Hi Brandon!
The graphical glitches I experienced before was on my old laptop which used a integrated card, recently upgarded to a N-vidia now. I run Ubuntu 64bit version.

I have give the game another bash and have a couple of suggestions.

Upon downloading and trying to run the game it reported that it was missing a library namely libalut.so.0 are you not able to package this library with the game? Anyways I installed the library not a problem.

Second attempt, I am using 64bit Ubuntu so i attempted to run the 64bit executable but unfortunately in the terminal reported the following error
rustybolts@Rustybolts-Aspire-5742G:~$ '/home/rustybolts/Downloads/Helena the 3rd Demo/Helena64'
[ERROR] "Models/hero.md2" could not be opened0x8e9ae8Segmentation fault

Third attempt although I am using 64bit Ubuntu 32bit programs are compatible with the relevant 32bit libraries installed so i gave the 32bit executable a shot, which seemed to work with no problems.

Hope this helps!

Wow that is weird. I honestly know almost nothing about developing for Linux. I don't know how you'd package a library in an executable (put it all in a .deb?).

About the missing file, yea, sounds like it's not able to load in one of the models, but I checked that it's in there. And it works for me. So I don't know if that's a permissions issue or what, thanks for letting me know about it!

Anyway, I honestly patched this game up mostly for you, so I'm glad you got it working in the end :) I can rest and be happy now. Let me know what you think of it sometime!

I could always delete the reddit link if you want me to
Brandon Smith Mar 31, 2011
No that's fine. It will be good to have the feedback. Did you post on reddit before? There was a time when the game was getting a lot of views, and I couldn't figure out where they were coming from.
