those crashes don't actually matter, nuty. They're due to the translater feature not finding a place to dump unknown sentences (sentences it can't translate). Fixed by just creating a layer.txt file (either in ~/Salem or ~/Salem/bin, can't remember which of the two).

why cant i log in then? its just black screen after login in cant eaven chose character

off the top of my head, I'd go with internet provider troubles. Russia and China in particular are known for ISPs that block connections to non-standard server ports, i.e. they stop you from connecting to the resource server. Have a look at VPN solutions if you are in either of those countries (or countries with similar internet issues).

im in ireland i played normaly for few days here. now i cant connect

then possibly there's a corrupt resource file somewhere (although to my knowledge that's rather rare in other countries). Try deleting ~/.salem.
This will delete your entire resource file cache (3D models and the like), which will prompt a re-download of objects as you see them in-game. Total download on the order of 300 or 400 MB or the like.

yea that did it thanks

My client seems to load in slower and slower, is there a cache folder or something that I should delete for maintenance?

Thanks in advance

There is no real reason for the client to start up slower because it has a large resource cache.
But if you want to try it whether it changes anything (if you find that it does, please let me know ) the cache is located at C:\Users\<Osky>\.salem.
Just delete that entire folder (but note that the first character log-in will take a while, as all resource files are being re-downloaded from the server.
