I have changed my system to linux not long ago, and decided to try zero-k again. I have installed it following the instructions on the download page, but after i try to launch any mission or multiplayer game, no mission is actually started.

In terminal, there is an exception stack that looks like this:

What is wrong or what should i do to launch and play the game?
P.S. my system is ubuntu 13.04, if that matters

What happens if you:

quote:

cd ~/.spring/engine/91.0
./spring


Afaik, some of the archives for 91.0 hilariously forgot the exec permission bit for the shipped spring binary. If the command above fails with "insufficient privileges", it's that case. You can fix it with "chmod +x ./spring".

Amazingly, that fixes problem partially. Spring starts.
however, after the load sequence, spring window closes right at the moment where the game should begin.

Here is the last part from infolog.txt, which i believe to be relevant.

I guess, i should try another build or building it locally after that?..

Use the official drivers provided by Nvidia instead of nouveau.

Thank you. That did the trick.
Now to ensure proper full-screen mode and i will be all set.

This. I spent 2 hours compiling 91.0 only to find out that ticking a box in the static build would have worked.
