Another PS Crash Problem

[Selmir Thrunii]

Hello, I've done a search, browsed, etc, no help found, I've tried several possible solutions I found to no avail.

When I run PS, login, select character, and try to play, the loading screen comes up, and then the infamous Unexpected Quit dialog comes up.

System specs in "About This Mac"
OS: 10.4.8
Processor: 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4
Memory: 1 GB DDR SDRAM

Other specs:
Graphics card, video card, whatever: ATI Mobility Radeon 9550
32 MB VRAM

I hope you can help me, and I hope it isn't crashing because of my specs.

What have you tried? The steps you should take are: DL from the download page or bittorrent. Do not update. Double-click psclient(.app) to play.

[Selmir Thrunii]

I've tried that, it just crashes like I said. I've tried the java updater, and a bunch of other stuff, none of them work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I just tried running the psclient executable with Terminal with the -fullbright option, in case it might be a problem with that, and I got this error:

ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?

If this helps, great!

Cha0s's edit: Posts merged. Please don't double-post. Use the "Modify" feature.

[Cha0s]

What information is displayed in the Version field when you do a Get Info on psclient(.app).

[Selmir Thrunii]

"psclient_static, 0.3.018"

[Cha0s]

Hrmm, right version. Ok. Are you running as an admin? It could be a permissions problem. Also, did you copy any settings files from a previous version? This could also create a problem.

[Selmir Thrunii]

I'm not playing it as an admin, and I'm running a new version, no data copied from any previous versions.

[Cha0s]

Try it as an admin, as there may be some permissions issues.

[Selmir Thrunii]

It still crashes. (I gave my user admin rights temporarily and tried PS again)

P.S: About double-posting, I don't normally double-post, and I do normally use the modify/edit option. Unless it's only just after I posted something however, people don't always see the extra stuff added to the post because AFAIK it doesn't have a bumping effect on the thread.

[Selmir Thrunii]

Sorry for double posting again, but I've been waiting for a while for my "Little Help Here". If you can help, it'd be nice if you did.

[Cha0s]

I really don't know what to say. I've tried everything I know. The only other thing I can think of is the skin. Open psclient.cfg (it's in your Planeshift folder) and then find this line:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Selected =
There'll be something after the equals. If it isn't already, change it to "elves" like so:
Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Selected = elves
If that doesn't help, try reinstalling from scratch. I'm stumped, though.

I've the same problem. But it should work if you run it from the terminal. That worked for me.

[Selmir Thrunii]

I just tried that, and I got the same error that I got when I tried to run it with fullbright on:

ERROR: csInitializer::SetupConfigManager failed!
Is your CRYSTAL environment variable set?

Do you know anything about this environment variable?

[Cha0s]

Hrmm... Can you do a Get Info on the file called vfs.cfg in your Planeshift folder and tell me the date modified and the data created? Thanks!
