    So I wanted to see if I could get kag running on my uni's computers.
    I am met with the following on startup:
    Code:
    Game DLL initialized.
    Changing game working directory to './Base/'

      Resource id in failed request:  0x3c00003
      Serial number of failed request:  33
      Current serial number in output stream:  35
    Any ideas what might be the cause? I suspect I will not be able to resolve this but would like to run it by the community first :)

    Haha yes I really should have looked before posting. It was early, I was sleepy :p

    However, that thread is of no use as the only fix was to 'use the latest version' which was a few versions ago.
    I have quite limited access on the uni machines and am unable to do anything with the drivers or install any packages so I suspect I will not be able to resolve this. I'm not there right now and all I can remember is that they run some version fedora (I think 14).

    I do like the idea of establishing a post format though.
