Run Time Error's

–--Run-Time Errors----

=Run-Time Error 5

This is a nuisance bug. Sometimes it occurs but is not consistently repeatable. Usually, it goes away if you just re-open the client and try to connect again. Sometimes it takes several tries. It seems to happen periodically and then it disappears. For me, it happened the ifrst time I tried to login everytime for a month or so, then it stopped. The cause of this is unknown.

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

=Run-Time Error 7- Out of Memory

This has NOTHING to do with too many applications running or not enough RAM on your PC. It is a Windows XP only problem. From what was said before, Miscrosoft does not always fully explain the differences between all the OS. This seems to be fall out from that.

**Warning: Do not do this unless you are knowledgeable about installing an OS. If you do it wrong, you will erase all your files. ALso, this bug works the majority of the time. It worked for me 3 out of 3 times, but it does not work for everyone. If it does not work for you, then there is no known fix for you**

This is most often easily fixed it easily by re-running the Windows XP setup disk in upgrade mode. It does not erase any files in repair mode. DO NOT RUN IT IN NEW INSTALLATION MODE OR YOU WILL ERASE ALL YOUR FILES.

How to do this.

1) Place the Windows XP setup diosk in the drive while the PC is already running Windows XP. A welcome screen appears.
2) Click Install Windows XP
3) Choose "Upgrade (Recommended)" This will not damage any files
4) Continue to follow the on screen instructions. Each PC is different so I can not give you anymore details from here on out, but it is straight forward.

If this fails to work, then your only option is to install another Operating System. Otherwise, you will not be able to play on any Playerworlds

Update: A player has noticed that if you register every dll file in the folder, that it fixes the error. Three other players that he had try it reported success.

=Run-Time Error 9- Script Out of Range

This is a nuisance bug. Sometimes it occurs but is not consistently repeatable. Usually, it goes away if you just re-open the client and try to connect again. Sometimes it takes several tries. The cause of this is unknown.

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

=Run-Time Error 13- no data.ini

This is goof on your part. It is not a real bug. It happens most often when a client update is downloaded and not placed in the same folder as the file data.ini. By default, it should go into "C:\Program Files\Elysium Software\client\" Just place the .exe file in the same folder as your data.ini file and you are ready to go.

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

=Run-Time Error 16:

This error is caused by your screen settings for color being set to high. This may be related to your graphics card's limitations. To fix it, right click on your desktop, choose properties, and then settings. Next, set the color setting to a lower one such as High Color-16 bit.

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

=Run-Time Error 53- Can not find Tiles.Bmp

This error is caused by your server owner not taking into account the graphics limit for Windows 98\. The graphics they distribute are too large to work with Windows 98\. This happens on Windows 98 computers & Windows ME only as far as I know. They fix is quick and easy.

~ Open tiles.bmp in the GFX folder, which is located in your main Client folder.

~ Make sure it opens in Paint. If it does not open in Paint automatically, right click on tiles.bmp and click Edit. If that doesnt work, then right click tiles.bmp and go into the Open With... submenu, and if paint is in there, click it, if it isnt, click Choose Program... and click browse, then go to "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and double click on the "mspaint" icon. Then click ok.

~ Once in Paint, click Image (ALT+I), Then click Attributes. OR you can just hold control and hit E when you open paint.

~ Once in the Attributes menu, edit it to look like the following:

Width- 224
Height- 9728
Units- Pixels
Colors- Colors

~ Then click OK

~ Then click File, Then click Save. OR hold control and hit S.

If this doesn't work, just try messing with the numbers untill its fixed.

=Run-Time Error 76- Path Not Found

I do not believe that this is a common bug

This seems to reference the GUI.bmp most often. Make sure that the file is in your GFX (graphics) folder. By default, the path is C:\Program Files\Elysium Software\client\GFX. IF it is then proceed to the next step. All you have to do is re-unzip your Elysium file. It is best if you rename your old folder where the client is. This will give you a fresh slate. After the re-installation is complete and it works, you can simply delete the old client folder that you renamed

----Chat Bugs---

=You can send PMs but you can not read PMs that people send you

This is a quick and easy fix. Go into your client folder. By default it is "C:\Program Files\Elysiun Software\client\". Delete the file ignore.txt. This is a file that is used to store players that you wish to no longer receive PMs from. Occasionally something goofs this file. The client will remake this file from scratch which will fix your problem.

----Security Bugs----

=You have either entered the wrong password, or are trying to access this account from a computer that is not on this account safe list

Two possible reasons for this:

1) You forgot your password.

Make sure that caps lock is off. Try again. Then contact your server administrator

2) You are accessing the Player Worlds program from a computer that is not on you safe list. This is caused my being on a computer that is different that the one where you created your account. It may also occur when you install a new operating system.

In the case of a new operating system, there is nothing you can do to fix this yourself. Contact you server administrator so that he/she may reset your safe list. You are on a computer other than the one you created the account on. Go back to that computer and login. Click the security icon on the main playing window. Turn security off. This will allow you to connect from a different computer. Go to the other computer. Log in. Then click the security icon. Click "add this computer". You may now turn security back on. From this point on, you will be able to connect from both computers. If this does not work, then you will need to contact your server administrator so that he/she may reset you safe list. It is HIGHLY advisable that security be left on. Only turn it off for brief periods when you are installing a new operating system or will be using a different computer that is not on your safe list.

----Misc Bugs----

=Text is misplaced on the client- Text Size Error

The simplest way to understand this bug is to look at the website below. Basically, the text is not placed over the buttons correctly. This makes it very difficult if not impossible to use the buttons.

It turns out that this error is very easy to fix. If the menus look weird and some options are cut off, right-click the desktop, click 'Properties', go to the 'Settings' tab, click 'Advanced', and from the font size dropdown, choose 'Small'

=Client Gets Stuck at "Connected: Sending Login Info

1) If this happens more than three times in a row, it simply means the server is down or experiencing heavy lag. The message that states that the server si down does not always appear. Try back later.

2) You are behind a firewall. Read the help from another user

"I had a user having trouble connecting to my server and receiving the above message (Client/Server). It turns out that the problem was that he was behind a router/firewall at home and had to have the firewall configured to forward port *Port* (the game's port) to his IP on the local network. We tried creating new accounts, etc., but nothing I did at the server end made any difference, but this solved the problem immediately."- sarax
