Hiya,

Check that you have the most recent drivers for your graphics card first, then post back here with your computer specs (processor, RAM, video card) if the problem remains.

Ack, that card is unfortunately notorious for problems with PlaneShift, due to its lack of OpenGL. S3 Savages also usually have only 16-32MB of RAM to work with, and that's quite below the minimum requirements.

Sorry about that. You'll be much better off with a stronger graphics card in your system.
