DBGHELP.DLL not found error!

[picolo999]

The title pretty much explains it all.

When the game is loading I get an error saying DBGHELP.DLL was not found. Then the game crashes.

Please help so I can play the game.

Lots of thanks from Picolo999.

As a file is missing I'm guessing your installation is corrupt. Try reinstalling and or redownloading the game.

[picolo999]

I have tried that and now it loads but then just goes onto a black screen which the only way i can close is to restart my PC.

Can you post your system specs please? :}

[picolo999]

1.0GHz CPU
256Mb RAM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X graphics

I am hoping that VERY VERY soon I can get my PC upgraded to 512Mb of RAM. Fingers crossed lol.

System is okay Have you tried updating the game? Is there an actual "DBGHELP.DLL" file in your PlaneShift folder?

[picolo999]

I have updated the game and now the game loads but i always gets lots of lag then the game crashes, why?

[Karyuu]

Does it crash with any sort of message? Knowing the exact error message it gives you will help in determining what's wrong.

The lag is probably due to your amount of RAM, since the minimum requirements mention having at least 512 - but the server has also been having a few bumps lately which increased lag for everyone a few times.

[picolo999]

no it does not give any type of error message whatsoever.

I'd also suggest you go into the setup and take th settings and bump them down a few notches.  That should reduce some of your lag as well.

The dbghelp.dll error seems to be caused by low ram and/or a borked install, possibly from a borked download.

For tips on minimizing lag, read here.  It is possible to play with 256MB, I've done it.  However your CPU might be a little slow to be able to compensate.  Not sure, give it a shot.
