Topic: Game launches, but doesn't load properly

Hi all

I have had a look through the forums and documentation, but can't see anyone having the same issue as me.

Firstly, I am running Ubuntu Jaunty with all updates applied.  I have an NVidia 9600GT 1024mb and am using the 180 drivers.  OpenGL is fine as I can play WoP, ioquake etc.. 

I downloaded http://teeworlds.com/files/teeworlds-0. … x86.tar.gz and extracted it to it's own folder /home/me/Games/teeworlds-0.5.1-linux_x86 and launched it.  It launches, goes full screen and I get a grey background, a loading bar and then what I assume to be the menu contains no text whatsoever.  Also, there is no settings file created.

This is the first time I have downloaded TeeWorlds..do I need to download an older version and then upgrade perhaps?

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

How do you start Teeworlds?
Did you extract it properly?

Where have you looked for the settings file? It should be in ~/.teeworlds

Ahh... it's ok, I was launching it from a Symbolic link to the teeworlds binary.  When I launch it from the folder directly it is no problem.

Re: Game launches, but doesn't load properly

You can make a simple shell script instead of a symbolic link:

#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/teeworlds
./teeworlds
