.5 Xp issues
« on: December 12, 2009, 08:34:32 am »
Ok so I tried running on ubuntu 9.10 and that epically failed so now I have tried windows xp..

After fighting with my audio and my display I have updated drivers..

I can not find the "update" icon or even file for planeshift, I dont know if im supposed to down load it seperatly or what and also I cant even get planeshift running.

I click on the icon and a black screen flashes and then nothing.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I have been trying to get planeshift running for over 12 hours now with no luck

Hello

Best thing you can do is to open a command line and then cd to the planeshift installation directory to run then pslaunch.exe  and/or psclient.exe. After that post the output that these commands give to the console.

pslaunch.exe should work, Strange that you get no crash and that it just closes, try going to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and asking for help  :detective:

Strange for me also, if i use other than 4:3 ratio and higher resolutions it crashes.

Mod.: after i changed quality setting from medium to highest is does nt crash at other aspect ratios and resolutions.

Uhm heh  
So i got the c++ update and installed it and on the http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36455.0 post it says the acces violation only happes thrice and then you should be playing but my pc just gave me a black screen and then nothin and no matter how many times i try when i get the black screen it never runs PS

so i checked my error log and it says " Failed to load skin /this/art/skins/default! " i know this is an old issue and i know you change the default skin to elves so i access the psclient.cfg file with notepad and changed " Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Dir = /this/art/skins/ " to " Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Dir = /this/art/skins/elves " i don't think my changes are correct? because now i get this in my error log " Failed to load skin /this/art/skins/elvesdefault! "

please help

you don't have to change the skin dir but the skin PlaneShift.GUI.Skin.Selected = elves

Hello

Either change it also in %APPDATA%\PlaneShift\planeshift.cfg or simply delete that Planeshift directory (be aware though that screenshots and logs are there, too)
