Game Loading Problems
« on: November 21, 2003, 08:09:50 pm »
Hi,

I have installed Planeshift and I can create my character and start loading but when it loads the window just disappers or crashes. When I load the game it say that there is no 3d accelarator card but i have a GeForce 2.

Please help!

Do a search for similar problems to yours. I can assure you that no matter what you\'re experiencing, it\'s been answered at least 100 times before. :P

Besides, you\'re the only one who knows your system specs, so you\'re the best qualified out of anyone here to find the correct solution. :)

Of course, we\'re always ready to help those who can\'t be bothered to do that. So, if you would post your system specs for us, we\'ll see if we can help you.

Hi,

Do I need OpenGl to run the game?

Not if you use software mode instead, no.

Hi Godatum,

You should give your system specifications, without them we\'re unable to help you any further. How much memory, which OS and so on, like asked in the sticky threads on this forum.

You need OpenGL, yes. Don\'t try the software mode, you will be very disappointed and it doesn\'t do justice to the game\'s graphics. I would advise you to check on the nvidia site for up-to-date drivers : http://www.nvidia.com.

About your system : be sure to have enough memory, this program can eat up to 300 MB of memory, maybe more. If you don\'t have that much, be sure the virtual memory is large enough. Rely on the help of your OS for that part.

Good luck !

Definatly sounds to me you should update your drivers, as Cad said.  Also, 128MB of RAM is far too little for this day and age, that definatly needs to be upgraded soon.
