I'm trying to update my Tribes 2 Linux client but I keep getting this error.

Any help would be nice. I've been posting on Tribes 2 message boards, support and community sites.

I've looked on google for the last 7 hrs.

Any ideas??

I have the same problem when trying to install Heretic2 1.06c or maps patch on my Fedora Core2 machine.

Try running the .run with --keep, then cancelling the update after the
README is listed. This will leave you with a directory with the whole
patch thing.

Then, download the loki_patch at http://www.icculus.org/~msphil/loki/x86/
and overwrite the one buried in the patch directory's hierarchy with this
binary.

Once that's done, run the (probably) update.sh immediately inside the
patch directory, and see if that works.


This worked for me.


Or create this script.

#!/bin/bash

INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/games/<your game>
TMPD=t2tmp

mkdir $TMPD

tail +179 <your game>-cdrom-x86.run | tar -C $TMPD -xvzf -
cd $TMPD
bin/Linux/x86/loki_patch patch.dat $INSTALLDIR
