Help Me!!!
« on: February 01, 2007, 10:29:44 pm »
Okay...  I have installed the client (Windows), and I have installed the game.  How do I connect to the real game?  I cannot find out how!  I cannot find detailed enough instructions on how to actually login to the server... please, help me!  :@#\

If after installing the game you cannot find a shortcut to "PlaneShift Crystal Blue" on your desktop, click your Start button and look at the list of programs. Alternatively, browse to C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue and double-click on psclient.exe - this will start up the application.

Where is it you're stuck on? When you say "login to the server" do you mean you can't get passed the login window (where it asks for email and password), or that you can't actually open the game (psclient.exe)

Erm... how do you update?
Also, I cannot find out where it says "login to server"
I have registered.
I will try Karyuu's method now.

UPDATE
I tried your method, Karyuu, I cannot find it on my start menu either.

Search your system for a file called psclient.exe, in that case :] If you cannot find it, then chances are you didn't really install it.

What you did was download the BitTorrent client, and then PlaneShift's torrent file. What you need to do now is to wait for the actual game to download - this can take several hours, and you will see the progress in the BitTorrent client. If you're not familiar with torrents and this seems like too much to figure out, you can just use the Mirrors on the download page to get the actual install file to the game.

Ohh... thank you. Thank you very much.  Er... will it take several hours on a fast comp?

It doesn't depend on the computers' speed, but on the speed of your Internet connection ;)
