It would seem simple enough, yeah. Then again, I'm too lazy to figure out how to use sed or awk as of the moment, and I'm ok with starting a new game. If anyone wants to figure it out and post it here so we have a more complete how-to, that's their prerogative I guess.

Bah. I did search, I swear... in the Linux forum. Not the other ones, which would give those links. Sorry all. Strange that this never happened when playing with Steam, and is only revealed in Linux, though. To xander: Everything does work fine on Steam. I guess that they patched the exe, and not th...

Unfortunately, turns out copying savegames isn't so easy. Windows save games use DOS text files; linux savegames use UNIX text files. If you have a util to convert them, then go ahead and try it... otherwise, you're going to be able to load games, but not save them. Sorry mates.

Yay, it worked. Copy and paste the gren_boom1 through gren_boom5 sounds, rename them as rocket_boom1 through rocket_boom5, and it works.

The question stands: has anyone else had this problem, or is this just because I copied my sounds.dat from steam?

I'm going to continue my little monologue, since this forum seems rather sparse. I opened up sounds.dat as a rar file, turns out its missing all the rocket_boom sounds. I'm trying to copy and paste the gren_boom sounds to rocket_boom and see what happens, but no luck so far. Tricky little archive.

Has anyone else had the game crash when they use a rocket? No matter what, when I use a rocket, the game locks up... grenades and airstrikes seem to work fine. I'm running a pentium 4 1.8 ghz, 512 mb ram, an ati radeon 9800 pro with 128 mb memory, running the closed source ATI driver (8.20.08 ) Does...

I'm suffering from the same problems, it seems. Its really strange, actually--on escort last night, I was getting 20-30 fps with everything on medium and 1024x768, but today I can barely pull 6 or 7 fps with everything on lowest and 800x600 on receiver. I'm using the closed source ATI driver on a ra...

There are also tons of little dock applications, one of which you can find on the windowsblinds website, somewhere or other. My verdict on them? Don't use these things unless you have a beefy system that you're willing to slow down to molasses. Sloooooow. But hey, its pretty!

It doesn't require the CD, it requires the data on the CD. The data that is also in the steam release. More specifically, you need to take the main.dat and sounds.dat files from the SteamApps\username\Darwinia (something like that...) folder, and put them in the .../darwinia/lib directory. That's a...
