Quoting: wytrabbitSo this doesn't interfere with or modify the Discord client in any way? I'm concerned with my account being banned.

Nope! I've been using it and it's predecessor for about 2 years now!

It might not have banned me, but when my kid started using it we got issues with discord not accepting our IP for a few hours every few hours. (3 accounts from the same ip address). When my kid stopped using it issues stopped as well.

That's interesting. Shouldn't be happening. Could you open an issue on our GitHub page so we can investigate this further?

If he wants to start using it again, sure. The error we got was : too many requests, 429.

Quoting: 1xok

An error occurred while processing your request:

This product is currently not available in your country.

North Korea?

No, Germany.

Which was mentioned in the linked video.

I hope this game will be fun. I prefer coop games, but there's just not enough of them. Managing health doesn't sound like fun, but we'll see.

Quoting: BladeforcePcsx2 powervr card. Now that was a card to blow you away at the time. Still hoping someone makes a wrapper for powervr much like nglide or dgvoodoo2 for 3dfx

Want to be blown away? Here's one for you.

Last week I finally got around to getting my GUS MAX from storage to test if it still works. Partially out of nostalgia partially to start getting rid of old hw I will never use again. Anyway I was just thinking about the time I still used it on linux in the 90s and how I used to brag about it. I loved the fact that the OSS drivers in those days supported my obviously superior audiocard when on MS-Windows >= 95 there were no drivers to be found that actually worked properly.

What was I talking about, again? Oh right blowing away! So, while thinking about all of this I turned on the machine I had managed to piece together and started everything up. After that everything becomes a bit hazy as my eardrums were eject from my head because of the very LOUD pop.
I now know why I stopped using that card ;) (it nearly broke my amp in the 90s). Bystanders send me messages that it actually works fine.

Anyway nice article Hamish, be careful with the audio! I am glad I wasn't using active speakers that day.

Quoting: Shepard62FRHello everyone, I'm the Linux programmer of Zombie Panic! Source.

I invite those who have problems to read this pinned Steam discussion thread [External Link] about the known issues and the fix for those who have the problem with cURL and "client.so".

Have you considered incorporating your fix in the actual release? Just a friendly suggestion.

Quoting: exstrim401Replace libcurl.so with the system one from /usr/lib/libcurl.so

That could work, except it replaces it every time you try to start the game.

It does not replaces it for me. In that case you can write sh script like this:
#!/bin/sh
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Zombie\ Panic\ Source/zps/bin/libcurl.so
ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Zombie\ Panic\ Source/zps/bin/libcurl.so
and set launch params to: ~/fix_zps.sh;%command%

Your solution is close but one tiny point, the game is 32 bit not 64, so the libcurl.so you copy over the original is not being used.
Knowing that means that removing the libcurl.so when the update popup is there works and it wont crash and it wont restore the file either.
I tried this and it seems to work. Thx for pointing me in the right direction.....

While they only technically support Ubuntu / SteamOS, it does appear to work fine on EndeavorOS, which is pretty much just Arch Linux.

Just not enough like Arch actually, the game just comes up with a popup about a not being able to load the client library after the introvideo. A shame, I was looking forward to trying this, but at the same time I am in no mood to hunt this bug down.

CARRION & Brutal Doom (I & II). I must be out for blood lately ;) Ohhh good one I should play more of that game too.

I bought the game as soon as it was available on GOG! I played through the demo a few months back and it seemed like fun. And indeed the full game is a lot of fun.

I must also say that I agree with all positives and the negatives. And it seems most critics agree with each other on those too.

Anyway I hope it sells well and they can make nice games like this. I would not mind being the bad guy/girl a bit more.
