Problems with Privateer Gold

[StevenJ]

I'm not sure where I should post this. I decided to post it here since the game is based on Vega strike. I cannot get it to play. Here are my system specs:

OpenSUSE 11.0 x86 64 bit
KDE4.1.3

AMD 5000+
ATI 1950XTX

I'm running it out of /home/steven (My user) as myself, NOT root.

I'll look into it. Where can I download and install it? I love Vegastrike core 0.5.0 but I'd love to try a good wing commander mod that works I keep hearing there is one! I don't see a download link in the fourms.

There download is directly from there svn repo and they are using the 0.5 binaries so you should not need to get that module although they are useing one that is much latter from our svn repo so you might run out of space if your HOME partition is getting full my problem as well one reason i don't have it Linux side myself.

Enjoy the Choice

If you want the 0.5.0 binaries for linux, see here:
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/users ... /binaries/
they shoould be pretty stable for most purposes but do not have any features from the last 8 months.

But it's best if you compile from source.
