Oh it's not a firewall problem - you can be out of sync if you don't have the map/mod/OTA content.

To get OTA content, check the download guide (http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/SetupGuide) for your distribution, it'll say at the bottom how to get it.

As for maps/mods, you can find them on this website: http://spring.jobjol.nl/subcategory.php?id=1 - and you save the mods into ~/.spring/mods (let me know if you'll have troubles locating that), and maps into ~/.spring/maps.

For starters, I'd recommend getting the BA (http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=926) and the CA (http://spring.jobjol.nl/show_file.php?id=930) mods, and some of the maps you see being played online.

Let me know if you'll need any help with this!

Computer illiterate and using Linux? That doesn't sound like a good combination...

[Vadi]

Elitist, snarky attitude, and using Linux?

That sounds like a familiar stereotype

Yeah, sounds like Mac users, except they use OS X.

We probably should make it more obvious when you need to get the map/mod in the lobby client. Right now it just gives you (and everyone else) an unexplained "out of sync" error, which is needlessly confusing.
