Where's the download link? I can't find it! :(

[autocrosser]

Link is the "free download" icon---but here's the page link:

Remember to grab the Serial# from the main page to unlock the game....

I just installed it: you need to chmod a+x (location of file) & then do a sudo (location of file) to run the installer.

Haven't got it to run yet--post your results everyone!!

[The Noble]

It's not starting for me. I guess it is missing some dependencies.

Per this site: http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/9861 they'll be releasing a new linux installer.

I don't know though, it worked perfectly fine for me - I just had to run it from the terminal though, it refused to launch otherwise. But it installed & plays perferctly.

The game is really fun, and works on pretty old cards too. My only regret is I guess not being able to buy it.

[autocrosser]

I make a script to start the game---real simple, looks like:

cd "/usr/local/games/DHLore" && exec ./DHLore.bin

do a chmod +x (location of the script)

and referenced a launcher to it---works great now!!

Not that I've played it--I remember playing it with my macs several years ago....

Well, I got nothing. The game can install and launch, but segfaults when I try to start a game. I did find that I have to "bash" the launch script that the game installs, otherwise it produces an extra error, but it still won't run:

Just running the launch script:
cogadh@kubuntu-matrix:~$ dhlore
[: 107: ==: unexpected operator
fcntl: Operation not permitted
fcntl: Operation not permitted
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Using bash to run the launch script:
cogadh@kubuntu-matrix:~$ bash dhlore
fcntl: Operation not permitted
fcntl: Operation not permitted
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I know that the "fcntl" is some kind of file control error, but I've never seen it before, so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting it.

[autocrosser]

Try chmod a+x on the /usr/local/games/DHLore.bin & see if that fixes it for you---

[Vadi]

I installed it in my home dir btw, not system-wide.

It's already executable, the game does actually launch, it just crashes with a segfault when I try to start an instant action game.
I installed it in my home dir btw, not system-wide.
I'll give that a shot next.

[DARKGuy]

Three words:

THIS.

GAME.

ROCKS!!!!

[autocrosser]

Interesting--I used the installer & did a system-wide--using Hardy & after I created the script, I've had 0 problems using it...Yse I'd try installing to /home--maybe the installer is a bit buggy & I just got a good install.

[k0rfain]

is this just a demo
?

[autocrosser]

look at the main page---there is a serial# that is for the free one....

Well--I get the exact same thing...I can launch the game just fine, but when I go to "Instant Action", the game crashes (core dumped) with the same errors.

[Sockerdrickan]

I'll try it, is it the "demo" download?

[Vadi]

No, this is a full game.

Maybe you guys are missing some library? (I have a ton of them installed, not really picky about all of the depenency things)
