Title: updater
Post by: Rogercorsair on April 01, 2006, 04:13:30 pm

Is there a way to manually update in Linux without using the automatic updater?

The updater is not working for me, and crashes my system. I need that to solve the sewers fall-to-death problem.

Please, someone help this poor newbie!!

You can browse files in one of the repositories manually and download what you need here (http://www.psmirror.org/psupdater/).

If it\'s just this stupid thing:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x085472fc ***



That\'s a Linux-specific crash that\'s been fixed in CVS for a while now. There\'s an updated updated with it, or you could just build from source.

For a quick and easy fix do as root:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
Then run the updater as root.

The easiest way to workaround the game crash is to delete version.dat after each updater run. (btw, it\'ll always tell you to run the updater because this file is missing)
