Title: Issue installing and running on Linux
Post by: Carroto on February 21, 2023, 11:43:18 am
First of all I'm using a non-standard patcher, so I'm not necessarily expecting anything, but I'm curious if anyone might have any insight into the behavior I'm seeing.  I'm using https://github.com/Matt-Fitzpatrick/etoh-downloader (https://github.com/Matt-Fitzpatrick/etoh-downloader), which I've used on other servers without any problems.  Running the patcher everything seems to run fine and I run the downloaded Rebirth.exe under wine and I get this:

Quote
./rebirth/rebirth_bin.pigg: Bad flag on file - not a Pig file-1

Your data might be corrupt, please run the patcher and try again.

So I look and I see that the file is there but has a file size of zero.  I download the file manually and get the same thing.  I examine the manifest and it shows the file having a size of zero.  So everything agrees the file should be empty, but the game client complains about it.  I'm confused about what might be going on here.

I'm a little late to the party but it sounds like that launcher isn't removing 0kb files and it should be. I have a powershell launcher here on the forums I believe and since you can sudo apt-get powershell now it might work better for you and does remove 0kb files.
