost connection to the server and CTD-ed on me. After restarting the client again and rebuilding the character as good as I remembered, I clicked upload and froze on the loading world screen.

So far I\'ve tried running the game windowed and without  sound but it always stops there. Sometimes (seemingly random) the PS-client also gives a black screen on starting, killing it and restarting right away works most of the time. I tried running the setup program again (I\'ve ran it once before update) and since the update process it won\'t run anymore and gives an illegal operation error.

Code: [Select]
PSSETUP caused an invalid page fault in

So far I\'ve gotten 1 prompt to make a dump file, which gave an error when I agreed. Error: Unable to create ****.dmp or something similar. (sorry, I forgot to write down the error message)
I\'ve still found one dump file in the PS directory but since it\'s 0 bytes and empty, I doubt it will be of use.

System:

Athlon XP 2600+
NForce 2 board
1Gb RAM
Geforce 3
AC97 sound

Running on Win98 SE with more than 1GB free space.

------------

Anything I can try to make it work?

If there is a way to make it churn out error dump files again, I would gladly post that as well.

This is the first open source program I\'ve ever tried. I don\'t exactly know what I can do to help or who to turn to when something doesn\'t work.

Just to point out, quite a few people had problems with the 0.3.005 release.  If you check the mirrors thread, you can find the (more stable for some, like me) 0.3.004 release.  You can go from there.

Thx, I\'ll look into it.

EDIT:

Hmm, I\'ve reinstalled with the 0.3004 version, but now it gives the following error on starting the client.

Code: [Select]
 LoadLibraryEx(E:\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\vfs.dll) error 1157: One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
WARNING: could not load plugin \'crystalspace.kernel.vfs\'
Couldn\'t load VFS plugin \"crystalspace.kernel.vfs\"!
ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?
Exiting Planeshift.  Press Enter...
I don\'t know what most of that means, but it must be missing  this particular .DLL

Is there some way to get this file, so I can try if it works then?

Damn, got to get me some sleep soon (8:00 AM now) I\'ve been trying to get it to work for over 4 hours now and haven\'t even seen the game itself yet :(

@ Kleezs: It seems to be W98/ME (DOS-based windozes) that continously gives trouble to PS. As none of the devs seem to be running it, it is no surprise that all these W98 specific problems hit us undampened (the updater hang also is a DOS-WIN specific problem).

I also am unable to save a dump file, unless I open the desktop drawer. It was mentioned in another thread to solve the client crash, but didn\'t for me, just as moving the muse out of the PS window during loading Hydlaa Plaza.
The new error you get I haven\'t seen yet. Maybe the original install left something in the registry, and the old version chokes on it. I will look into that.

Thx, Seytra.

I\'ll get to work on trying the latest version again, in combination with the manual updating of some of the DLL\'s. I\'ve gotten a lot further with the 0.3.005 version so far, so maybe with some luck it will work; Trial and error all the way.

If it seems to work for other OS\'s, there must be some way to create a workaround for this issue.

I have found some few entries for Crystalspace, but they are empty. There is nothing on vfs that looks like PS.
So far it seems that the dll file in question is indeed missing in your configuration, it is present on my system, along with a config file, vfs.cfg. If you don\'t have these, I can post them.
