Can't start Planeshift
« on: April 12, 2008, 09:04:46 pm »
When I try to start planeshift I get the following:

Missing `=' on line 187 of /this/psclient.cfg
Your configuration files are in... /home/syth/.PlaneShift
DEBUG: Sound System Software Renderer Initializing...
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

and I'm just left with a black screen. any ideas?

ok well a reinstall and a restart seemed to fix that issue. Now I get severe flickering on the login screen...I can loosely navigate around the login and character creation but it's not really playable. any help?

Well for one its likely on the low end of even being able to run PS particularly well with decent settings turned up.  Intel cards aren't really gamer cards, if you want to get into very many games you need a real video card.  OTOH what you are experiencing is a bug in Mesa implementation of opengl so thats not really your fault.  You should at least be able to get ingame to discover how slow the card is ;)  Should be fixed in the new release of most distro's as they include new xorg and mesa that should work better.  Ubuntu Hardy Heron is out so that upgrade alone might fix it.
