"My game runs fine at startup. The laucher applications starts by itself when I start psclient.exe. I am not sure if this is supposed to happen. When I move to fast ingame the client crashes and the launcher window reopens. This happened 10 times within 10 minutes. I've tried to run the client and the launcher separately and closing the other. I'v etried it as admin and normal user. I tired minimal and medium graphic settings. But it seems the launcher crashes everytime the game loads. And then also the client crashes.
Can anyone help me."

Is this what you were trying to say? Both launcher and client crash everytime you launch them?
Since you are talking about exe's, I assume you are using windows. But which version of windows (XP, vista, 7, 32 or 64 bit?). What is your CPU? What is your graphics card and the driver version? Are there any error messages when the crash occurs?
Can you run the application in the command window with the -console flag and tell us the output?
The more information you can give, the easier it will be to help you. 

And pleeeeeaaaaase use some punctuation. I actually had to rewrite your text to understand it at least half-way.

this is my error report i just notice the CPU number starts at 150 then hits -16 and then crashes my computer, specs are windows 7 home premium,  Intel celeron CPU 900
2.08 ram mobile Intel 4 series chip set family  can i run this i do have, weather enabled, sound and one other does this help? sorry about punctuation im very bad at it.

[Aiwendil]

*suggest to use weltall as translator for the missing punctuation as he has some experience with that. *

Okay, sorry first off....errorlog.txt is useless. Not that sure about window but I think Minks suggestion starting "psclient.exe --console --verbose=-scf" is the only possibility in windows to get some meaningful error logs. Open a terminal (<windows>+<r> -> "cmd"), change to the PlaneShift-install directory with "cd <install-dir>" (I guess something like: cd "Programs and Settings\PlaneShift" (the quotes around "Programs and Settings\<install-dir>" are important for the whitespaces)) and then just type "psclient.exe --console --verbose=-scf". This should give you a terminal with the output of the client. Now copy and paste the whole output...I know this is a bit stupid in window but somehow in the menu of the terminal there is an option for copy and paste.

mobile Intel 4 series chip set family 

Don't get too high hopes...PlaneShift is known to run only very poorly, if at all, on intel gfx chips. Maybe try updating your intel drivers but no clue if that helps.

can i run this i do have, weather enabled, sound and one other does this help?

Options to try in pslaunch:

• Set everything to medium (not low)
  
• Try changing the antialiasing settings to off and if that doesn't help to the lowest number
• Change the settings of VBOs (Vertex Buffer Objects)
• Turn all eye-candy off (weather, blur...)
• Turn the sound off
• Play around with the background loading settings...though I heard those give a lot less problems than in the past nowadays

    i do not have a clue how to make a console window you lost me completely can you write it out step by step id like that allot

ok i got it saved as a text the whole console, now can i copy and paste it all here, i dont see no attach anything

[Aiwendil]

• This window contains the useful output if you are looking for errors (or ask in the forums for help). So always attach the whole output of this window (preferable on a page like http://pastebin.com).
  

So put it on pastebin and a link to your text here....or just use [code][/code] here in the forum and paste the text between.

And after this psclient.exe just closes? Except not being able to find a soundrenderer I don't see anything unusual in those logs. And the missing soundrenderer shouldn't lead to a crash..only to a silent game. Not sure about the Art errors. I think they are "normal". Have you tried repairing already?

In generel pslaunch.exe should start psclient.exe once you hit the "play" button. If psclient.exe crashes for some reason you will just get back to pslaunch.exe. It doesn't really make any difference if you start psclient.exe from the launcher or direct.

So probably just anyother problem with intel gfx cards nobody knows how to fix :/
