Spring RTS Engine

Thanks hokomoko and nixtux! I will indeed try to update Spring & the games. It would be very convenient if Spring was automatically updated through the Ubuntu repositories, but I'm downloading the Steam version right now and willing to give Forboding Angel's stunt (updating through a multiplayer...

Thanks for pointing this out Silentwings!
I should indeed have checked the faq first, but I was kinda proud having solved the issue by myself

To clarify, the "steam version" is not out of date. If you were simply to join a game in the multiplayer tab, weblobby would have downloaded the engine, game, and map for you automatically. What steam gives you is only updated once in a while, because all updates are handled through the l...

Actually I've just found how to solve the problem but I can as well put the answer here. When trying to create a single-player game with Springlobby 0.210 on Ubuntu 15.4, no maps nor games would appear. How to solve this: - go to Edit/Preference - in the Spring tab, change "default" to 98....

Thanks for the precision Forboding Angel. I want to stress out that Evo was perfectly working through Steam, right from the box, and I'm glad for this. Anyway, I've tried downloading games and maps manually and placing them in the spring directory. But even after clicking on "reload maps/games&...

Yes, this makes sense! Thanks for your answer Silentwings!
I've already deleted my Steam version and I'm about to try a manual install.

Thanks a lot for your answers!
I'm surprised and disappointed to learn that the Steam version is not up-to-date, but this must be the answer and I will try a manual install.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your answer PicassoCT, I thought Steam would update the engine itself but I'm willing to give it a try. I've just found a "manual download" option in the lobby and it requires an engine file name. I've tried typing spring_100.0_minimal-portable-linux64-static.7z but nothing seem...

I've downloaded this free game, Evolution RTS, from Steam and what a surprise - it's based on Spring! I've been playing TA:Spring for years when I was on Windows -now I'm on Linux. Evolution RTS works just fine, but I'd like to try Balanced TA or Tech Annihilation and neither work. The game starts, ...
