Hello there.
I can't play after update to Ubuntu 18.10.

Here is the error :


mono Zero-K.exe

Hi,
This sounds like some files are corrupted. Usually magic numbers refer to a file's contents being a different type than the program expected. maybe try a game reinstall in a different folder (don't delete original in case I'm wrong).

No it's not that. I've got exactly the same problem after update to Ubonto 18.10.
And it runs fine with wine.

Hmm. Mono seems broken.

A command like mono-test-install gives the same result:

Active Mono: /usr/bin/mono

Your have a working System.Drawing setup

Thanks for answers. What do I need to do to use it with Wine please ?

Install wine.
Browse to directory containing Zero-K.exe
Type wine Zero-K.exe in terminal.

On closer look, seems it's a known bug in mono with ncurses 6.1:

https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752#issuecomment-365212655

A simple workaround is to set TERM=xterm for example, that is, some terminfo file that is in the old file format.
So, try to start ZK from a terminal using:
export TERM=xterm
mono Zero-K.exe
