[Linux] v217 client unplayable, says "download latest version"

Finally got the program running on my 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 18.04 dual-monitor system in windowed mode.  But when I login, it says "Please download the latest version".  I'm running v217 which seems to be the latest version available from my download page.

The log says this:

L4 | Mon Jun 10 21:25:23 2019 (214 ms) | general | OneLife client v217 (binV=216, dataV=217) starting up

Is the problem maybe that binV=216?  Do I have to compile from source?  The game looks awesome and I'd love to play it but I'm starting to get discouraged.

The two versions are the program (binary) version and game data version, which are pretty much always different. Game is currently 238/239. On windows the game will auto update on login.

I found one code path that will fail the update if it was unable to write an update file. File permissions perhaps?

Everything in that directory is owned by my user and writable, so I don't think it's permissions.  Where can I go to download version 238/239 manually?  The download link in the most recent email only has 217.

afaik Jason publishes an old version and counts on auto update.

The data is pretty much copied from the repo, or soft linked in some dev scenarios

https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7

Mod clients publish recent binaries. I think Awbz and Whatever have linux builds

https://github.com/Awbz/OneLife/releases
https://github.com/hetuw/OneLife/releases

They expect auto update to be working though, so you may have to manually edit binary.txt

Re: [Linux] v217 client unplayable, says "download latest version"

Thanks for the links, wondible.  I tried both of the modded clients.  OneLife+ says I have to download the update with the unmodded client first, and the other one complains "Version Mismatch:  Client 240 -- Server 452984831".  I even tried downloading via Steam but it says the platform is not supported.  I'm wondering at this point if anyone is able to play the game using the Linux client.  Is there a way to contact Jason directly?

That server number seems very wrong, I'd expect 240, more likely 241. Are you sure you didn't set a custom server at some point?

Jason has posted an email on the forums a few times.  jasonrohrer AT fastmail.fm

Jason uses the Linux client, afaik.
