Kyutsuru Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago Hi everyone, having serious trouble updating. I run Linux (Ubuntu 6.17.0-20-generic) and did the procedure on the wiki page (https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Installing_the_game_on_Linux#Updating_the_game) to install the game in the first place. This got me version 1.21.1 and I've not been able to update ever since, I tried using the install.sh as reccommended on the above linked wiki page but it straight-up seems to not work. After some experimentation I eventually gave up and resolved to just continue playing on 1.21.1. Anyway, my friend recently invited me to a server but of course they're running 1.22.1, so I reignited the search to work out how to get the update to actually work and have as of yet had no luck. I'll be honest, I've no clue what I'm doing so if someone could walk me through how they install updates it would be much appreciated (I can't be the only one running Ubuntu here lol)
Diff Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago When you say it doesn't work, what are you seeing? It runs successfully but nothing changes, does it spew out any errors saying what went wrong? How are you running install.sh?
wildforester Posted 17 hours ago Report Posted 17 hours ago What has worked for me is going to the vintagestory install directory and replacing all the files with the new update from the tar.gz. For me the directory is at /home/user here/.local/share/vintagestory/ may be different between ubuntu and fedora. I use a non-flatpak install.
Kyutsuru Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Posted 7 hours ago Hi guys, sorry for the slow response. Wasn't expecting anyone to reply so quickly and ended up going to bed. I've tried a number of different ways of running install.sh, firstly the obvious, double clicking on it and clicking run (nothing happens) click run in terminal (sometimes the terminal briefly opens for like...a millisecond but normally it doesn't even do that) I've tried opening the terminal, navigating to the directory in which install.sh is, and then running it direct through the terminal; terminal claims it doesn't exist. About to try Wildforester's solution to see if it works, but I don't know if it will as I'm using the flatpak install and I don't know where the raw files end up when you do that.
Kyutsuru Posted 7 hours ago Author Report Posted 7 hours ago Okay, going into .local/share/vintagestory. All that's there for me is the install.sh, run.sh and three desktop files (all empty, I tried opening them in text editor for clues to where the executables might be). There's also the tarball for 1.21.4 which I think I put there when trying this before, when attempting to install 21.4. Another thing I forgot to add on my previous reply, I use cinnamon now but back when I was using gnome for some reason attempting to run install.sh would somehow corrupt the entire folder it was kept in (to the point of nuking my downloads folder at one point, lol). I'm guessing that some difference in the way Nemo handles directories vs Nautilus stops this from happening? But either way that doesn't happen anymore
