[FAQ] Ryzom in Linux (Reloaded)

[ncweber]

Hi there. I hope this thread is still active. I've been playing Ryzom for a while on my Ubuntu 10.10 netbook, but suddenly when I try to load it, I get "XML files invalid
msg.xml and database.xml files are invalid (server version signature is different)".

I tried the solution posted in the forums, but then it only said the path to msg.xml was missing after shutting down.

In a related query, does it make a difference if I start Ryzom using Terminal as opposed to double clicking the client file in Nautilus?

EDIT: Update on my situation. For a lark, I tried copying the data_common.bnp file from my Windows install, which does work, to my Linux machine. I no longer get error messages, but now when the game loads, it gets three-quarters of the way around the load ring graphic, then shuts down suddenly. In Terminal, it shows on word. Killed.
