Linux client hangs at checking firewall after September 4th update

[Norseman]

After receiving the September 4th update and clicking "enter game world" and verifying my client hangs at the checking firewall window, which remains gray until I kill the process. No error message is given. I then restored a previously functioning backup which gave me the same result after receiving the update. I am yet to reinstall anew. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and have included a screenshot of the above.

Seems like I have the same problem. Can't connect to Ra (or Horus), but Amun workes fine.

Try to remove all *.idx and *.sdb files from the Regnum folder.
It helped me in a similar situation last update.

I was just about to write that it didn't work, then the game suddenly started However, I did the following:

Moved the .idx and .sdb files to a backup folder and ran rolauncher, trying to log into Ra. Didn't work this time either, so I moved the files back and tried to run rolauncher again. It didn't start at first, but then it suddenly the game started! Wierd, huh.

Thanks Znurre!

After removing all *.idx and *.sdb files I now see the checking firewall window instead of a gray box, as displayed in the attached screenshot, but it still hangs there until I kill the process. However, I now get the following message after killing the process:

XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 42094 requests (42094 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I would suggest you to try and remove the whole Regnum folder, and reinstall the game.
Kathris Starsong had the same problem after upgrading from openSuSE 10.3 to openSuSE 11, and removing and reinstalling everything helped her.

If this doesn't work, I just hope that Surakor or Kailer can stop by this post and give you some advice.
