I\'m having the same issue, I\'ve also tried suggested alternative binary, but it just segfaults. My version seems to be the latest known version (0.3.008) so what could be the problem?
I just downloaded PlaneShift (the 0.3.007 package) today and ran the updater which got me to 008 just fine. Only thing that caught my attention during update was this:
Your updater version is older than the server\'s..
I get this message even when running the updater afterwards when it seemingly reports that all is up-to-date, except that line. This looks like a linux specific bug, otherwise I\'m sure more users would see this.
