Strange problem: crash on server connect and missing user folder

[Raikana]

I've tried to install many times PS getting always the same problem: it crash on server connect. Seems that the problem is connected with the fact that the user folder is unfindable!    It's not in the Documentsandsettings/user/ folder, or at least i do not find it!
By the way: my drivers are updated, i'm running windows XP on an EEPC notebook.
This is the error i get in the errorlog file:

Please, help me! I would really like to come back to play sometimes!

Hello Raikana.
EEEpc, what model number?

[Jilata]

hm... I do get those messages as well (running on linux though) and the launcher/client still runs. At least the 0.5.8 version. I am too lazy to update again...

[LigH]

The quick access variable to your user folder is %APPDATA% (enter that in your "Run..." dialog; the canonical location may vary by your Windows version, might contain a "Roaming" part under Vista/7, or a "Hidden" branch in the directory).

[Raikana]

First of all.... thanks for your help! I don't like to ask for assistance for this kind of trouble but... when it's needed it's needed! So, lets go in order:

@Boeven:
Hey dude! So long! How are you?    Well... here are more info about my system:
System
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Producer
ASUS
EeePC
Intel(R) Atom(TM)
CPU N450 @ 1.66Ghz
1.67 Ghz 0.99 GB RAM

@Jilata:
Hey Jilata! Nice to see you!
Unfortunately the launcher and the client both are crashing, every time! I got a huge error from Windows.... too long to transcribe it here (yes, it's impossible to "copy" the error to the clipboard! How can't you love Windows for this sort of things? ). The first part is:

Ecception information:
code: 0xc0000005
flags: 0x00000000
record: 0x0000000000000000
address: 0x0000000000000000

System information:
Windows NT 5.1 BUILD 2600

[etc, etc, etc....]

@LigH:
Hey there! How is going the eldest journalist in Yliakum? 
About %APPDATA%.... Yeah! Thanks! There it is... hidden from me! I cannot access directly to that directory from file manager...  . Anyway, at least, that is not a problem anymore.

------------

I'm starting to think that my PC cannot run it... anyone is using the same model of mine? Some one got it working on an EeePC?

[BoevenF]

I'm fine thanks 
Assuming it's a 100x series, I do have a similar machine and I cannot run PS with that after Arcane Chrysalis release, even with 2GB RAM, because of the Intel integrated graphics chipset.
Plus, 1GB RAM it's really not recommended for the actual release.
error code 0x05 usually refers to bad RAM or bad drivers.
You could try to update Intel graphics drivers as last resort, *if* there are updated drivers for your Asus model. Prepare yourself, I believe their servers are located on the moon judging by their downloading speed.
But I don't think this will solve the problem.

[weltall]

try searching render manager in the config files and replacing unshadowed with rlcompat it should work with those video cards

[Raikana]

I replaced unshadowed with rlcompact but it still craches in the same place of before, while connecting to server.
Anyway... i just installed planeshift to another computer in which I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 and... i got problems rendering the images (probably the drivers are not working ... i hope...) and i ca't see nothing but a "black and white" shadow of everything!  At least i can enter the game now (but i can't see anything but shadows).

So... on that machine i'm using an ATI RADEON HD 2500. Is there a known issue about that card and PS or is just a drivers problem that can be solved?

EDIT: Solved! I just needed to install the new Catallyst Drivers from the AMD site. Anyway now i got another problem... the CPU get over-heaten and the PC turns off by itself! but... at least i can enter the game and play for some minutes!

[Madoring]

I am crashing when logging into the server too same type of problem.
