When will the characters.sdb hang be fixed? - Page 2

Here we go again.

I used the uninstall from onemynd's repos. Then went through and manually deleted everything Regnum.

Downloaded the 32bit Linux installer.
Worked like a charm the first time.
And the second.
And the third.

And BAM, it's hanging on the characters.sdb again.

Linux Mint 8 RC1
Phenom II Quad Core 3.0 CPU
4G DDR3
ATI onboard Radeon 3300

I'm going to try removing everything again and reinstalling with the repos.

Okay, I'm 'guessing' here, but it's fine until I do a second or third login/update. Is
there something else I'm missing?

ok ..again:

There is no reason to reinstall from the repo. Simply delete ~/regnum and relaunch

see.. the RO launcher and resources are compressed and stored in /opt/regnum-online. When /usr/bin/regnum-online sees that you dont have a client in ~/regnum it will unpack everything and build you a ~/regnum folder. Almost exactly the same as reinstalling.

Perhaps a silly question perhaps but have you tried deleting ~/regnum/live/characters.sdb ?

I'm trying it again. For some reason, it installs all the sdb and idx and live fils in Documents. So I copied them to another folder, removed the originals and it's apparently downloading again.

Does this mean I have to do this every 3rd or 4th time I play? Because that's how often this is happening. Doesn't matter if I use the repos or the .bin files to install, they both work great till the third or fourth time I play, then I get the .sdb hang all over again.

If you reboot your machine the /dev/shm may change back to root.root priv..
just change permission to other writeable ( chmod o+rw /dev/shm ).
On my setup thats the only thing that caused the lockup on character.sdb
But it may change back on restart...
