When loading the game, and it loads the area (map), I get the “Loading Region Failure” notice and then the client must be terminated by clicking ok. Multiple attempts at trying to bring the same character back result in same issue. Sometimes, I am able to bring a different character in who is a different area, log out and relog my original character and it will correct itself. On serval occasions I must do a complete reboot in order to clear out the problem. I dont know if there is a report generated about this or not. If so, and you can tell me where or what its called..I will add it into the comments.
have you contacted a gm to check your location? what map is this happening in? can you list your system stats?
No, I have never contacted any GM's pertaining to this. 99% of the time it is when I in Hydlaa.

This is a very basic listing of System Config. If you need something more specific, please let me know and I can include it.
The file "errorlog.txt" in the planeshift install directory might help, submit it to a site like http://www.pastebin.ca/, and post the link here. You will have to post the file right after the client crashes, it is overwritten each time you start the game.
As pastebin.ca often seems to be down (for me it did so), another location to upload reports is: http://rafb.net/paste __
It could be possible that you tried to load the game just while the server crashed again.
Also, what kind of internet connection do you have, on both sides of a modem/router (phone/cable/sat, wired/wireless)?
Internet Connection: Cable, up to 10mbps
Router: Linksys 54G 10/100
Modem: Linksys Cable Modem
As for the loading as server crash comment by Mario Rohkrämer (LigH) "It could be possible that you tried to load the game just while the server crashed again"
No, it normaly happens after i have logged out, (for whatever reason) and loged back in. Server is up and functional. There are no anomalies, at least on my side.
I will send the error log next time it happens.
Had the Region fail while loading. I was comming back into BD1, near ruins to be exact.
Here is Url for paste link: URL: http://rafb.net/p/16Vet743.html
The reason I mentioned pastebin.ca, is because rafb.net only keeps the post for one day. Here is a copy of it: http://www.pastebin.ca/1036415
It seems you have an invalid PlaneShift/art/world/magicshop.zip file, did you run the updater? If it had a problem it may have removed it, or renamed it to magicshop.zip.old. If it's not there, or it still doesn't work, try reinstalling, without updating; then make a backup of it and try run the updater.
I run the updater somewhat frequently just to be sure there are no updates. I have never noticed any changes except after the initial install. The Magicshop.zip is the same as it is on my other computer. Compared them, no diference. Just to be safe, I downloaded the installer again. However, I downloaded it 3 times from download.Xordan.com, tried to install it, and everytime it had the same problems with installing, starting where it adds the sewer maps. Might be worth looking to see if this file is corrupted on Xordan.com. I finally got a perfect download from PsMirror.org and reinstalled the game into a new directory. I did however copy my old config files from the old dir to new dir so I didn't have to redo everything. I will let you know if this has rememdied the problem or not.
Had the same problem with loading region again. Its happened a couple times since initial post, but forgot to get info prior to loging. I just posted the latest errorlog: http://www.pastebin.ca/1046052
I was heading into Oja(city) when it happened. I have also checked the updater just a couple days ago, so everything should be current.
I've experienced this too several times - it appears to be an intermittent error, difficult to reproduce consistently (I "fail to load region [ok]", client crashes). Don't think it's a connection issue, since I have a stable cable setup. Location is not consistent either, I've seen/felt it several places. My machine is a G5 Mac running OS X 10.5.4.
Edit: Why is this "uncomfirmed"???
Edit2: Now this is a constant error, making PS almost unplayable for me, since I get the error whenever trying to enter these regions
What is left for me to explore? Central Hydlaa, Sewers and Laanx Temple + dungeon(but not exit). Those work.
