Can't play it anymore... client's not working
« on: November 02, 2005, 12:52:35 am »
i can\'t open the client anymore, not after i got updates for v0.3.011 to 0.3.012... and i think it was because there was one file i couldn\'t update, \"Following files failed: \'libmng-cs.dll\' \"... Can you help me?

P.S. i\'m new to this forum, and i was wondering, do you care much if i don\'t capitalize my \'i\'s and if i don\'t use \'perfect\' sentence structure? i will if i must

Just to help you guys, the error message says, \'Something unexpected happened in Planeshift: Crystal Blue
Details: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0051F91A

Would you like to save a diagnostic file?\'

here is the rather odd resolution for the problem. found it through search.

as for the second question... capitalization isn\'t required. i\'ve never capitalized anything. grammer is mostly what people care about. but not as much as txt and leet speak. *shudders*

oh yeah, and edit rather than new post.

thx steuben  ;) just to tell you, i\'ve never played ps before  8o ...i\'ve had the client since forever, but i got it when the server was down and being \'wiped\', i\'ve never been connected before...

Edit: i\'ve seen that thread, and the \'unexpected thing happened\' thread about it too... and i still can\'t play it.
And, i know, it might take a while to fix. But right now i want answers  :D

I\'d recommend learning to type using the shift key, now and again.  :rolleyes:  On IRC or something capitalization is rather meaningless, but on the forums you can take the extra millisecond to use shift.  (not the end of the world, but it\'d be nice...)  Though, no one in their right mind would care that much about sentence structure and/or perfect grammar.  It just gets annoying to read allot of stuff that looks like it was typed by a drunk monkey.

A quote to clarify.

Dave, that quote is the funniest I\'ve read in a while. Thanks for the cheap laugh  :D . I totally agree with you. There are times when taking that extra second or two to type properly means the difference between getting your point accross or looking like a clown. Of course, not everyone speaks english fluently, and in those cases we can overlook any typos. Anyway...

I\'m also having trouble, and the \'fix\' didn\'t work for me either. I keep trying different settings though, hoping to find another \'fix\'. Nothing so far.

Thx, guys. And yes, I\'m as English-literate (is \'english\' capitalized?) as anyone.... But even thought it IS my first language... no huge vocabulary PLEASE. ;)
Please don\'t look at me as if i\'m a grammar noob, i\'m not, but i\'m not a technical sentence freak either.  :)
Thank you for your feedback, i was wondering what the general public thought about sentences.

Back to my original gripe. 8o  8o  8o (look above to my 1st post for details, and read the rest of the thread, too)I think that if I just get the new client, 0.3.012, it would resolve my issue.  ?(  And no, I wouldn\'t lose anything valuable, haven\'t started, just my old cheesy character.

There will be a full rease out soon, as soon as some issues are resolved. Should get rid of a few minor bugs as well.
