[Solved Linux] Cant connect to any server

Purge

First :

I am so happy that NS2 gets Linux port

But I cant connect to any server

I get this error : "Your game files do not match the server's.Try verifying your game cache in Steam , or maybe an update just came out "

After reinstalling and verifying the error still appears

I read that the mods can be the Problem. So I deactivated all. But i cant unsubcribe and i cant delete the mods

wiry

Id like to add that i am experiencing the same issue and will be monitoring this thread closely.

Same issue here. Also i cannot seem to get the game working locally either. I only get a black screen.

Edit: Works great after starting steam with "LANG=en_US steam". I get descent FPS with most stuff turned low or off. GJ UWE!!!!!!!111!!

Im on OpenSuse 12.3. Also got black screen after the map has loaded. Where did you put "LANG=en_US steam"?

open up a console/terminal and enter 'LANG=en_US /usr/bin/steam&' and press enter.

What that does is, setting the LANG variable to en_US (basically telling (in this case) steam that it is running on a computer with an US American region setting so that a . in a number get's treated as a ,) for just this console session (meaning, it only applies to stuff happening inside the terminal). The second part /usr/bin/steam tells the console (or bash/shell) to execute a certain file, in this case, Steam, which's binary is located in /usr/bin. The 3rd part (added by me), the &, tells the console to run the program in 'background', if you wouldn't do that, there'd be a lot of stuff printed out onto your terminal window.
