Unable to start single-player level while not connected to Internet

sort
JasonMel 5 years ago After the most recent update, if I am not connected to the Internet, then when I start a single-player mission, I am presented with a blank level with no units or buildings, and a yellow button labeled "Ready". The only thing that happens when I click that button is that it disappears. Game time counts forward, and I can pause normally, but no units or buildings are visible or selectable. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 5 years ago Can you check the integrity of your install? It sounds like it is trying to use an old game version on a new engine. +0 / -0
Nitekiller 5 years ago Hello I installed the game yesterday on a laptop running Ubuntu (Linux) using the instructions in the wiki of this website and I have exactly the same problem. When the game is ready, there is nothing but the map, not even the green areas to start whereveryou want and I don't have the commander menu....(tested yesterday night) If it's an old version which one is the new one? Thank you for your help :) +0 / -0

RedRiot 5 years ago I just noticed I posted my reply in the wrong browser tab. Sorry, meant to post it here. Apologies about the re-post: I am having the same problem. I just submitted a bug report, but I had some more potentially relevant details. I wanted to add that I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Zero-k via Steam client. Problem persisted. Tried verifying file integrity: reports 2 files are bad and will be reacquired. It does so, or does something anyway since a second check of the files finds nothing. Launch game; attempt to start a campaign level or skirmish; problem persists. Close game; check files again; 2 bad files found; rinse and repeat. Still happening 3 tries later. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 5 years ago It should be fixed now. We think that something within the Spring engine infrastructure broke the incremental game updater, so the correct version could not be fetched. Singleplayer did not know which version to run so it defaulted to a two year old version of Zero-K. This version is unable to run correctly on the latest engine version. +1 / -0
Nitekiller 5 years ago (edited 5 years ago) This makes sense, I will try tonight, do it will be updated automatically? thank you again +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 5 years ago It is, it is a steam update. +0 / -0
Nitekiller 5 years ago Even when you didn't install the game via steam? +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 5 years ago Probably? If you see "updating zkmenu:stable" then it should be able to get the latest version. +0 / -0
Nitekiller 5 years ago Yes, then I guess it will work, thank you very much for fixing this. +0 / -0
Astran 5 years ago My entire ZK doesn't want to start. It tried to update, couldn't and now it says "this app won't run on your PC" Do I need to reinstall everything again? I can't even remember where I got the original files :O +0 / -0
JasonMel 5 years ago This appears fixed after another update. Thank you very much! That's a relief, since I always play offline (so far). +0 / -0
