Instant Crash

[zifter]

Sorry if this has been posted before, I've done some looking and couldn't find an open thread.

My psclient crashes on startup, I dont get to see any login screen or anything.
I've run all of the updates on pslauncher and downloaded the client several time from several locations, I get exactly the same problem.

Im running it on my macbook alum.  (Leopard OSX 10.5.
Im also running on adminsitrator and have double checked the read/write permissions on every file.

Thanks,

Zifter

yup, I downloaded the torrent and I have the correct drivers and my mac is fully updated (apart from snow leopard). Still crashes.

Try looking at http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36455.msg415024#msg415024 and doing what is mentioned under the Get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error when starting the game... portion. Since I have made that change my client starts first time every time. Of course I realize now that I have said this I'll probably start having crash on start up problems again

No Dice :/

I believe for Mac client the config file appears in two places. In the application folder and in the library/applicationsupport/planeshift folder.  For me just changing it in the application folder did the trick but I know people who changed it in both locations.

[zifter]

I dont have a Planeshift folder in Library/Application Support.

My psclient crashes as soon as I click the button :/

[Sarva]

You want  user/library/applicationsupport/planeshift It isn't in the library/applicationsupport that is under the hard drive.

[weltall]

the user folder Planeshift.cfg overrides psclient.cfg so if you have conflicting preferences Planeshift.cfg would win. also xordan says it's configurable from pslaunch altough i've no idea were (i try to stay away from it as i've a config which seems to work )

Thanks, I found the file and changed it.
But, I still get the instant crash.

Try deleting the entire .planeshift directory, the one that contains config, logs and shadercache.

If this fails then please get error output and paste it here in code tags. Getting output is explained near the top of the Mac OSX board.

Thanks for the reply, but i'm not too sure where the .planeshift directory is.

[Idoru]

Run pslaunch, go to options in pslaunch and choose a skin from the list.

Mounting skin: /this/art/skins/.zip

this is your issue i would think

If that fails:

Your configuration files are in... /Users/Aakash/Library/Application Support/PlaneShift

Please delete this directory, possibly reinstall PS if that alone does not work,
