Game crashes at entry to the world.

[Blackwinter]

I looked around for a fix. I read some things close, but did not include what my error log states.

Finished the tutorial. Went to game world... crash.

Error log reads:

Updater version 5 for Win32 doesn't catch anything missing.

System in my sig.

Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation concerning this matter.

Already did that.

My apologies for not mentioning this.

However, if that were the problem I should not have been able to complete the tutorial, correct?

In this thread, http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32557.0
it mentions turning off Vertex Buffer Object, as well as sound.

After doing as they suggest my error log nowreads a such:

No it just means you dont have the most up to date art and client. also your console output there tells us nothing as to why you crashed, it is a normal message.

Well that just sucks.

Caarrie, I want to thank you for taking a look, here.

I have modified my previos post, with yet another tried fix....no luck.

[Elvicat]

try this
add CheckIntegrity to the end of psupdater.exe with this it checks that all your files are ok

[Blackwinter]

try this
add CheckIntegrity to the end of psupdater.exe with this it checks that all your files are ok

When I add just "CheckIntegrity" the updater says "Line 6 is missing '='".

So I improvised and put an '=' in there. ( = CheckIntegrity )

Got "Missing key name <before '='> on line 6 of /this/psupdater.cfg"

so I, improvising again, put a '6' before the '='. just to see what would happen.

As you could probably guess, I get "Failed to remove file /this/updater.log"

To clarify where I am when it crashes, and screen goes black:

I can briefly see an 'ampitheater' or maybe a central park, or something of that nature. I am to assume that is where one goes directly after finishing the tutorial.

I'm facing the very same problem here, but I'm using openSUSE 11 x86_64, I tried up to 2 times before post here, I had my character changed and nothing. I'll keep Trying here, if I get some sucess I'll post

[webbruno]

I DID IT!!!! Well, at least here is working, besides I don't know if it'll working, I just unmarked the option "preload models" on the pssetup and it's working fine forme  now, you don't know what I did before get this  . See you!!

[Dreamcrafter]

I have this exact same problem.  I have no idea what "add CheckIntegrity to the end of psupdater.exe" means.  I went through the tutorial just fine, and now I cannot load the game.  Each time, it crashes.

EDIT:  Okay, nevermind.  Turning off the vertex thing seems to have fixed it!
