What operating system are you using? Did this happen inside a virtual machine?

Also, what is the processor architecture ?
If you're not running Windows, you may type uname -a in a terminal and paste the results here.

hi!
Sweet :
Did this happen inside a virtual machine?
yes.
I don't really know what to put on so I'm going to put everything on you:
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.0-19-686-pae
OS Type: 32-bit
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory: 5.4 Gio of RAM
Graphics Processor: llvmpipe
it's good?

Linux death 5.10.0-19-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 5.10.149-2 (2022-10-21) i686 GNU/Linux
help, please!

Ah! You're running a 32-bit Linux. We don't provide updater for 32-bit Linux, but we could provide an engine for it.
Is there a reason why the virtual machine is running a 32-bit Linux and not a 64-bit one?

hi!
you can give me a 32 bit version?
or can i Upgrade my machine to 64 bit?

To upgrade your virtual machine to 64-bit you'll have to entirely reinstall the virtual machine. I'll see if I find time to build a 32-bit engine.

You're lucky, I forgot I built one recently! 
Here is a 32-bit engine build for Linux: https://dl.illwieckz.net/j/linux-i686.zip
It's a pre-release build of the incoming 0.54 release but it should be compatible with the other files from the 0.53.2 release: https://dl.unvanquished.net/release/unvanquished_0.53.2.zip
You'll need both zip, unzip unvanquished_0.53.2.zip then put the content of linux-i686.zip in the unvanquished_0.53.2 folder (the daemon binary must be in the same folder of the readme and the pkg/ folder), this way:
Code: Select all
unvanquished_0.53.2/pkg/
unvanquished_0.53.2/README.txt
unvanquished_0.53.2/daemonRe: can't run the game

This is a humble goal to pursue. However, I doubt that there are many i686 Linux users left.
Maybe focussing on ARM would be wiser.
Edit: lol this actually exists.
