Crashing when logging in

[2pacalypse]

Ever since i ran the updater(this morning) the game constantly crashes upon login (either when i press ok at the username/password section or at the char selection screen) or it logs me in, only to make my crash secounds afterwars.i already tried to update again but it claims that my game is up to date. what should i do? Im running Linux SuSE 10.1 with KDE enviorment.

Thank in advance

note:im unsure that its a linux only

*edit*

please can anyone help me with this problem? i really want to start playing but these constant crashes keep halting me

Double/triple posting doesn't make people read your thread any faster. Just edit your last post to add new information. Thanks! --Karyuu

Can you provide more info about the nature of the crash? Run the game in your console (konsole) and paste the output of that window when you crash.

Note

yesterday i uninstalled SuSE due to stability problem and installed Ubuntu. this morning i installed the game but everytime i try to run the game i crash right after the login (just like in the SuSE system) and in when i run it past the terminal get these messages.

these errors are nearly exactly as the SuSE errors so i presume its NOT something with the OS (unless its a missing lib or something)

         Thanks for the help

I can't see anything wrong in your console output. I assume you have updated the game and also graphics drivers.

I am not aware of any crashes because of a specific location in the game right now, but it might be worth posting your character's name here so that a GM could move it to another location. Maybe it helps.

[2pacalypse]

ok. my char name is Hirroyer Rosunes and the GM can pretty much to whatever he likes with it... since its a new char that only made a couple of steps from the starting position. but after reading the console log, i see alot of error like messages such as

Segmentation fault

Could not load texture 'target', using checkerboard instead[node:
  library,textures,texture(name=target)]

Could not open image file '/this/art/effects/target.png' on VFS!

  Could not load texture 'rect_texture1', using checkerboard instead[node:
  library,textures,texture(name=rect_texture1)]

  Could not open image file '/this/art/effects/rect_texture1.png' on VFS

the list goes on....

im pretty sure that its the source of the problem (failure to load a texture or something simular=>Crash) because from my long personal experience games like to crash on every failure

[Karyuu]

A Hammerwielder :} I saw you try to log on just now, but I presume it didn't work again. Moved to another map, maybe it'll let you in.

[2pacalypse]

well. im logged in and so far no crash... ill keep testing for a while and if something will change ill edit this post

p.s.

thanks for the assistance

EDIT:

its still crashes only this time i get a couple of minutes till the game crashes again. while before i had merely secounds,ill keep trying but its seems like its will keep crashing

[Karyuu]

Is it crashing as you're entering a particular map or sector? Or were you still in the DR when it happened?

[2pacalypse]

i havnt existed that area'i was simply walking around it the area you teleported me (the one with rocks and bones all over the place) and in random places it simply crashed.Personally I dout its related to the area since i crash at random places. all the crashes since the teleportation were in the same area,

edit/note:

i have noticed that my crashes are constantly becoming more frequent the more i try to login

[unksi]

Just to make sure it isn't because of faulty hardware; are other applications strangely crashing for you?

[2pacalypse]

Just to make sure it isn't because of faulty hardware; are other applications strangely crashing for you?

well. i have 3 other games which are crashing

1)Battle for Wesnoth- he rarly crashes and I know that its a prob with the software cuz theres other people that crash

2)Warcraft 3 Frozen Thrown- He always gives me a error with something about "couldnt read <Hex code>"

3)World of warcraft- I get alot of error 132 screen (very simular error as the WC3:FT) and simply crash

Note:
I Always had problems playing MMORPG, i played World of warcraft,Anarchy Online,MU online and in all these games i had problems both in Windown and Linux (WoW=>132, AO=>Disconnections(But Rarly),  MU=>Disconnections). I  believe that these probs are from my ISP but i have no proof of it, could it be same thing here?

[Bereror]

Just a random idea. Does it get better if you disable sound in the Planeshift setup?

[2pacalypse]

ok. i disabled sound but i'm still getting crash's

maybe i should check my connectivity to the server (ping the server)? anyone knows the ip?

[Bereror]

laanx.fragnetics.com (210.193.49.103) is the server address.

[2pacalypse]

ok i ran 5 pings to the server and the ms seems reasonable (considering the distance between my computer and the server+the fact my sisters computer is running with heavy download's). heres the results

Code: [Select]

Bytes|       Source      | Seq| Time | Units
64      210.193.49.103    1      782    ms
64      210.193.49.103    2      806    ms
64      210.193.49.103    3      842    ms
64      210.193.49.103    4      744    ms
64      210.193.49.103    5      781    ms
so i presume that conectivity isnt causing the crashes.any idea's on what does cause it?
