In the FAQ of technical problems we can read :
\"
1. My game locks up when I connect. It just says \"Initializing world\" but Windows says it is not responding!
This is ok. On some machines, Planeshift believes it needs to recalculate the lighting, which can take up to 2 hours the first time you run. If you let it run to completion, it will load quickly every time after that.
\"
But on my computer It do the same again and again. The game works, no memory problem , but I have to wait at least 30minutes each time I launch the game. Can it be a Win 2K problem?
