hi guys,
I just installed the game on my eeepc running eeeXubuntu (an normal xubuntu with the e3pc drivers)

when i try to start the game, (sudo ./vendetta) i get the updater window. but if i then press playgame (after all the update stuff)

the window crashes, and my terminal says
Fatal Error: Couldn't open window.

any suggestions?

btw: how would i uninstall the game? didnt find anything about that yet :P

ps: im a linux noob so please dont hit me for my wrongs :P

According to this thread http://vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/6/18254
the game may not run at all on that thing.

Don't use sude to start the game.

Segementation fault (core dumped)

it crashed. that message means that it tried to access some memory that it isn't allowed to.

How exactly did you install the game? With what command?

im not quite sure but i think i installed it as root...

edit: could you tell me how to uninstall the game ?

To uninstall delete the .vendetta directory and bin/vendetta in your home directory. Since you installed it as root you may to do that as root as well.

The game isn't supposed to be installed as root, maybe that's what's causing problems.
Even if you get it to run the minimum resolution is 800x600. With some luck it might work with a larger virtual desktop but that'd still kind of suck.
