project zomboid - installation Thread - Desura

Hello.
I'm trying to install my PZ fanboy edition.
OS is linux 64 bit (Ubuntu 13.04).
I cannot install PZ: desurium says "branch invalid or no permissions".
It is the first install, how am I supposed to fix this?
Thanks.

same problem

I Have a Linuxmint 12 (Liza) and I bought the game and when i hit to play it ... it doesnt work... what can i do ?

I have over 20 years SA experience. I deal with java programmers on tomcat day in and day out. I cant get it to run. This game doesnt work, as is, under linux. Dont buy it. Personally I rated it a 1 because I think I have been scammed or its a ripoff. At least on linux. Even the build log files show windows and java, while supposedly being cross platform, fact is, isnt.

Also if you have to use steam then WTF(tm) are they offering it on Desura. I really get sick of the "Use steam" diatribe.

After hours of "dink"ing around:

The scripts do not work either even when you do their replacement of the zombie.gameStates class.

I even joined their forums only to be disallowed to post and then my account vanish. At that point I had to wonder was it just an email siphoning tool.

I really dont think it is a scam nor an email siphoning tool but it sure "feels" like it. What do I want? I want the game to work and on Desura. If they dont want to bother I want my money back.

Had it all worked and a demo was on here Id have paid 50 no problem. Hell, Im a Wasteland 2 supporter because I like the game and I want linux. This game... It just fSCK'd me over.
