im patient enough to wait that long...weird

PS Version 1.0 will play just fine on the Quantum Neural Net computers that everyone will have when it comes around.

@ Xillix and all:

The minimum requirements can be lower again, after fixing certain bugs in the shader fallback logic and the stability.

The CrystalSpace engine is able to be more downward compatible. If we just had more developers who understand the science of shader programming.

Yah, could do with another two people who are apt in graphics programming.

That is strange what you said Xillix my PC would easily pass minimum requirements for 0.5. That is why im still puzzled about why i cant play. And its not just mine that cant my parents laptop cant and its specs are pritty average for a normal laptop. I guess its just my touch

Try to get on irc and go through step by step to get it running

I am sure there is some error in your process.

You should not miss to explicitly set up all options before starting to play.

For example, if you already tried the beta test version, you may not have set the "elves" skin, and in this case the client simply quits, without any obvious warning. The solution was as simple as: Select the "elves" skin.

I'll go on IRC in a few days im about to go away. Its not the elves skin. Everything works but all i get is all tabs, and my torso, but the rest of the screen is black, sometimes i can see outlines of hills and see trees and npcs thats about it.

Vakachehk: It won't work on the parent's laptop because the CPU seems to be in failure mode, leading to extensive freeze crashing. PS itself probably won't work as it's an ATI GPU (I think)...

Won't work on the other PC because the motherboard on that one is ancient, and while the GPU has nice stats, it's just not compatible with updates. That said, PS opens, and maybe after a while whatever bug/issue causes the blackening of everything might be fixed.

It's a new release, and new releases -always- have new issues and bugs. Look at Vista.... it was terrible. As it is now, as Windows 7 (Vista2) it's much better, after years of work.... and that's on a non-volunteer team.
