New version 1.3.6 does not update via SteamOS on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

Star Conflict 1.3.6 “Spring task marathon” does not update via SteamOS client on Linux (Ubuntu 15.10, 16.04 LTS). Starting the game directly w/o SteamOS will result in notice to download the newest Windows .exe version (1.3.6) of the game.

 

Game freezes before login box appeares.

 

Old script :

!/bin/bash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/star\ conflict/
echo “212070” > steam_appid.txt
./StarConflict

 

gives old game version, despite of purge and deinstall of old version, and new install of Steam for Ubuntu and new download of Star Conflict via Steam client.

 

Btw, I cannot find a downloadable Star Conflict 1.3.6 launcher via google on WWW.

 

Please fix the probably corrupted paths to the new patch.

 

Do we need an new  steam_appid.txt > “212070” ??

 

Please publish a link to download the new Linux client for Star Conflict.

* Now a window of steam shows up , go to and left-mouse-click:

     > LIBRARY > STEAMOS + LINUX > Star Conflict > Install

  after install of Star Conflict has been finished do not click > Play!!! Let steam window run in background, but do not touch anything at this point.

 

* Save the following script to /home/username/

!/bin/bash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:~/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/star\ conflict/
echo “212070” > steam_appid.txt
./StarConflict

 

* While steam in window is still running in background, open new terminal and start the script:

username@host-name:~$ ~/SC.sh
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 212070
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID:  Caching Steam ID:  76561198166468267 [API loaded no]

 

:006j:  Et voila!! Your Star Conflict on SteamOS + Linux is running

 

You will get the intro, since the game has not loaded your user profile and custom settings.

To get your custom setting back, do in game:

Main > Options > Account > Server:Synchronize

 

Now you will get your custom key-bindings etc.pp. back!

 

Have fun!!     :snowgirl:
