EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION: CPU feature dependend build?

[LigH]

The new build 0.3.013 does not start on my PC anymore; to be more exact: The OpenGL GUI window opens, it is still black - before the \"Intro\" background screen is drawn, the client crashes. And \"illeal instruction\" sounds to me like SSE code not supported by my AMD Duron-800 \"Spitfire\".

Bug #1488

[Stronith]

I also have the same error when trying to run the client, or the updator.  

AMD Thunderbird on this machine

Yes, this build was compiled with SSE support. I think we\'ll have to disable SSE if it\'s causing problems with a lot of people.

Try using this tool to unlock SSE on your processor. Some do support it but have it locked for some reason.

Thanks Xordon,

Looks as if that would work fine on an Athlon XP.  I hope I am not out of luck having a T-Bird CPU...

Hi,
if you are experiencing problems like the ones noted above, please try this package. Substitute the exe files with the ones you have in the PS dir. Remember that updater will try to put the former ones back.

PS0.3.013_noSSE2.zip

[Stronith]

I tried that package, Talad and now:

[LigH]

Same here - another exception followed. Are the CS libs SSE-builds as well?

[Xordan]

No they aren\'t afaik.

My machine specs.

AMD Athlon 1 GHz
512 MB Ram
GEForce 2

Yeah, old I know but it matches the posted minimum specs for the game.

I\'m seeing the same crash described above when running either psclient.exe or the updater. I tried the noSSE binaries linked above but I see no change.

Any suggestions?

[LigH]

Yes! That one works!

[Chillindude90]

I\'ve been struggling all day with this, but it works now thanks!!

[strangedays]

This one seems to work for me too. Thanks.

Is this just an AMD problem ? I have been playing for the last 12 hours fine (on and off), but I am now getting ....

Something unexpected happened in Planeshift: Crystal Blue
Details: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0041AC3B

The game gets as far as the login screen and goes through :

Loading Game
Requesting World
Loading World

and then i get the message above. I have tried the .zip files but to no avail.

I am runninmg on :

Pentium M
2.00 Ghz with 1 GB ram.
Nvidea GEforce 6800

Thankyou for any help.

EDIT 1 : I just re-installed, exactly the same  ?(
/me cries

EDIT 2 : Just logged in on my sons email and character, same pc (hope this helps). I have asked a GM if they will move Ekusile, maybe its his location which is messing things up.

[Annon]

I am having the exact same problem.  Running a P4, 2.8 MB machine with a n NVidia card as well.
