When did you download the demo, and which mirror did you use. It seems like you got the old demo installer (we pushed an update to the installer to fix that segfault)

The filesize should be 118645058 with an md5sum of dfd6d958c3ef8360577767f320059b76

I downloaded the demo yesterday from http://www.penumbra-overture.com/demo.php and clicked on the Atomic Gamer link. I'll try to download from elsewhere later today and report.

Sigh, the one I downloaded from http://www.gameupdates.org/details.php?id=2430 is also an older version. Is there somewhere I can download from that will not give me the old version?

Ok, I'm now downloading from the same site, http://www.gameupdates.org/details.php?id=2429 and the file is 2567 instead of 2553. Can you guys please update your links?

Hmm, that's a Black Plague link, not the Overture. Oh well.

We are bugging the mirrors to get them to put out the updated version.. (not sure why they haven't updated it)

A workaround is to run
sh ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh --target PenumbraInstall --noexec
cd PenumbraInstall
rm ./bin/linux/x86/linux.so.6/libstdc++.so.6/gtk.lzma
./starupinstaller.sh

Or for a "less work" workaround.. just run
DISPLAY= sh ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh
Though this will run in text mode only.

This issue does NOT exist with the full version installer that you receive when you purchase the game.

Thanks, it works now. If only it worked as nice as the Mac version though. Sometimes the demo would run in Window Mode at the full resolution of my monitor, and stops my mouse from working. I have to kill X (ctrl-alt-Backspace) to get my mouse working again. Run it after that, things worked perfectly, run it a second time, have to kill X again.

A similar thing happened when I run the demo on my Compaq Presario F500 laptop with Ubuntu Hardy 32bit installed.

hmm.. interesting.. Are you running anything like Compiz? (3d effects) I've noticed it will compiz will sometimes cause those results.
