Game Startup + WinXP

[Tri_Moon]

As so many, i have read on this forum before i posted this. I also had problems running this alpha client on WinXP.

This was the problem i got:
You startup and it seemingly hangs, after a few sec (=>30sec) you get an application error, and the game crashes to desktop.

This is what i had to do to getin:
I changed the \"psclient.cfg\" as follows,
-=-=-=-=-
; Use full-screen mode if available
Video.FullScreen = no
-=-=-=-=-
Into this
-=-=-=-=-
; Use full-screen mode if available
Video.FullScreen = yes
-=-=-=-=-

After this change the game did not crash when trying to login.
Only drawback is when you quit, the game and music if you have enabled that, see FAQ here in forum, keeps on screen and playing music. You have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and kill the process to get out...

PS: I cant understand why some people have not been banned from this forum or at least their posts deleted, accoarding to the rules when you enter this forum board. But thats my personal opinion. I almost didnt took the effort to read more or even post this when i saw the kind of response some1 gave to a seemingly legitamae noobie question...

Well thats all for now, see you all in about six months when the game has developed more...

Well you didn\'t read very far, I am most likely the one who flamed the newbie, It\'s not that hard to SEARCH  the forums.

I personally use Windows XP currently with the
TechDemo of Planeshift.  There may be a few
programming issues with this version using the OpenGL
version of the software.  However, if you use the
SafeMode version, it should work perfectly.

Although this is just a simple bug in the programming, I
think that eventually, with the next few releases, the PS
programmers will modify the actual program to where
it will be able to run perfectly (with a few issues here
and there) on all Windows Operating Systems (with
the exception of Windows ME..... nobody, and I repeat,
NOBODY should ever program for that OS again).

I use Win XP SP1 and have the lastest demo.  Everything seems to work perfect.  I use full view mode with sound and nothing seems wrong except that it\'s a little laggy.  But as people have suggested to me, that it\'s because of the newness of the game.

What the hell, I don\'t remember posting that.
