0.4.00 psclient.exe on XP does nothing

[Nezic]

Well I got it to work..

I tried right-cicking and using "Run As..." with Administrator rather than my user name, and it launched with no problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug, as my normal user account is definately shown as "Computer administrator" under Control Panel-->User Accounts, and I've never seen this kind of behavior before with any other program.

After running pssetup and psclient, I also noticed that the settings for PlaneShift were located in:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.NAAR\Application Data\..."

with 'NAAR' being my computer's name.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me while I figured this out.

eh what xp do you have i don't have anything like that on my system

eh what xp do you have i don't have anything like that on my system

That would have to be vista not XP

[Elvicat]

funny enough... it's there and i've never noticed this before but it's actually there, must have come with some update i guess

If you run the updater (as admin) it will download a fixed client which solves the admin problem. I've mentioned this many times before but people don't seem to be spreading the word too well

ehem talking windows xp here not vista, and from what i know that thing must have come with some resent update as it hasn't been there before

Just to check, I uninstalled and reinstalled Plane Shift again and ran the updater as Administrator before doing anything else.  Unfortunately, nothing changed. I guess that solution is only to fix a Vista problem, as Elvicat mentioned.

I can still get Plane Shift to work by using the Run As... solution, but it's really annoying to have to do this every time on XP.


As a side-note that has nothing to do with this issue, I noticed that an empty file pssetup.cfg was created a directory up from where I would expect:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.NAAR\Application Data\pssetup.cfg  (and not in the PlaneShift directory)

The other .cfg was in the correct location (not counting the user name problem):

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.NAAR\Application Data\PlaneShift\planeshift.cfg

I have the same problem here. Planeshift (or maybe CS) is not running in my normal account on an XP SP2 machine.

After creating a new dummy-user all runs smooth. By the way, its not a question of access rights. It works fine for ANY other user.
All CS applications coming with the planeshift binaries fail to start. The updater runs in console-mode (is this standard now?)

I ran FMon while starting pssetup in both user environments and could not find any larger differences - except of the point,
that pssetup reads old CrystalSpace directories in my user folder - but deleting them does not help (and also the tree was
parsed but no file was read). It looks more like a CS problem to me, but I don't have any clue at the moment.

Is there a way to get better debugging output Previous versions wrote a lot to the console.
