When I try to install the client files for linux on the game server host I get the error sh: uncompress: command not found. I get the error after typing the command ./GameCreate-Setup.linux-x86.run. Can anyone explain to me how to install the gamecreate client for a linux server.

Thank you

Dont try and make modifications on the server (You werent doing that before, were you?).

GameCreate overwrites any file under its control (as defined on a server's Files tab) before a server is started - any changes you make directly on the host computer will be overwritten.

I upload the file on your website GameCreate Client - Linux to the game server / directory. I type in ./GameCreate-Setup.linux-x86.run and the user agreement pops up: Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes (enter) After that it says sh: uncompress: command not found
and it terminates. Do you know what the problem can be?

Sorry ignore that post, it was meant for another thread.

You need to install the linux 'uncompress' application - its pretty standard.

Alternativly, try symlinking 'uncompress' to 'gunzip':

One more thing. Does this use up alot of cpu/memory if any at all?

Andrew · Mammoth

Nope, it uses very little.

We run the client on 80+ host computers (Windows and Linux) and there is no performace decrease.

Enter 'yes' to accept this agreement, 'no' to decline: yes
stdin: not in compressed format

Try re-downloading the installer and compare the md5sum on the webpage to what you downloaded?

Let me know if that does not fix the problem!

I've uploaded a new installer that doesnt rely on uncompress ; please give that a try.
