Have you run the updater (you shouldn't)? Can you post your system specs just in case?

If you ran the updater, you should definitely do a clean install again. We even have an Important stickied thread about this titled **** DON'T RUN THE UDPATER! ****

Talad tried to get the update servers up and running, but as of yet I can't get the thing to work right.  Just ignore the message for now.

When the updater will be fully available, you will see news on the main page.

Maybe a corrupt download? Can you try redownloading the package again, if you haven't tried this already?

I had this problem as well.

  • At the first splash screen, there are those 5 musical notes (duh duh duh duh DUH), and after a fresh reboot, first launch of psclient.exe, it would get up to "duh duh duh duh ", but never get to the last note "DUH".
  • Subsequent launches of  psclient.exe were worse (didn't get to the first "duh").  --- boy, trying to describe music with text sounds dumb :)
  • Disabling sound (as well as the other load/render options in PSetup) didn't make a difference.
  • I tried with and without the .zip patch, no difference.
  • I tried re-installing (without un-installing); no difference.

What finally worked for me was to uninstall Planeshift (Using the option in the PlaneShift Start Menu), then installing, then applying the zip patch.

Good luck!
