Hey guys, first post here.
2.4 is amazing so far, thanks guys. Although there is still the resolution change bug from 2.3 (game crashes on start after res change)
a restart after res change solves the problem.

Probably you did not play latest version of 2.4 as actual master version (& v2.4 branch) force you to restart the game when changing resolution, so the crash is avoided in all cases.
Please retry with a newer version (or wait a few weeks until v2.4 is finally released).

The version I got is from March 10th (IIRC)
Just to make sure we're on the same page, when I said "restart" I mean the PC, not the game.

You can find fresh .deb packages of our v2.4 Release Candidate for x86 (i386) and x86_64 (amd64) on the download page:

I downloaded, but I got this message from the package installer.

Code: [Select]

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libjpeg62 (>= 6b1)
Does that mean that libjpeg62 is to high of a version? Or is there something else wrong?



EDIT:
I am running Ubuntu 10.04

This means you need a version of libjpeg62 that is bigger or same like 6b1.
You should be able to find a bigger version in the standard Ubuntu 10.04 repos: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/libjpeg62
Try to install libjpeg62 via package manager.

Hmm...

Nope.  I checked, and I have libjpeg62 installed.  And I still get the same message. 

I tried re-installing it, and I tried restarting it.  But it is still giving the same message.

[MCR]

Hmm...

I have created a bug report and assigned it to our volunteer package creator accumulator.
I hope he can help soonish.

Edit: Seems accumulator moved it to feature requests ?! : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3514277&group_id=157793&atid=805245

Nevermind, according to this statement new packages have already been uploaded:

Seems like the new build is working.  I am installing it now.  (The libjpeg62 conflict did not re-occur)

[MCR]

Good news

Now, please also tell us that it starts, runs and plays better than ever before as well

[ferralll]

Thanks for all the help MCR and Accumulator

I started it up, and it seems to run fine.  It is a bit slower than 3.2, but then again, I have a slow computer.  I just need to adjust some of the graphics profiles, and re-tool a couple of the keyboard controls.  (The battle map movement is difficult because of the slowness, but I will change that soon.)

But I fooled around with the Geoscape, and did a quick battle, and so far I think it is looking like a great improvement!

I will post if I have any problems.

Hi! I was trying to install the i386 package on debian tablet. It uses Whezzy. I don´t know if the debian package that is on this page works on it. I used the installer but, it show me some errors. The "errors" are missing address. I belive that these are the address where the information is. I have full internet signal.

What can i do? I´m not a linux user, but my tablet comes with whezzy.
