Updated, no text/words!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this and very happy that I finally found people dreaming of open source RPG as I did so long. I am a Sound Engineer, living in Wales, from Germany and I would like to have a look around in the world of planeshift, but there is  problem.

Well I searched for it 1 hour through the search function, but no thread on the forums are actually dealing with this problem, or I simply can\'t find it. So sorry that I need to bother you with this guys, but hey, what\'s a community for anyway

Ok, I installed planeshift and ran the updater, and I wanna start the game, but then nothing but the backround graphics appear on my screen. Not even the main buttons, nor any text?!

If you could help me with this, I\'d be very grateful! Actually, were do I need to apply if I wanna help developing PS? I could deliver soundwork for the game. But that I will look up on the page again.

My main problem IS the missing text, because I don\'t know what I should be typing, nor am I seeing any model of a character I\'d like to create.

Thanks for not pointing me straight to the search function, I already tried that, really. At least give me a link to an existing thread, if I missed it.


Thx,

Feredir

OMFG!! the excact same thing is happening to me... (searched around 4 an hour) and loged onto the froums, and found the perfect thread right here......

The same thing is happening to me.... it\'s sort of texty... but.... more like a bunch of lines..... it\'s crazy..... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME!!

[Feredir]

Yes, that\'s the same problem alright!

I\'ve got these strange lines coming up, which are like box-shape like, and when I press a button they even change, so they are propably supposed to be the letters we should see.

Yeh, I forgot to say that with the lines, Thx Neo/dbf?

If everything is updated, then changing the skin in the setup may help.

[oo DBF oo Neo]

Neo is my name...... if you\'ve heard of a game called Halo 2 on Xbox (of course you have)..... that\'s my clan (oo DBF oo)....

and..... you can\'t change the skin in the setup 4 me...... the boxes are there too...... THERE EVERYWHERE!!

[Feredir]

Yeah, that really is the problem, I would try to fiddle around it like I have to do almost every day with the PC, but I can\'t even try. I am a new user, so I don\'t know where the options are supposed to be, and the missing letters don\'t make the thing easy as well

But I am confident that we can solve this together somehow

PS:

@Neo: Of course I have heard of Halo 2 (played it through a couple of times with a mate of mine.) Unfortunatly I can\'t effort an Xbox for my own at the mo

[oo DBF oo Neo]

Awwwwwww....... well..... the Xbox should live fro about 2 years after thte xbox 360 comes out.... so get one then.... it\'ll be really cheap... get Xbox Live too..... I have it.... but..... my dad is queer and banned me from it..... I don\'t know when I\'ll get it back.... I\'m good too..... now I\'ll be crap when I get back on.... and everyone left my clan.... so I have to get them back..... god.... I have to start again..... lol....

Have you tried to update your graphics card drivers? there have been issues with some cards and older drivers.

[oo DBF oo Neo]

well..... this PC was recently pimped up..... so it shouldn\'t be the GC..... I can play Halo and that on this....

[Feredir]

it so happens I just installed the new drivers yesterday

*edit*

So, anyone any ideas?

I\'d like to start with playing you know...

[steuben]

list card, model, os, driver version.

but traditionally this has been an issue with graphics drivers. or it maybe because of the ocing on the card.

and playing halo on the comp means nothing. becuase ps is better then halo.

[Feredir]

Ehm,

Card: S3 TwisterT HP

OS: Win XP

DriverVersion: 1.0.38.512

Thanks for your help,

F

@Steuben: Are u german too? Just wondered

[Karyuu]

Hm. The S3 Twister doesn\'t seem to support OpenGL. How much RAM do you have, also?

[Feredir]

not enough :D

far below 512, but i just wanted to have a look until my new pc comes along next year.

But, I should say, that why doesn\'t it support OpenGL, or is there a Direct3D option?


Thx

*edit*

or might their be a trick around this problem

@all the Hackers: WORD !

Don\'t double-post; just edit your last post to add in new info if no one has replied yet :) --Karyuu

But, I should say, that why doesn\'t it support OpenGL, or is there a Direct3D option?

Planeshift is a cross-platform game running on Windows, Linux and OS X. The only cross-platform option is OpenGL.
