[edit] Known solutions to keep bugs away

  • Do not use any spaces in the game directory (Like "C:\Planets 4")
    • Best is to use the default directory C:\Planets4. Something like C:\Games\Planets4 is safe, too.
  • Make sure the directory C:\Temp exists, if not create it. Make sure you have read, write and deletion permission on this folder.
  • Make sure you also have a Temp directory in the main planets dir, like C:\Planets4\temp Make sure you have read, write and deletion permission on this folder.
  • If you want to use another drive as temp drive add the lines 
 TempDrive = Driveletter (e.g. TempDrive = Z )to your .fig file. (works for host.exe only)
  • Install the latest version of the game package and updates that may not be included from the official Planets4 page or from Drewheads.
    1. Install latest game package
    2. Install latest client update
    3. Install latest host update
    4. Install latest race updates
  • Try disabling your anti-virus software, many times it causes errors.
  • The "Clear Slot" button does not work at 100%, to be on the safe side, you should manually delete the content of the War or Univ directory.
    • You need to manually delete all of the contents of planets4/war/(game number) and planets4/univ/(game number) or the last set of messages is rolled over. Clearing the slot doesn't work fully.
  • If there is an error when you make a turn (the files are reported to be too small to run properly in host), you can try to copy your War directory to another computer and make the turn there, without redoing any commands.
  • If you see a file named RC802v2.RCE in your races folder DELETE it (From Tim's site)

[edit] Alternate VCR

Trouble running the default VCR ? Not working ? No sound ? Try this one from the official Planets4 page, which does not use DirectX (but wavmix32.dll).
