Title: Paintball2 - failed to load game dll
Post by: idee on April 16, 2009, 10:47:38 AM: I am running SuSE linux 11.1. I was able to load and run Paintball2 on my son's 586 machine, but on my 64 machine it will not load or find the game dll. The source for the packages was Packman. The final error is:

loading game.so
failed to load game dll.

I noticed that the ogg vorbis was also errored. I have alsa sound, and when it opens there is sound, so I wouldn't think that should make any difference. Is there any way to get this working?

thanks,

Try installing that, its probably a later version as well.

Thanks, sorry to be a noob, but . . . I downloaded that file, extracted it, but it will not configure, so where do I put it and how do I use it? Is it a 64bit app?

Post by: ViciouZ on April 18, 2009, 05:01:34 PM: It's a 32 bit app, paintball currently has some issues with 64 bit linux. All you need to do is extract it somewhere and run ./paintball2. It usually takes a while on the first run to generate some security stuff, which may make the game look like it isn't working.

We got it up and running. Are there any maps with bots for single player, or multi-player mode, or is it strictly multi-player networked or internet?

Thanks again for the help.
