Altitude Update Problems, keeps restarting

[Tekn0]

Thought I'd give altitude a try on some linux (went with Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, 64-bit as I don't have time to setup too many things).

Everything went fine after installing ATi drivers and getting 3d to work , started Altitude it comes up with music then it keeps say "Restart Altitude to play the new version" and I only get the "Restart" or "Exit" button.

It is as though it keeps thinking it just installed and update and requires restart.

Any ideas?

Just to start off, that looks like a permissions error.
Try starting altitude via sudo or root (bad idea, I know) to make sure, and if it does work, then chown or chmod the entire altitude directory to be writeable by your user.

Ah thanks, I'll try that. I have to admit I never really read those errors...

/me refrains from saying anything about java

Wasn't really the permissions, though I changed it fine.

I'll try to update JVM or something. Not in a mood to debug this from the stack traces in the /tmp/hs_err_pid2295.log .

Perhaps OpenJDK + Alti is not compatible.

Hmm suddenly seem to start up fine, but it's asking me for email and password. I bought Alti through steam.. does this mean I need to re-buy it standalone to run it on Linux?

At least I don't remember my login details, I never have to enter it in steam version of the game.

Or you can just stop playing it

Please send an email to support@nimblygames.com with your your Steam UID (from the file C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\altitude\log\Altitude .log on the line starting "Steam UID is") and your current Altitude nickname so we can update your Steam account.
