Linux client not working

[PiAil]

Has anyone else problems with the Linux client ? I've tried to make it work with several Ubuntu version (14.04, 18.04, 19.04) and with two hypervisors (VMware and VirtualBox) and I couldn't. Depending on the hypervisor chosen, either it causes a crash or a freeze.

I've also tried to use the old client version provided in this guide, but it freezes in the "Checking for updates" part.

The Windows client works well at least, but it seems harder to exploit the VM.

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 18.04 on VMware Workstation 15 (VMware tools installed). I hoped it would be an issue because my Ubuntu version is newer, but since you've tested it on 14.04... that's strange.

with the newer versions i was not able to run the client supplied from the site( i couldn't get the one in the repo to connect to the server before and after the libssl fix_ because of libssl 1 not being supported , i acquired the old libssl and ran into a different issue with opengl , turns out that the version required for the game is not supported in virtualbox. I am going to run the client on my windows main and see if that works instead.

i got the game working in windows with the server in virtual box using this information if it helps.
server.ini
[MasterServer]
Hostname=PwnMaster.com
Port=3333

[GameServer]
Hostname=game.pwn3
Port=3000
Username=dskamsdjk90fuasfj
Password=dfkjansf787

hostfile windows
game server data does not matter it will always request game.pwn3 regardless of what the value is.

192.168.6.19 PwnMaster.com
192.168.6.19 game.pwn3

use virtualbox host only and if using wireshark attach it to virtualbox host-only adapter.

@victorwitkamp thedarkvessle
Can you be more specific about what you did?
What version Ubuntu (14/16/18) did you run on the vm?
How did you get around the opengl issue that you mentioned two comments up?

[brandonsay95]

@chupacca I did not resolve the opengl issue, you cannot run that version of opengl in a vm, there's a hard restriction . i used my windows pc to play the game and the newest version of Ubuntu(Vm) to run the server.

I was getting a SIGABRT on Arch LInux without any error message.
I was able to run the game navigating to the official PwnAdventure site and downloading their Linux client (maybe they updated something).
https://www.pwnadventure.com/PwnAdventure3_Linux.zip
The binary requested for the library openssl-1.0 (old binary). Using Arch I was able to download it from AUR:
sudo paru -S openssl-1.0
