Sonofabitch. He's not one to read the fourms and might never have updated the zone list after everything went down. I think tommygun might have his e-mail. I'll see if he can't be contacted.

Well, you know I've got a Windows 95 PC back in Houston. Problem being I'm not in Houston at the moment, and to plug it in I have to squirm like a fish under the desk unplugging and plugging in tangled cables. Apart from visiting my family right now, I'm trying to finish up things to get my masters degree. Going out of my way to play SubSpace isn't really an opition. What really miffs me though is the fact that, out of all the SubSpace players on Linux, I'm the only one that crawled out of the woodwork on this one. I'm looking at you, Cool Dad.

I'm about to drive to Florida from Houston right now, so I think I'll wait. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but thanks again for working on this long standing problem, JoWie.

OK. So I drunkenly tried figuring this out with my laptop and PC about two weeks ago, and got so confused I decided it best not to post at the time. Most of my notes in Leafpad have disappeared, and I'm not posting the terminal file where I tried to download the dependencies for Wine 1.6.1 so I could go back to it. Likewise, I couldn't figure out how to install Wine 1.5. Long story short, I was wrong. I was running Wine 1.6.1 on Lubuntu 13.10. It automatically upgraded to 1.6.2 when I upgraded to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. I can also say that Continuum won't run on Lubuntu 13.10 and Wine 1.7.18, or Lubuntu 14.04 and Wine 1.7.19. I'll post more when I get time to look into this again. Edit: I did a little bit more research tonight. With Lubuntu 14.04, I tried loading Wine 1.7.20. On my system, the patched kernel32.so.dll file prevents Wine 1.7.20 from running at all. No Configure Wine. No Notepad. Reverting to the stock kernel32.so.dll solves the problem.

JoWie, I really appreciate you trying to help me with this. It's taking me a while to reply to your comments because most of the the stuff you're talking about it is way over my head. I'll try and learn what some of these programs and acronyms are over the next few days so I can give an intelligible response. In the mean time, I think I've found a laptop without Wine or Continuum on it that is running Lubuntu 13.10. If so, I'll see what I can find out with the extra set of hardware.

Sorry for the slow response, JoWie. I wanted to do a search through bugs.winehq.org/ rather than say, "I dunno." Searched for "openprocess", "continuum", and "subspace". The answer is yes, and no. The closest report to what you are talking about is here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22006 . It looks as though nobody gives a flying fuck, since the bug has been open for over four years. It's also mentioned here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21702 although that's not about OpenProcess so much as Continuum acting up. I have to also say I don't know what all this "OpenProcess" and "PROCESS_VM_WRITE" stuff is. My programming knowledge is just enough to get by with computations in Mathematica, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and VBA Edit: Tried to fix the second link, but I can't figure it out.

I can't get it running on Linux, or Continuum for that matter now. (I couldn't get the resizer running in Linux when Continuum would run.) I'd imagine Mac's would have similar problems. Giving some error messages out might help folks with similar problems help troubleshoot, GHOST251. That Aquitas screenshot is mindblowing.

Ah, I logged in earlier and tried the correct old password three times before trying my SSC password. Best of luck with the other stuff you've got going on.

No, it's not supposed to work unpatched. Thanks for the offer though, JoWie. I thought there were more SubSpace players on Linux. If I find anything else about my problem on my own, I'll be sure to post it. If anyone else wants to give it a go, it was working with Wine 1.6.2 in Lubuntu 13.10 and won't work in 14.04 with this file replaced: http://www.subspace.co/topic/26553-please-someone-update-continuum-40-for-linux-how-to/?p=283626

I'm starting to think this has something to do with LXDE, not Ubuntu. I'd really appreciate anyone else using Ubuntu just telling me you don't have a problem. I'm honestly losing my mind over the lack of replies here. Also, is there anyway to let me fix the title to what I meant to put so it doesn't sound so retarded?

Just a little update on this. I uninstalled and reinstalled Wine and Continuum, and I rereplaced kernel32.dll.so with doc flabby's modified version in case the upgrade fucked it up. Result? Continuum doesn't open at all. It pops up for a moment in Task Manager and then it's gone. So it changed at least. That's good? I'm pulling my hair out over this. Nobody else is having this problem? Could someone please tell me they're not having this problem with Ubuntu 14.04 so I can only look at changed files pertaining to Lubuntu?

The title should read Upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 from 13.10--No Continuum. I edited the title right before I posted and somehow left the important information out, sorry. I updated Lubuntu. Trying to open Continuum now has Continuum.exe showing up in Task Manager and CPU usage jumping to and staying at 100%, but no Continuum window appears. Multiple instances of Continuum.exe can be run. This used to give an error from Wine. Notepad opens fine using Wine. My current Wine version is 1.6.2. Is anyone else having issues after updating?

Yes, it does, Cheese. It assigns left or right to be input to the game using the difference in the mouse pointers angle from center and the ships current angle.

D'oh, I wish I had seen this comment two months ago before everyone flooded with SSC going offline. As of a week or so ago, this has been patched. Only WINE users were affected. Haha, I don't even remember posting that, and I'm usually not that much of an asshole. Hindsight's 20/20 right? Definitely a fun zone.

Widows? SubSpace players are dead? Ouch.

I actually screwed it up with beer. Forgot to take turns that pass an angle of zero into account. I'll fix it if Marioman wants a double check on the maths. Yeah, any inverse trig function will do. Just got to set your bounds right. As for input on whether this would be helpful, I've always played with a keyboard. I can't even imagine tracking with a mouse. But that does seem to be how all those newfangled browser games prefer to do it.

Crescendo and I had a conversation in Chaos yesterday about this with a loud mouth Cosmic Rift player. With Continuum Resizer all you need to do is: Get mouse coords (x,y) (with Cartesian origin at top left) Get ship angle Convert ship angle to radians Get resolutionx Get resolutiony a=resolutionx/2 b=resolutiony/2 If (y-b ) is greater or equal to 0 If arccos((y-b)/sqrt((x-a)^2+(y-b )^2)) >ship angle, rotate CCW If arccos((y-b)/sqrt((x-a)^2+(y-b )^2)) If (y- <0 If (arccos((y-b)/sqrt((x-a)^2+(y- ^2)+pi) >ship angle, rotate CCW If (arccos((y-b)/sqrt((x-a)^2+(y- ^2)+pi) Bam, done. Edit:Fucking emoticons. They are all , and I don't know how to change them. Edit 2: is the letter b followed by a closing parenthesis.

Is your PC is an Amiga or C64, No_Remorse? No excuse otherwise.

Woo-hoo! Axe, I'm gonna guess you're posting in the wrong thread?

Thanks for responding, PoLiX. I'm with Gruntster and ADeathAngel. I didn't think this was going to bother me at all. But it does.

Zones've been down for two weeks. Someone with a semblance of information update us. I'm starting to worry.

The big disadvantage of switching to ASSS now would be the total lack of transitioning.

This is all I got from the list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eUPIcvZn4I Then, naturally this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cxWdnuOIMU I've found the solution. We need to start selling beer in the Chaos Pub arena.

You didn't show, fool!

Thanks again for the extra work you're doing to keep us informed in every way possible.
