Down in the bottom, there are some page links. 1, 2 and 3. Click on the 1. That\'s where the guide is. First post.

[Edit: Oh look, now there are 4.]

Hi, trying to get PS up and running on my machine but am faced with a general \"Application Error\" when running any of of the executables after a seemeingly flauless install...
yup, updater.exe, psclient.exe directly or through the start menu.


Athalon XP2000
Win2000 256 MegRam  Radeon 9600, SB Auidigy...

Is there anyway to get a process dump or log output to track the issue?
Ideas?

You should never feel ashamed about telling us all what the error is. That is usually a huge step in the right direction. Not many conclusions about application errors can be made from your hardware specs. That stuff is usually software related.

Anyway, you can always try reinstalling PS just as a starter, and see if that works. If it does, good. If it doesn\'t, post your software specs, like what Service Pack you\'re using, what DirectX, and so on. Oh, and remember to post what the error says.

ive downloaded Planeshift but when I double click \"Run_Me_First.bat\" a window comes up and then it goes away

[Moogie]

Download the new run_me_first.bat file, found in it\'s stickied thread in the Technical Help forum, and use that instead.

My intallation went very smooth, but I can\'t seem to update. So I said well lets try without updating and it says the server is not active, or it can\'t be reached. What should I do?

[ArcaneFalcon]

First,


You don\'t need to update to play, but it does add some things that come in handy.  If it says the server can\'t be reached then the problem isn\'t with PS but with your connection/setup.  For starters, try putting the IP of the server in the server box before login.  IP for the server is <203.81.47.74>.  If it still doesn\'t work, then your problem may lie in the fact that the game client isn\'t talking with the server.  If you are behind a firewall (any sort of network) then make sure port 13331 is open to UDP traffic in both directions.  If you are still having problems, post some background info about your system, your connection, your setup in general, any messages PS has given you, and any other info that may be relevant.

Ok made some progress but now i\'m link dead. uhh!

[fireofsoul]

if you get it in char creation, try going through it really fast.
if otherwise use the magical search button

I explained very carefully in the guide that you have to skip everything except name and looks. The rest is not implemented, and if you spend more than 30-60 seconds in the character creation, the client goes bugged and it goes linkdead.

now it doesnt say it link dead but it still wont go on

It might not be the right time to discuss MB bugs now when CB is actual but I can stay in char creation for several minutes without going linkdead. But do as Gronomist said, forgia, and create your character as fast as possible. Choose random characteristics, a random quick-creation class, no skills and a random job. If you keep going lindead anyways, no big deal, just wait until Crystal Blue.
