farna Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Okay, I'm new to ET. I probably won't be a weekly player, just occasional so won't be applying for clan membership. When I try to play I keep getting bumped by PB. Error #20004, Game integrity. I'm using Linux Mint 8 (based on Ubuntu Helena), quad core AMD processor, 4 GB RAM. Been trying to get on "Noobs Forever". Will be making a donation to keep the servers going, won't be playing enough for a VIP membership. I got on a different server ONCE, but can't seem to get on anything again. Have broadband connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have broadband connection. hmm linux and pb error #20004, I had it too in the past if I remember correctly, on linux I have 2 folders: ~/.etwolf/pb/ and /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/pb/ You need to update your pb, I think the folder in your home folder is the one you need to update, i.e. run pbweb from there, I don't remember how I solved anymore. And also make sure all the permissions are ok. I don't think you need to reinstall et, since that is rarely (never?) needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farna Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) I don't think I HAVE a PB folder! I got the game from www.playdeb.net. Says it's version 2.60b+pb2.213-1~getdeb1. I did install pb, but darned if I can find a folder anywhere. Looked in my home folder and in usr/games, and everywhere else I could think of. I'm relatively new to Linux, been using it for about a year, but with Mint you don't have to mess around with the system much. Not too familiar with the files system, which is a bit screwy compared to Windows. I know, Windows file system seems screwed up to long time Linux users -- just what ya get used to. I REALLY find the messages that I can't do this or that annoying, but understand the danger of running as "super user" all the time... I tried going to the PB website and figured I could just reinstall PB, but apparently not. Did get the HTML update files, just got to figure out where the heck it wants them. One other question -- the game tries to start the Lynx browser when I try to view the manual or it tries to open any web page. Any easy way to change that, or am I better off just to install Lynx? One last thing -- Mint 8 is based on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, Linux 2.6.31, Gnome 2.28 and Xorg 7.4. PlayDeb says ET is available for Ubuntu: 10.04, 10.10. Could be part of the problem?

Clan Friend SunLight Posted January 4, 2011 Clan Friend Share Posted January 4, 2011 I am new to linux too, and I use a different distro (fedora 13), so maybe some linux expert can give you some better advice, anyway: in my pb folder I have a file called pbweb.x86, that's used to update pb, maybe you can try a: find / -name pbweb.x86 | less to check if you have one too, and where it is, but maybe you didn't install pb correctly? pbsetup.run, I think you can get it here: http://www.evenbalan...age=pbsetup.php some say to run: upx -d pbsetup.run to unpack it, but I don't think i did it when I installed et. Then, after you install pb you should have a pb folder, copy it to your home folder too (together with etmain, etc.) and update pb again from there using pbweb.x86.

farna Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 That did it Sunlight! It's in usr/share/games/enemy-territory. Now maybe I can update PB and play! Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Friend SunLight Posted January 6, 2011 Clan Friend Share Posted January 6, 2011 nice, if you still have problems you can copy it to your home folder too, and update from there as well. That's what I did when I got kicked every time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farna Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) I may have to do just that (move files to home folder). I put the updated HTM files in the HTM folder, but "Noobs Forever" still kicked me off with a 20004 "Game Integrity" error. I got on another server with no problems though. I hadn't restarted the whole computer after the update, maybe that had something to do with it. Will find out later.
