Hello, welcome to the PlaneShift forums.

Rule #1: We do NOT double-triple-bajillion post in here. If you have new information, always edit your previous post and add it in there, instead of making post after post of (nearly) useless information. This whole thread needs some major cleaning.

Rule #2: Multiple exclamation and/or question marks do not speed anything up, make anything more readable/understandable, or raises anyone\'s desire to help you. Calm down. Take a deep breath. This is a game, your life does not depend on it.

Rule #3: You are in no position to continue that horrible, demanding tone, with anyone here. People volunteer their time, and have been extremely patient with giving you their suggestions and offering advice on how to make the application work. Try to be a little more respectful in the community - otherwise you are going to have a hard time staying here. I will personally make sure of that.


Now as for your last post: After the planeshift .exe file is downloaded, double click to run it. Make sure you are clicking on the .exe, not the torrent. Check the size, as Nilrem so kindly posted earlier. Follow his instructions.

Hej....

I\'m also new to planeshift and also was (and am - maybe due to poor RAM) facing some trouble, but, bountyhunter - I feel like haveing to say a word or two, please, don\'t get mad at me and just say if I\'m getting it wrong..)

First, and most of all, this is a free, open source project (that is just doing a version jump that seems still not complete?? as for linux, haven\'t tried the windows version successfully).

This means two things: One, it\'s not allways like buying one of those boxes with super-so-and-so, throw the cd in and double click - and get mad if there\'s any issue. Second: They seem to try a lot to get you on your feet with it here and you (just say if I\'m wrong) seem to get more and more angry.... without answering their questions properly - which they only do ask because they don\'t really see what has happed and went wrong. All they want to do is meet you in the game, I\'m sure! It\'s also about their fun.

Now to your problem: They asked you what exactly it is you are doubleclicking and you just keep saying an icon from the torrent download. Windows, in standard configuration, uses to hide what icons point to from its users. You could, however, right-click the icon, look what \"properties\" says and post the answer.

Also, it might not run before you do the uptdate. You can find the update *after* installing the fully downloaded file (the one you are trying to download again via mirror 2 as you say) and then in (Win XP?) \"Start -> All programms -> Planeshift -> \" and there the updater icon.

If the updater is slow then try the alternative server mentiond in this posting:
http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19398&boardid=17&styleid=3&sid=1ace813d76a7f2296fb8509a6c05221a

And then again try to start the game, both, via desktop icon and start menu. For me (under linux) a desktop icon which I crated just kept crashing when logging in and it seems that it needed the working direktory in the icons\' properties settings. Don\'t have the windows icon right now to test it....

(btw, I downloaded the win version with donkey, works also fine!)

Again, never mind if I talked too much

You will have to do a lot of reading, and be really patient here. PlaneShift is a pre-alpha tech demo, really not a game at all, and so you shouldn\'t come in here expecting flawless perfection. Yes there are occasional problems, yes some of them are currently unsolvable by the players, but things are constantly being looked at and fixed.

[bountyhunter]

alrighty now,

so once it\'s downloaded on the desktop i should check if it\'s the exe.?then i check properties?and um that\'s it?

[Karyuu]

The file is supposed to have a .exe extension, and have a size of 245,856,434 bytes. Right-click and hit properties to check this.

[bountyhunter]

aight,
bittorent says it\'s done coz it\'s at 100%
the icon that appears on my desktop when bittorent downloads planeshift does not have the .exe and i checked properties n stuff doesn\'t really say nething so what the heck happened to the thing that i click on to install the game? ne1 here that can help meh?
it has the amount of bytes u said karyuu but not the .exe extension(i\'m very confused) and what am i supposed to do with bitTorrent?Is anyone here to help me or answer my questions in any way?

[Karyuu]

Alrighty. Try double-clicking it. Does it disappear again? If yes, then you are going to have to be patient and wait for someone else to offer new suggestions. Myself, I\'d be stumped ;)

As for what you do with bittorent... You could leave it running and share the download with others, for as long as you can, which is preferred. Or you can uninstall everything once you get the game working.

[bountyhunter]

OMG LOVE U SOOOOOO MUCH KARYUU it finally worked!!
*hugs*and*kisses* ya to death
