Shank 2 for Linux

[Nanthiel]

For the original poster: Can you please change the title of this into something like "Can't extract archive Shank 2 for Linux" so that more people can easier identify it? I think there will be a lot of comments here Soon... I hope a fix will also come Soon. I actually bought the Indie Bundle for this game only.

I had no problems unpacking the archive. But seems it's a more common issue than the missing file. I don't know why I didn't get an error. Will update the title.

@Nanthiel - You have the same problem as we do. Some GUI archiving tool may suppress the error, or just show something neutral message. I was also able to extract a lot of file, but at some point it just can't find / extract the rest of the files. This is when the error appears in the console and this is why you had no executable.

I used 'tar -xf $fname' in the shell. But I tried it again now and I do get the same error that was mentioned. I must have been so eager to play the game before that I simply ignored output.

Yes I get the Error too on my Ubuntu 12.10 64Bit.

C'mon Klei Entertainment don't you test these things???

I was really looking forward to this game and now this!!

Hey all,

We're currently working with the Humble Bundle team to try to address this situation.

We're planning to make an updated Linux package available later this morning which should solve the problem.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Great to hear that. Please leave here a message when it's done so we start downloading again.

Afternoon all, there is an updated version of Shank 2 Linux available now which should hopefully extract and function correctly.

Thanks so much for your patience!

Still getting the same extract error after downloading again. Below is the error:


gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Thank you, this works great.

For all! I got the archive in the torrent. To start a game, do the following steps. Open your console in the current folder archive game and type:

gunzip shank2-Linux-b10.tar.gz
Konsole freezes for a few minutes. Decompression in the process. Аfter

tar xvf shank2-Linux-b10.tar
This will create a folder named Shank 2. Go to the / bin and run shank2-bin. Enjoy.

PS. I forgot to say I have Kubuntu 12.04. Should work for all versions _ubutnu 12.04.
