this post was made by DeathG just thought i would sticky it

i posted all this before in the first topic that sparked everyone to get this game GO OLAPH anyways heres help

for all u lazy ppl ill post the anwser to ur problems

data.cab error thingy is solved by re downloading the game and using download manager and make sure it s all downloaded

for ur server down think i think its cause of this
Download and install these in order.

Rubies Client v.93
Rubies Patch v.94
CCpatchv95.exe

Replace these two files:
Rubies.exe
RubiesLauncher.exe
in your Rubies of Eventide folder,with the new ones below.
http://www.cyberwar.com/Rubies.exe Rubies.exe
http://www.cyberwar.com/RubiesLauncher.exe RubiesLauncher.exe
go to where u have installed rubies and put thhose 2 things there

and on the rare occasion u get the Vertex shards error here ya go:
At the login screen, click options.
Click the 'WORLD' dropdown box, then on the right, select TREE from the other drop down box.

Change it to Medium or Low to turn on Vertex shaders for trees.

Terrin, after the new post, it might be ideal to replace the current download links with the one in this post.

IF U GET AN ERROR saying there is not enough room to install Rubies EVEN AFTER you've selected CUSTOM setup and chose a drive with more than 1 gig of space other than C: ... then follow these directions:

START MENU (button) -- > SETTINGS (menu select) --> CONTROL PANEL (menu select)--> SYSTEM (icon)--> ADVANCED (tab) ---> ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES (button)

You should then be able to edit the system and/or user variables for your default temp drive. Make sure you scroll down the System Variables list and change "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP" to something else like "D:\TEMP" (make the TEMP dir on D:\ first). This variable designates where your system unpacks installation files. Like Xentar mentioned, if you only have 128 mb on your C: then theres no way it will install. I know its a pain in the butt (I've had to do this numerous times before) and seems counterintuitive but once you make a directory on D: and point this environment variable to it, you should be free of this annoyance in the future.

Good luck

this is all from the eventide.net support/help forum and all this was copied and pasted for al the lazy ppl

i dunno if anyone is going to be able to help me, but whats wrong is i load the game, like i get the screen, and click play rubies, then it looks like it is loading, then it returns back to the normal screen and says something about couldn't something direct3d, then another pop up comes and say something about initrendering(), i have no clue why it's doing that, im not sure if my computer is able to surport the game, i have a pentium 3 processor, its a HP Vectra and i have the latest DirectX Version, As well as just installing Xp's Service Pack 2. Please, can someone help me?

For you the game is not connecting to the server. Please allow the following 3 files to pass thru your firewall(s):

LithTech.exe, Rubie.exe, and RubiesLauncher.exe.

I have a Problem.... When i Crate a Char.. something like this PoPUp...

respond time Of the Server is used Up.. or something

i start up and it gives me the error : Couldn't set to DirectX 3D mode
Shutting down...

then it says : Error in InitRenderer()

I ran the DXDIAG and it came up as fine so i don't know if it means my graphics card sux or what.
