Did you do "chmod +x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x64.bin" first?

If so, then are you running 64-bit gentoo?

yes, i made it executable, but i'm not sure whether i'm running 64 or 32 bit. i'll have to check with my dad. he's the bloke who installed it(gentoo, that is).

i managed to install it (32 bit), but now all the text is garbled. (it looks like a rectangle with a blizzard inside of it)

i used the debug thing @ http://vaalnor.mine.nu/psdoc/?q=node/44, and came out with this readout: http://docs.google.com/View?docID=dn2n3kh_24dtmtvr&revision=_latest, if that helps at all.

(i am not, however asking anyone to make me a patch)
(though that would be highly appreciated  ;) )
