Pre-release of PlaneShift 0.5 and ChangeLog

[zarre]

Had the same problem as you did, Koios and this is what worked for me.

Navigate to the PlaneShift folder. Click on settings. Click on pslaunch.exe.
Change graphic quality from custom to medium. Set screen resolution to 1024x768

Use elves for the Current Skin. Click on Graphics at the top of the page. In Texture Quality change from high to medium.

Click OK, then Quit. In the PS folder click on psclient.exe to start the game.

You can always bump up the graphics and textures later.

I had to have 800x600, small screen on these Eee so with 1024x768 the buttons on the PS Launcher was below the screen and wouldn't work. I had all graphics at the lowest possible and it still was horrible to play. As I said, turning around in the Plaza would result in Blue Screen.

blue screen means your video card drivers are broken. try upgrading them. plus xp is an old operating system.

- In the description window there will no be an editable part of your description, and a fixed description with the info from character creation.

 
Am I reading this correctly? We will be unable to write a personal description of what other characters see when looking at us and will be unable to erase things that would otherwise be unknown to characters unless it was discussed in RP.

it's a separate tab which has your char life events according to faction and selection of the char creation and those two parts can't be edited plus you can add things among these two. it's visible only to gm/dev or who uses nature intuition

I do believe there's a typo, *now not no.

It's hard to find any. Yliakum has an aura that keeps making me comeback every Christmas. I've played other games, they are nice, but each to it's own. PS is unique.
Hydlaa, with it's background music, and the dark lighting...
Not sure why, but 0.5 looks much better than SB.

[Bonifarzia]

The very few times I actually got into the game, opening a window or even turning around too quick resulted in the mighty Blue Screen of Death every time.

Same problem here, Koios. Upgrading to the latest drivers available for this chipset won't help, I guess you already tried that. My only hope to get the prerelease to run with this graphics card is to try a client with the rlcompat shadow manager. I have never tried to compile a client and still hope for someone else to experiment with this.

usually i get back, I get even more disappointed with the lack of progress the game has made the last year and thus leave again out of boredom.
Not good. Seems this new version with exiting new features managed to exclude me from playing it alltogether. Too bad, cause the game has potential.

Wake me up when there's a version i can actually play. No biggie though, i bet noone will ever use windows 7 as operating platform .... oh wait, they do

[weltall]

windows 7 works perfectly many of the staff use and test on it. i've windows 7 as secondary operating system and it works perfectly with ps 32 and 64bit.

PlaneShift 0.5 RC2 runs fine on Windows 7 as long as you run pslaunch.exe as administrator.

isn't that kind of pointless if most players never use the cc life events in their character's history? the life events are way too specific, so no one uses them in rp. at least i don't. makes for a very non-unique character.
