Okay...so let's do some ban-evading, doesn't really matter for a lifetime-ban I guess and this post will get deleted within minutes anyway.

But going to take the chance to take Talad by his words:

[00:23:54] <Talad> all people who worked on PS got credit
...
[00:23:59] <Talad> and if I missed anyone they can just tell me

Okay...in fact I don't really care about the credits at all. And even less to be thanked from Talad. But what I don't really like is making stuff from me appear as an achievement of the PS team. I have no problem with the new release comment on the Linux Game Tome. No names there what is all fine with me. But the second post here starting with "I want to thank the full team to making this possible:" goes a bit further than this as there are even people not on the team included there. And sure..a thank you post is all fine, also to not include everyone there. But then please remove the two Fixes and update in the post above that are from me. Not mentioning them is much better than making it appear that the next post names everyone involved. (Which I am aware isn't the case....but who of the other unnamed helpers contributed something named twice in the first post?). Of course I got some help from weltall which I am grateful for. First he looked through the patches and made them comply to the PS coding styles, then he submitted them and even improved one to make it easier for me to also include the GUIs.

So...before you come up with a "nice" post saying how grateful I should be that the PS team gave me the possibility to do that coding in the first place as there wouldn't be anything without them to apply my patches too just remove the two lines in the first post and I think it's solved in a acceptable way for everyone.

fixed

So on the topic of this new release, i go to the site, but all the links say error, or something along those lines, in other words it won't let me download the game. any ideas? 

[BoevenF]

please retry.
at this very moment I'm downloading flawlessly all the clients from Frubar mirror and PS German mirror. Clevertech mirror seems not working.

[Gearet]

Yeah the German ones work for me too, but i live in the US will that make a difference?

[weltall]

no

[LigH]

The installers should be all the same. No matter how and where you download them from.

Except for outdated versions or upload failures at a specific mirror...  

You can try to compare the published checksums (provided that they are up to date).

When I try to download any of the Torrent files from http://www.planeshift.it/download.html, e.g. these:


I get this (both IE and Fozilla):


Not a big problem as the Direct Download links works OK. But as you say "Please save our bandwidth and use uTorrent if you can", we should check why there is a problem with the Torrent files (it may be only temporary, who knows).

EDIT
It was temporary or someone fixed the problem. Now all Torrent file links works.

[LigH]

Yes, the server where torrent files are hosted is often down.

As already documented in dozens of similar threads about all the same issue. Which noone seems to read before posting.

[Caraick]

As you've said before, LigH.. People don't read tutorials, they don't read guidelines, and they certainly don't follow instructions
