Make sure you are checking both version dates. There is both an application date, and an updater date (which I think is the same as the installer). At least on the Win/Mac versions. I would assume the same for Linux.
The date you see on the launch screen is the application date. Their is a separate date shown on the updater screen when you are running it. Please check and see if that's true for Linux as well.

The first time was in post #103 (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post539412)
but it seems that the updates are not very well advertized.
I agree with @Jiminimonka, the 1st post should be edited every time a new update goes by.

No way of knowing if the launcher has had an update from the .deb file - and some of use are not using Ubuntu so having an update on the first thread (along with a message saying its been updated so we get an email as thread-subs) would be of great help, especially since we are TESTING it. I've been testing the same build since 4th September.

LordEntrails,
I'm new to fantasy grounds, and I think applications that update themselves are strange and alien. We invented repositories, yum, apt-get and the rest to avoid the horrors of RPM hell. But I understand that FGU both (1) comes from windows world and (2) has way more DLC content than most applications. So forgive me if have a few missteps
I see the 4th as the date in the updater, and the 8th as the date in the launcher.
Jiminimonka,
Smelton said there was an update on the 8th. See comment #135 in this thread. At this point I'm not sure what was updated but FGU started working on Ubuntu 20.04 with that change.

To be clear, I'm not saying the first post shouldn't be updated or any other type of version indications would not be wise. Just letting you know what I know about the general FG environment
Also, you funny penguin people like to and understand repositories, version control, etc. Most FG users are casual PC/Mac users and don't know or care about any of that. They just "want it to work" as easily as possible So, remember, the devs have always had to deal with that mindset as first and foremost.
Again, that's not to say how it's currently being done is the best way or the way it is going to be. Just educating and then you all can let SmiteWorks know what you would prefer. IMO, they are good at listening to the community.

Fedors 32 here; If I install through Steam, it will install and then error out launching, complaining that it cannot find the executable/path. If I install via the Debian package ( using alien -i *.deb ) ; it installs fine and I can start it ; but it hangs forever after I put in my login credentials. Let me know if any logs would be helpful for anyone, and keep up the great work ( I'm so excited )
*** Edit
I have moved the folder from the install dir /usr/share/smiteworks to my home directory and fixed the permission. It would still hang at the login screen, so I did a bit of digging and apparently , it can't find ca-certificates.crt in /etc/ssl/certs on Fedora. So I grabbed one from somewhere and just copied it there, and I was then able to login. But of course this is all too good to be true, and it really wants the files to be in /usr/share/smiteworks So having put them back, everything seems to be working now. ( well I get to the main splash screen , and it just hangs there )Last edited by roncioiu; September 19th, 2020 at 04:21.
