The patch that just came out fixed my audio issue but not the certificate issue for online play.

Quoting: m2mg2Definately not a firewall issue. I tried with flushed iptables rules. There is also an audio bug. I have to do killall pulseaudio before starting the game otherwise I get no audio and the game freezes shortly after launching until I kill -9 it.

Hopefully they get the first round of patches out pretty quick.

if you find any solution please share with us. Thank you very much

Looks like somebody's found a workaround [External Link] (haven't had a chance to try it yet myself).

The problem is that on Fedora et al. /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt is called /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt. The work around is simply creating a symlink:

sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Tested works!!!

Still have the pulse audio bug though. Have to issue killall pulseaudio before launching game.

Quoting: AldoRaineThe multiplayer mode does not work for me. I am using Fedora 23. Anyone else with this problem?

I'm on fedora 24 and have the same problem, not connected to rocket league servers

i have no idea how to fix this, i turned of the fire wall but to no avail

you could solve the problem? I'm searching here and if you can, I'll be posting here. Please, if it works for you, share with us

Try this as root "setenforce 0"

Then launch. See if it works.

Does not work. I already disabled firewalld and selinux. I don't know what to do. But thanks to reply my friend

If it is a firewall issue, disabling firewalld may not be enough. You can flush your rules.
use (as root or with sudo) iptables -L

if you have no rules it will have three tables all with a default policy of accept.

to flush existing rules

iptables -F

I don't know if it is a firewall issue or not. Would be good to know as I am also on Fedora.

Quoting: bubexelCam'on, its just 20 euros for a game with thousand of hours of gameplay... cam'on

You say that as if everyone that buys it will play it for thousands of hours. Some people have other things to do and play some games here and there on the side. From the other side, that is also thousands of hours of free testing you just did for them on top of the 20 euros you gave them. Seriously, you can play tic tac toe for thousands of hours too. That means nothing. I haven't heard anyone say the cost is to much, or there isn't enough game play. The problem is that the game is still early access. You're giving answers to a question that hasn't been asked. It has nothing to do with what you are saying. You want to make a bunch of money on a game, release a game. You want people to pay you to test your Beta game, have the decency to only ask them for money once, or at least release the silly game before asking for more.

Quoting: GuestI actually blame gaming customers because most of them are kids and/or are completely unrealistic in their views. Just read through the steam forums or reviews for any game title to see it....

That we agree on. However in this case I think the customers are right. I'm not saying the game is bad, but I am saying the dev/publisher is wrong and deserves it. They can turn it around, but they need fix their mistake one way or another. Release it, or refund. I haven't played the game, but if it is as good as you say there is no problem with them releasing it. Nothing would stop them from continuing to update it, or add new content and they would not get this level of backlash for releasing DLC's.

You hit the nail right here. All the dev's did was released an expansion in early access. But the game is still better than most fully released AAA games these days. They should just release it. That is, to me, their only mistake. Having 2 words on steam, "Early Access" In the quote the dev's said..

"We determined that it is more sound to iterate on these systems during Early Access than after retail launch, given the significant risks involved if we didn't "get it right". While that meant unveiling the first Expansion early, it also means an easier time integrating further post-launch Expansions into the ARK network. "

So they are testing how to release expansions so they can get the systems right, nothing wrong with that in my eyes. Although I have bias, I love this game and have played close to 400 hours and the expansion is great fun played it for 8 hours last night. If this game was not as good as it is my opinion would be vastly different.

All it needs is optimization, it is awesome right now and I would not be upset if they released it today.

It make this topic interesting and why it is getting so much press. The game is popular, I just looked on steam there are 53,044 people playing right now. Not bad at all. This expansion is a success no matter how much backlash it has. Its fun. Did the devs make a mistake,yes. For me, it is worth every penny, I would gladly pay full price for the base game and expansion right now knowing the 100's of hours of enjoyment I have got from it. It is still a great price for a game packed with content and growing every week. ARK is one of Linux's best games in my opinion.

They could very easily test with free DLC. They didn't need to charge for a DLC while in Early Access to test that function. If they wanted to test they should have tested with free DLC. If they want to charge, release the game and charge for it. It really isn't very complicated.

My biggest concern is other dev/publishers follow suit and we end up with all these games eternally in Early Access, not fixing issues or following through with what was supposed to be core content but charging for a bunch of DLC. From my point of view you go Early Access so you can get some funding for your game before it is complete, you also get people to bug test your game, give you feedback on it and pay you for it. I don't think I've ever bought an Early Access game for this reason. In my view the dev/publishers get more than fair return from customers on Early Access games, this feels like glass just got put on the stick if you know what I mean. They want to get all benefits of Early Access, plus all the benefits of having a released game but take none of the drawbacks of either. In my opinion they are getting off easy.

Quoting: m2mg2This is absolutely ridiculous. They had to know the kind of reaction it would get and they did it anyway. It isn't bad reviews causing the problem, they caused the problem by choice. Some people have suggested it is due to lawsuit costs/losses, which makes sense. Players did not cause those loses and they should not be paying for them. People have already paid for an incomplete game, the company should be making good on what people already paid for. They should not be crapping on people that already paid, to try and get more money from them. It is a horrible precedent. It says to devs, hey you can get people to pay for unfinished products. Not only that, but you can get them to pay for more unfinished crap before you finish the crap they already paid for. You don't ever even have to finish a product, just keep putting all the unfinished crap you want out there and have people pay for it. If you get some unexpected costs come up that has nothing to do your customers, who cares just make an addition to your unfinished crap and charge them for it.

If they really needed the money, they should have released the product and then released a DLC.

Some people may not have a problem with this, obviously most people do. Overwhelming so, if think it is ok you might want to more thoroughly consider the other side of the argument. I'm not saying you're wrong, you have the right to your point of view. There are really good reasons people are opposed to this.

Correction, people have paid for an incomplete game that gets weekly if not daily updates to the codebase and new content constantly.

That isn't a correction at all, it is just additional information. Just because a product gets updates does not make it complete or released. An unfinished product pretty much has to get updates in order to become complete.

You're acting as if the game is in an unfinished state, lacks content, and is problemed. You're incorrect on all counts... It's unfinished because they are adding so much. It is a complete gaming experience in regards to content by all means. It has been a complete experience since the day it was released. The only thing that is unfinished is the optimization. They could stop adding content now ( or 8 months ago ) and the game would be a complete gaming experience. You're going to fault a dev for going way up and above and adding insane levels of content to a game? You need to take your anger to devs that have poor update cycles and release full releases that are BS instead of directing it towards devs that give way more than they need to in order to make a product completely awesome instead of just "finished"... Game devs must have the worse jobs in the entire world trying to please gamers. Do everything great and one thing that people deam wrong and you go from a very postive review to a terrible review. No rewards for the good only hate and damn nation for the one "mistake"...

/Jason

Um... Early Access is by definition unfinished. It hasn't been released in any way other than Early Access. There are known issues, mentioned in several threads on this website and I think even in this thread. So I'm not wrong on any counts. You can just say you don't agree with my point of view. Continuing to make completely inaccurate statements does not promote your case. You seem to have anger with dev's of other games which you need to take up with them. They could release the game and keep adding content to the base game and release DLC's, lots of developers do this and customers do not have a problem with it. They could refund the money for people that bought the DLC and the reviews would turn around. They could release it and reviews would likely turn around. They want to keep it Early Access and charge for DLC, why? If as you say it is so much better than released products, there would be no issue with that. You are blaming customers for a situation that is clearly the developers fault.

Please find something I am actually wrong about before you make a "correction" or call me wrong again.
