Game crash on startup.
« on: January 08, 2008, 03:05:40 am »
Alright. I can run the updater, and setup applications fine. But when I turn on the planeshift game application, I never even see the beginning of the program. It turns on, windowed, completely blank, then shuts down, with an error. Here's my specs.

@Cha0s: I didn't run the updater. But it turned on fine, unlike the planeshift application.

@Caarrie: I tried that. v.v No dice. In fact, I tried it before I posted, just to be sure.

Ms. Caarrie, it's with the specs. I included it. :P Should show everything you need. :)… I think.

if you load the client in terminal or look at console output what do you see?

I don't load the client in terminal, because frankly, it confuses me. I don't get any console output, if I understand what you mean. And then again, I probably don't. Where do I look for how to load it in terminal? Sorry for being ignorant in this area of knowledge.

If it crashes even before you can choose your character.
You can try to load it with Sudo and enter your password.

like:
sudo /Applications/Planeshift3D/psclient.app/Contents/MacOS/psclient_static

I was a normal user before, because of this I made my self a admin even this didn't work, also not
giving me all the permissions available. After playing around I was only able to start it correctly using
sudo. Or login as my first created admin account and from there I can just launch it the normal way.

Run DiskUtility and Fix Permissions. That should make it work on your second admin account. If it doesn't, tell me, and there's something else we can try.
