It was fun, I’d look into the developers other games in the future if they don’t bail on us. I hope they don’t — poor linux needs more games.

I don’t have any statistics to back this up or anything, but I do wonder — it seems to me that linux gamers are more likely to look at indie games (that they are made aware of!) then windows gamers, which just play WoW and CS/BF2142.

export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209

before you start the installer can help with running it on those checksum error messages.

As for crashing on start, it most likely has something to do with the sound libs included. If you’d like help for it, sign into the IRC server irc.maxgaming.net, head to the channel #darhorizons & look for Keith-MGT. I’ll try to do what I can for you. The log file for the game is located in the ~/.maxgaming/lore directory called console.log (assuming it didn’t segfault instantly on starting).

it is indeed a nice game

I guess Dark Horizons is not very mature yet.
