Currently no, but Desura is implementing Standalone installs. However, not installing Desura would save you 15mb, and evo is about 300mb, not to mention the maps which push it to over 600mb iirc.

Wow, am I stupid. Just shows what a noob I still am at Linux. :) Thanks for the pointer, the game downloaded fine, and I was able to launch a game!

According to Koshi, you’re probably having connection problems on the “Update bit”. Please do that separately, and when it errors out, copy and paste the entire console log into http://www.pastebin.com, and give me/us the link.

Sorry you’re having trouble!

I am trying to download the game on Ubuntu 10.10. Unfortunately, the last step causes an error concerning the signature and consequently evolobby does nothing in the terminal:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 55708F1EE06803C5

There is a Mac build of the engine (first time in years), but currently it insta crashes. In next version of the engine it “should” be stable on Macs. Considering that there is only 1 Mac developer working on it, it is a bit of a tall order. Windows and Linux have been supported for ages, but the project never could get any Mac support until recently.

Here is a link to the OSX forums on the engine website: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=65 So you can follow along on recent developments if you like.

If at all possible, in the future, I will have a Mac version for download as well, once it’s stable and working.

I do not know of this is the place for this question, so if it is in the wrong place, please tell me where I should put it. My comment is: What happens if you are using a mac, 10.6.8? Can you install it via a general Linux way, or do you have to do something special? Sorry if I seem like a dimwit, I’m not at ALL experienced with the terminal, and I’m nervous about wrecking my computer. This game look very interesting, and If there is a way I could run it(preferably, without the terminal, but I can copy and paste) I would definitely use it.

In the settings program disable bumpmapped water, and right after doing that, send an email to ATI asking that they fix their drivers for proper OpenGL support.

Next time to yourself a favor and buy Nvidia. :-)

Also, in the future, please do not post bugs here (and for gods sake don’t post an entire infolog… sheesh, a little courtesy please? Use http://www.pastebin.com and give the link, for example: http://pastebin.com/abQGvjsw ).

Use the Forum ( http://forums.evolutionrts.info) or the Bug tracker ( http://bugs.evolutionrts.info ).

Edit: 60 seconds on the forums or the bug tracker would have answered your question.