Edit3: Tried running PSupdater with Checkintegrity, no improvement - reports all ok except the vfr3d.xml (I think), which is edited to remove semicolon in the line with "texture_compression"
I have had this happen also from the plaza to library map and coming from oja entering the library map this happens randomly I run linux
This happened many times to me, too. I start the client, log on and try to join, and then the "Loading region failure" message appears. It started when I updated to version 0.4.01.13. Before the update, the failure didn´t occur. Like Henrik Baasch said, it is intermittent, happens sometimes, and sometimes not. It happened at every location I was at before I logged off(Tutorial region, Hydlaa Plaza, Kadar-Els bar). When I successfully join the game, I can go to the sewers and the arena without any problems, I wasn´t to any other regions so far. In the beginning the error occured frequently, I was able to join one or two times, and then not anymore. After 2 days I reinstalled the game and set the Vertex Buffer option in Pssetup to "default" and now it seems like it appears much less frequently. 3 days long the game worked without problems, the fourth day the message appeared once again. Today I joined the game one time and there were no problems. This may be only a coincidence, maybe part of the problem has been fixed while I was reinstalling.
I preserved the Errorlog that was produced when I tried to join the tutorial region, I think it was before the reinstall. I will post a new one if the error occurs again.
I have a graphics card with 32 MB RAM. This is below the sys. requierments, so it could be the cause of my problems. I doubt that, because when the failure doesn´t occur and I can join the game, it works fine, considered the configuration that I have(there is some lag around the iron temple and in parts of the arena).
I have a DSL connection via a DSL modem.

I am having the same problem. I cannot load several regions.
A GM tried to move me into the region, to no avail.
I have tried several times already to load the region, but each time, it fails, and it kicks me off.
Recently, I tried, and when I went to log back in, I couldn't even finish loading.
So now I am stuck, unable to get into the game.
My character is Yakedo Shippuu. I have posted in a related topic on the forums: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33261.msg383049#new
(Why won't anyone vote on this? =D)
I haven't had this problem until yesterday. And unfortunately I can't play again until it's fixed. =(
Edit: I have a feeling that this has something to do with the way the FS#1826 - Stamina Bug was fixed.
EDIT2: Reinstalled and updated with –CheckIntegrity on, everything works now. Must be a problem with the updater, as I started having this problem when I updated the last time…
Possible workaround: Reinstall, and run the updater from the command line with –CheckIntegrity after it.
Possible solution: Make –CheckIntegrity on by default.
I've also seen this bug quite a few times. I think it could probably be considered 'confirmed' by now ;)
Yes, please set it to "New".
For me it happens almost never while loading the game, but while passing map loading portals.
There are situations where it seems more probable to appear. Like after traveling a longer distance and crossing several map loading portals (e.g. hydlaa_plaza ⇔ Akkaio-East), I "often" crash leaving the guildhouse (#1 in hydlaa_jayose); also I crashed leaving the Winch area, after longer travels (but not when traveling only forth and back between guildhouse and winch). Could be related to action locations. Or it simply is one teleport too many.
happens for me too (with the latest update - 0.4.01.14). I was in hydlla with a character and tried to get into the forest where the magic house lies and the "loading region failed" bug appeared. When I reloaded I was teleported back on the path to a place short before the other region would have started to load. When I tried to reach it, the bug happened again. (G4 PPC-Mac on OSX).
Marking this new (confirmed) and all osses. Mrokii, is this the same as 2056? If so one of them should be closed.
as this is not on a mac i would have to say these are not the same. [as originally reported]
Well, the other bug is all mac, and this started as windows, but then some of the mac people from the other bug came here and said "me too!". That's why I was wondering.
The good news is that the failure seems to have vanished, the bad is that it happened without my intervention, so I can´t tell how to fix it. The last time it occured about a week ago.
Meanwhile I`ve been in regions outside Hydlaa, like Ojaroad, Eagle doors road, the Magic shop, Gurgontid village, the Howling well and the Death realm. The failure never happened while I was moving form one region to another, only when joining the game.
Are there any confirmations of this problem from after 29 August (release of 04.02), or even better from after an update a few weeks ago that also stopped the 'Map not Found' error? I have the feeling that this problem is gone.
I just went from Hydlaa to Akkaio and back, then into the guildhouse and out … no crash.
Will try soon to go to the Bronze Doors, Gugrontid and the Winch…
This time I crashed, leaving the winch, with "Loading region failed".
BDroad2 is still completely unavailable to me, not even a GM /teleport into the region can help me.
Please retest this with latest fixes and solution presented in
bug 2056.Closing this as there was no new info on the remaining problem (winch) half a year after asking, and this is probably related to
bug 1796, so closing this as duplicate of that.
