That is just a bug in Ark. It should still work fine.

Like I said, it's a bug in Ark, the files that appeared should still work fine.

Orly?

Delete all the extracted files. Extract again, to /home/apocalypse or wherever your home folder is. Ignore the error. Open a Konsole window and type:

Code: [Select]

cd ~
cd paintball2
./paintball2

Exe?

You sure you got the linux version?


And, you have to start it from the console, like I said in my 2nd last post. Unless you really want to learn stuff, you should probably just use windows, it's less compilcated :P

But the linux version doesn't have an extension (no ".exe"). Make sure you got the correct one on the files page.
