New patch issue: game won't start.

You may need to set executable flags for the binaries. Zip files like the patches don't save this kind of information.

chmod +x dom3 will solve it.

What is the error message? Even if the binary fails to execute, there should be a message pointing in a particular direction -- permissions, dynamic linker issues, or so forth.

Not if he is running it outside a console, then he will see nothing.

Well, that's taken care of. Thanks guys!

Are there many more professional quality Linux games that are more than an Arena with guns?

thepodger, yes there are lots of good games, although not always as interesting. Battle for Wesnoth is a nice game, too, google for it.

Wesnoth is nice, but the game is very basic with its evolution moving way to slow for my taste.
