Error befor the game starts
« on: December 30, 2004, 04:24:40 pm »
I downloaded and instaled the game, but when I click the icon for it to work,it flashes the little black window and give me a error that looks like this

I click ok, and it pops uo again. It wont go away, and this error pops up for any planeshift file but the tool, that wont download right and dosnt launch. I uninstaled the planeshift, then reinstaled but that gave me a error too.

I push Retry, but it pops up again and again, but ignore lets it re-install the rest of the way(but it reapperes at the end for praticly every file).
And it still wont let me run the game.(or any other file with the name planeshift)

have you ran the updater? If not, try that. That should help.....and if not im not sure but i think i saw a thread where you could get the .dll it needs.....

I hope  this will help...

For the first error:
I assume you have an Intel 845G (or similar graphics chipset). Because this DLL-file is the OpenGL driver for this graphic-cards.
Try to download newest drivers for your graphics card or reinstall the drivers you have.

For the second error:
Second error seems to be only a followup-error.
It looks like after the error some files are still locked on your system, so try to reboot your system before you reinstall planeshift.

I dont think running the updater will help (if updater starts...), because this looks like an error outside of planeshift - windows could not load/activate the sharable image.

Which graphics card do you have installed on your system, which operating system?

@3: Thats what I assumed.

Which graphics card do you have... is it an Intel?

If not maybe only a driver for this Intel Graphics Card/Chipset is installed, which is not needed on your system.

Check out this to get the exact graphics card name:

  http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-009478.htm

It should be one of these:

Intel? 82810 Graphics Controller
Intel? 82815 Graphics Controller
Intel? 82830M Graphics Controller
Intel? 82845G Graphics Controller
 Intel? 82852/82855 Graphics Controller Family
Intel? 82865G Graphics Controller
Intel? 82915G

After that go here
  http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/
and try to download+install the latest driver for exactly your graphics card.

If that wont help... i am sorry, have no further idea.

I have already installed the latest update for my graphic card. I instaled it 5 days ago. Should I report this error?
