Hello everyone. I'm just a little confused over what the official release is of this mod and where I can download it. Looks like fun and I would love to try it out.

I believe the developer's version is the current one (just check the two top "announcements" in the main Trek Universe page)

This is a common issue with the VS engine or some libraries on some linux systems. We still don't know what causes it and are cuurently hintuing that bug.
Here is the workaround: Before launching the vegastrike executable issue the command:

Code: Select all

xhost +local:

But be carefull, this gives anyone on your computer access to your x-session. That's not a problem unless other people remotely log in to your system.

If you are working on "home" machine you can simply add this line into your ~/.xinitrc file and forget about problem.

Good deal. It's not a huge issue, but when I'm done playing, how to I kill that whole thing that lets anyone into my x-session?
