Hey, long time since I could play Zero-K! ^^

I'm running Debian Testing. I downloaded the semi-portable installer, extracted to ~/ext/zk/, cd'd to it, and ran...

$ ./Zero-K_linux64

`export 'TERM=xterm' && ./Zero-K_linux64` should hopefully do the trick for you (if it doesn't, try changing your terminal manually).

I believe this is this issue, there is an incompatibility between the launcher and modern terminals: https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Chobby/issues/755 (the TERM workaround has been submitted in https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/pull/2794)

Setting any value to TERM env var tends to fix it. The issue is a bug in the specific version of mono used to produce the packaged launcher.

You can obtain a non-packaged version of the lobby here, and just launch it with mono, too.

Thanks y'all, I was able to get it running with
quote:
TERM=xterm ./Zero-K_linux64
and played for a few days...until I ran into https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/issues/3722 instead 😅
