Hello people of the forum. It is I once again, strolling back on into this topic with a few more problems and issues, which far exceed my tiny 15 year old brain’s capability to solve, cause well, problems have become my middle name by now. Essentially the issues I am having are 2 fold. Number 1, I can’t for the life of me seam to be able to comprehend what exactly is the latest stable release of cataclysm. I’ve heard tell of a stable 0.F version, but the GitHub repository on ubuntu only installes the 0.E-1 variant, whilst on the official site, the most recent thing that I could find was 0.E-3, so I am a bit baffled as to the whole situation. Number 2, I’m having what some might term to be, a critical failure when it comes to launching the game. Yes, I can’t for the life of me get the thing to run. The GitHub version which you get when installing with apt works perfectly fine, I just type cataclysm into the terminal, and we’re good to go. However, when I try to launch the game after downloading the most recent release, both were stable and experimental are concerned, I’ve had no luck. I’ve normally downloaded the tar archive from their sight, extracted it, went to click on cataclysm-launcher.sh, and nothing. All that I get is a menu with the options to either A, run, which does nothing, B, run in terminal, which also does nothing, and C, display, which similarly doesn’t run the file. There’s an .exe file in the directory as well, and clicking on that just flatly does nothing, it doesn’t bring up the menu that I had with the .sh file. Following some advice, and what I found on the net, I tried using chmod to run the shell script, but no dice. Typing in “chmod U+x cataclysm-launcher” prompts the terminal to react in no discernible way, not saying if its worked or not. Then when I proceed to type in “./cataclysm-launcher”, the terminal reports that no such file was found, even after I had cruised on over to the directory using CD. At this point, I’m blayming the fact that I have the expertise of a tin spoon when it comes to using Linux, so if somebody could point out what daft mistake I’m doing, that would be great, and I apologies for having just so many problems that I can’t seam to solve on my own.
