trouble to come further than "initialize world" (2nd time the game is

[Anachronist]

Hy,

after all my problems in the last tread vanished cause of a complete and new download I do have a new one :)

Whenever I start the game i do only come to the point at which the world is initialized. I read the tech-forum and found a tread about the topic, started the game and went to training for two hours...it worked :)

The problem is, that the next time i did start the game it takes several minutes to log in again.  I gave up after five minutes of waiting to be honest.

I will just go and try it again and hope, that my comp will do what it did everytime somthing went wrong...it start to work at the exact moment i`m close at the edge of a nervouse breakdown and willing to give up :) (Yes...i use a wndows-machine :)) )
If somebody has a better idea of what to do, i will be gratefull ;)

PS: I changed my graphic configurations at the setup file. May it be, that the long waiting time has something to do with it?

If you set the client to a higher resolution and colourdepth, it may be that your computer can no longer handle it and is struggling. Set the graphics options back to what they were and try loading again. Does the game load any faster?

If doing this doesn\'t work, the only other thing I can think of is reinstalling PS. Sorry

(I would have answered this days earlier, but I was hoping someone would make more sense of the post than I did. No offense to you Anachronist, I know your English isn\'t good, which is why I had some trouble discerning exactly what the problem is. But I think I understand now. )

i had this problem 3 months ago.  then i stopped trying just hoping that the programmers might fix this game, but after 2 months of waiting you still have this problem!

after two nights of trying to get ps to work i FINALLY have it workin\' on the third night ...
forget what people are saying about having too old or slow of a system for this game to work .
my sys info is as follows :
450 MHZ pentium III
128 RAM
win 98
NVIDIA TNT
cable broadband

so as you might see , i\'m runnin\' alot older of a machine than most of these other gamerz.
to fix the problem ... i simply let windows manage my virtual memory . i assume that this game in it\'s current stages require a massive amount of memory.the game would shut down after 3 minutes after the game says \"intializing world\" when i had my virtual memory set at 256 [double my ram] ... after i had set windows to manage the memory ... no problems, the game started in four minutes after connection
if you don\'t know how to set your virtual memory settings under windows ... simply right-click \"my computer\",click on the \"performance\" tab ,and then click on \"virtual memory\" there ya go ...
i hope that this might help someone really lookin\' forward to playing this game ... i know i was ... see ya on the other side
