Error message when connecting...
« on: April 29, 2007, 12:19:34 pm »
Okay, I installed the correct version of Planeshift, and everything was working fine until i got to select a character to play on, and try to connect. This is the message i get:
Something unexpected has happened in Planeshift: Crystal Blue
Details: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 691E69C9
Would you like to save a diagnostic file?
Yes No

What does this mean? If i click yes, I get:
Saved dump file to the (folder and stuff, can't be bothered to type it out)
Please consult Planeshift fourms for more details.

Once I click off or okay on that message, the Planeshift client freezes, causing me to shut it down.

...so here I am!
Help?

Does this happen with every character you create, or just one? And have you tried reinstalling the game?

Tried re-installing several times.
Have had no luck, but have only created one character, but I doubt its that to be honest. =/

Perhaps all you need is to turn on Vertex Buffer in pssetup.exe :]

Run pssetup.exe from your PS install directory, and turn on Vertex Buffer ;)

Wherever you installed PlaneShift :) By default, this should be C:\Program Files\PlaneShift Crystal Blue.

Look in that folder and find the file pssetup.exe - run it, then make sure Vertex Buffer is on:
