Post all available information.  We're not psychic; we need all the information we can get to help you.  Example post:

Operating System:  Windows XP SP2
Processor:  Intel P4 2.66 Ghz
Graphics Card:  ATI Radeon Mobility 7500
System Memory:  1 GB
Video Memory:  16 MB

I just downloaded the game, and ran the updater.  The game <insert problem here>.  I tried <whatever you did>, and <whatever results you got>.  Please help me.  Thanks.

Please note that if you graphics card has "shared" memory, you must state so.  The "shared" RAM is very slow, and takes away from the main system.  This setup is generally on the bad, cheap, onboard cards; the good cheap onboard cards don't even do that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Primarily, what graphics card are you using, and how much RAM does it have?  And also, what is the driver version it is running on?  It seems, that you either don't have a video card (using onboard chipset), it is too old and can't support 3d OpenGL, or the drivers you are using for the card are out of date.

Intel Celeron D turbo - 2,8 ghz
512mb RAM
2 x 80 gb hard disk
ATI radeon 9250, (128mb)
broadband internet

p.s. my vid card is an AGP, so that could be the problem.

What operating system?

[Flamable]

Microsoft windows XP PRO service pack 2

reinstall the motherboard drivers, something is whacky as that picture clearly shows your running in software mode instead of 3d mode, maybe even then graphics drivers need a reinstall to but my bet is the motherboard drivers

Looks to me like the broken texture compression bug.  Usually this is most prevalant on the OSX but I've seen a few people with it on windows too.  First open your planeshift directory which is usually C:\PlaneShift Crystal Blue  - inside that directory is a folder called data.  Browse to it.  Inside data is a folder called config.  Open the config folder and look for the file:

r3dopengl.cfg

Now open that file in notepad.  Look for this line:

Code: [Select]

;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false
and change it to

Code: [Select]

Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false
note that the difference between the two lines is the ; at the front.  a ; at the beginning of a line means its commented out.  Commented out lines are ignored in config files so removing it activates the tag.  This will turn off texture compression which might help out.  Also check out the page:

and try some of the other fixes.

If nothing still works, try this page to manually troubleshoot the issue - this is a bit tricky though:

Good luck!

any other suggestions?

p.s. im dutch: ja is yes, nee is no

If you got a crash after turning off texture compression my guess is something is amis in that file - are you sure you didn't modify it incorrectly?  That could cause such a crash.

i've tried to start the game again now, it worked one time, but i had the same effect.
everything is another colour, and it will move in shocks (exact every second it moves once)

I have the same graphics issue. The thing is, it only happened recently. Tried the tips above, the didn't help. Tried reinstalling graphics drivers, didn't help either. I did the log, and it seemed to have issues starting with failing to find the GL extensions. Mean anything to anyone?

*edit*

I also thought I'd post a link to my log file. Hope it means something to someone!
