Most of the other spring games have a file for download to place in the games or mod directory. Is this available for zero-k, or does it just have windows and linux installs?

Would to try it out, if anyone can point me to just the game?

Method 2: Download the game file manually

Ahh. So I installed it, but in always crashes within 5 seconds of starting the game. It loads, I select a commander, I see it and am about to select... then it crashes. Happens on both computers I've tested on.

Any ideas why that would be?

find your infolog, pastebin it, and add it to your next post to allow our valiant wizards to assist you.

Attached is the infolog, thanks to anyone willing to take a look!

In SpringSettings, uncheck "enable lua shaders" and see if that works.

Was already disabled, so no dice.

no stack-trace/crash report.

there is practically no hint as to what it could be, and therefore the best guess is, that it is GFX related. that makes up for 99% of spring crashes, and happens mostly with Intel and ATI GFX.
so... you could try to disable/change lots of all GFX related settings of spring, or change GFX/OpenGL related settings through the OS.
to get more info about a crash, you would probably have to compile spring manually (to get debug symbols), and run in GDB.
.. which makes me think... is there some nice way to ship debug symbols with an .app bundle (as in, an additional bundle or so), that would allow to run the application in GDB without the need for the user to compile himself? (question to daftalx)

Finally, a runtime response \o/
It should be easy to fix. Should be done till ROAM release.

I tried again recently with ZK 9.2, still crashes at same time.

Any ideas?

It looks like something truncated your infolog.

Yeah. Spring truncated the infolog.
