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.

The official static version is not up-to-date.

You can compile a more recent version yourself or use my PPA, adding this source : ppa:kervala/ppa (only Maverick version is compiled currently )

Thanks. I tried the PPA and it seems to be working fine. I decided to redownload the data rather than use the old Data folder. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The PPA did help a lot, thanks. But I was still getting on only 50% of the time. Then I upgraded my netbook's memory from 1 GiB to 2 GiB, and that seemed to resolve things further.

Again, thanks for the help.

After I learned about ability to play for free and on Linux I became very interested in this game immediately.
I am searching for torrent Linux version download. Any Ideas?

Can you please put a link from the download page to the Linux version of Ryzom? Right now it's really a lot of searching until you can download it.

Thanks, flant
