Trouble launching the game - ver 0.5.1

[s_p]

I have played the game on this particular machine until a few days ago, until after an update which reverted some of my files back to 0.4... version.

I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling the 0.5.0 version, since then the game crashes after I hit 'play' in the launcher (it returns to the launcher).
I uninstalled the game again, deleted all the remaining folders in the planeshift installation folder and downloaded the 0.5.1 version. Then installed the 0.5.1 version and updated it successfully. If I run the --console function, it says everything's up to date.
It still crashed after I hit play in the launcher, and comes back to the launcher.
The only thing I could find anywhere about crashes during launching, and haven't tried yet, is removing the 'shadercache' directory (it says in the launcher to try this), because I can't find such a directory in the game folder.

Please help me...

I'm running Vista on a laptop, I know they're not the best machines to run on, but it worked before...

Any suggestions?

try lettin it update to 5.1.1 first of it, it works wayyyyyy better for me then .5.1

[s_p]

I have updated it after installing the 0.5.1 fresh, so I think I have 0.5.1.1 already but not sure. How do I check?
If not, how otherwise do I get the 0.5.1.1?

Also, this is the error log from my last attempt to launch:

if the problem is the play button then just run the client directly, go into the plainshift folder, and there is a thing for pslaunch and psclient the pscliant skips pslaunch and loads the game

[s_p]

Tried that too. It crashed just the same. I uninstalled it again and removed the installation folder completely. Then installed the 0.5.1 version I have. I'm now updating the client again. I doubt it'll do any good though, as it's just what I had done before.
Anyway, after it's done, I'll try that too.
How can I check if I'm running the 0.5.1.1 version after the update?
Where do I find the shadercache directory?

Any other suggestions?

Please help...
Thanks

Apparently I guess it was as simple as selecting a skin in the launcher. I picked 'elves' (only option) and it loaded fine.

Cheers

for one lol
for two hope to see you around
and for 3 if the game is off full screen mode, when the game is loading, for me at least, at the left it says plane shift then 0.5.1.1
