update failed and the game won't run when i hit "play Vendetta"

Mar 22, 2010 wintermute0 link
in the updater is says: "Latest version: vendetta-1.8.119
Patching version vendetta-1.8.82 to vendetta-1.8.119...
can't open drivers/gkgl.so! aborting!"

i don't know why the game won't run, maybe because the update failed? how do i fix this?

Could do an "ls -l ~/.vendetta/drivers/gkgl.so" and post what it says?

Did you by any chance install the game with sudo?

yeah, sudo with the terminal.

You will have to change the owner of ~/.vendetta/ and ~/bin/vendetta to your own then ..or just delete those and reinstall without sudo.

I didnt install as sudo, and am having a similar problem... the updater gets to 32% and freezes, then restarts. havent been able to get to the root of the problem for my install, but so far no luck...

godz, that issue sounds different; I would make a different thread and take a look at the error logs.
