Game Crashes - Sidux Linux

[arcturus]

Looks like a great game!

However ...

I see the splash screen with the caption 'loading', then the screen goes blank, followed by a crash back to the desktop. The desktop looks enlarged, almost as if someone placed a magnifier in front of it, forcing me to restart X to get back the correct screen resolution.

Nexuiz 2.3
Sidux Linux 64 bit

Ideas? Thanks.

No need to restart X. Either use "xrandr -s 0" or ctrl-alt-num_plus/num_minus next time.

Seems like your version of libvorbisfile.so.3 is incompatible with the precompiled binaries, so you might need to compile the engine yourself.
What's the exact version of the package that contains libvorbisfile.so.3 on your system?

[arcturus]

v 1.2.0

further investigation yields a possible smoking gun ...

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=436083

I really don't want to compile the game but if that's the only option.
