    I have the similar issue under Fedora 16 x86_64. Full log:

    According to curl documentation:
    That confuses me even more :-) I can provide dump of tcp session if needed. I tried to download those files with wget and it was successful.

    Interesting. Unfortunately I don't know how MM is using curl for the autoupdate functionality - but I'm glad that workaround got you playing

    Not really. I can play under Ubuntu but that problem happens under Fedora x86_64. And the interesting part is that ldd output is different. I can dump strace or ltrace log if that can help.

    yeah, 64-bit is a whole different animal. Do you have ia32-libs installed (I'm guessing so, otherwise I don't think you would have even gotten the binary to run)

    Hopefully within the next few months we'll have .deb and .rpm packages for various debian-alike and RHEL-alike distros and versions.

    Just tried under fedora 16 x86. Game started but did not autoupdated - got curl error 28. Probably that's something fedoraspecific.

    code 28 is timeout, can you post the console logs from this failure?

    Also if you try "telnet kag2d.com 80" please post the output of that when it connects or times out (everything from you typing the command onward)

    That's a remote machine and now it's offline (will get it at Friday). I tried to download the file with wget and it was successful. I'll try once more and will be able to dump whple http session with wireshark.

    Dumping to wireshark would be awesome. If you put a filter on it, please make sure that it includes IPv4 and IPv6, and port 80 as well as 443. and dns.

    Ideally don't use a capture filter, and just try to make sure all other programs are closed. If you are able to reproduce the timeout with wireshark running, please save it to a pcap and you can e-mail the file to me so I can look.

    Just tried under fedora 32bit, works perfectly! The game autoupdated and ran smooth as usual!

    Fedora 64bit has the same problem (curl error 42).

    I am running 64bit Fedora (17) with a NVIDIA GPU After installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686, KAG started working fine.
    Initially, however, I was getting the same error which wasn't caused by curl but rather by Irrlicht failing
    (see the "No doublebuffering available, Fatal error ...") which then caused the curl thread to shut down, too -- resulting in this error.
    So, make sure that your OpenGL libraries etc are installed for 32bit, too, when running KAG on a 64bit system.

    Besides, are you aware that you seem to be violating the libcurl license terms?
    I can not find a copy of the license shipped with KAG (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html) ?!

    Thanks, I'll make sure we distribute the lib/curl license starting with the next update

    Hello everybody. Just thought it would be a good idea to share my workaround. This is for people with amd64 debian derivatives mounting nvidia cards and with x64 nvida drivers installed. If that's you, just run:

    Code:
    sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-ia32
    That should get you up and running.

    See you around.
