Hi, I’m new to the forum and just recently heard about Lutris. I love the idea and I tried to install one of my favorite RTS-classics: Z. https://lutris.net/games/z/
However, It doesn’t work. It hangs while installing displaying only a black terminal screen. After a few hours of waiting I decided to close the screen and it automatically opens again (see screenshot). Is there something wrong with the installation process?
I have an i7 with 12 GB RAM running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS so I don’t think that should be a problem.
hi
I have not tried to install this game.
However, I notice there’s a requirement for ar(GNU coreutils), stated on the game page.
As an alternative there is an open source version on zod.sourceforge.net.
Hope that helps a little
Tried now. Failure.
It would not be hard to fix though. It’s using a linux runner.
There are instructions in the game folder as to requirements in a file called readme_linux.txt
basically the issue is the last time this game was updated was in 2013, it’s meant to run on Ubuntu 10.10…
I downloaded the assets and src code from sourceforge and built it again for a newer version of Linux
it seems to run ok. but I ran out of time to test it tonight.
I tried, but it didn’t work. I ended up in a dependency hell. Most of the the dependencies are not compatible with Ubuntu 16.04. I have to little knowledge to fix the script. I hope someone else can get it to work.
