Game not starting

Finished Downloading yesterday. Put in my username and pass, pressed Launch PE, gets to a black screen but doesnt do anything after that. I had to alt-tab out and end task it. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

3.2ghz P4
512mb ram
128mb nvidea fx5200
win xp
30gb space on hd
dx 9.0c
Updated nvidea driver.

When u updated ur driver did u choose the one MA recommend?
Try lower ur settings in options (found at login page)

Cable?
ADSL?
Does network work well with other applications/games?

Found following clip from somewhere, somebody could clarify whether these are the right ports to open:

"[I]The following ports should be open to make Entropia work. (some of them are listed in the entropia documentation, some are not)

TCP 30592 Out
TCP 30596 Out
UDP 30584 S/R
UDP 31111 S/R
UDP 30111 R/S
UDP 30584 R/S

And ofcourse you need to have port 80 and 21 open[/I] "

Ahh, here it is

I Dont have a firewall, using dsl

Behind router?

nope, just the dsl modem

Im not a pro with this stuff,best is to wait for someone who knows this kind of stuff really good to give his/her opinion.

:slight_smile: I wouldnt have waited though I would have tried all sorts of stuff.

I had problems my self when I first tried PE and got so mad I was close to give up without even playing. Now Im very happy I didnt do that cause this is a great game.

The thing I did to sort stuff out was the one I said Above I lowered connection speed in options to 128 instead of trying to start the game with the one I should have used.

ppl help out with this one
