[Linux] Why wasn't 64bit targeted?

SlickMcRunFast · August 2013

Looking at steam stats, most Linux gamers run 64bit. In my opinion it just seems like a waste of time to support only people who like 3.2 GB of ram. Just venting because I can't play the game yet. libudev.so.0 missing and segfaults when I link to libudev.so.1.

Install the needed multilibs and you are fine :-). But I also would be happy about a 64bit version I had to compile many libs and all of them are gnome and gtk libs... I am using QT (KDE) -_- but NS2 is running now well, with some minor issues. As I can see you are using a Debian based Distribution so install ia32-libs or ia32-libs-multiarch I am not aware how it will be called in your ubuntu version but google will help (http://askubuntu.com/questions/288821/cannot-open-shared-object-file-libudev-so-0-in-ubuntu-64) maybe also :-).

The libraries in question are part of the steam run time context. You need to run the game through steam.
