Hey, I see that you solved the problem for Linux users.
I´m running on windows and I can´t seem to get it to download the manifest?
Any tips?

Ok Max fixed the Launcher for us Linux users! Amazing Job

all just download this and replace it: http://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRLauncher.exe

Thanks Max and Xpander that worked, running again under Manjaro Linux.

Thank you for this fix so quickly. Perhaps it's worth adding it to the main Linux thread?

Are there plans to merge these changes with the main branch? Running a fork would be inconvenient long run.

the link for the launcher is added to the main linux thread. afaik the launcher will be 1 and only, this will be downloaded for all new updates. Just the number is same so it wont update automatically atm, who got the older version first

Hi. Just having a look at this (for nostalgia's sake). I'm trying to get this to work in probably the worst setup imaginable: MacOs catalina, running VirtualBox 6.1, running Ubuntu, with Lutris.

The launcher works correctly but fails to launch the game: there's the briefest (subsecond) display of the splash screen, then the game crashes.

I confess that I'm having trouble even finding logs that look pertinent.

Has anyone else out there managed to get such a setup working?

Ah-ha. The issue looked to be d3d:resource_init Out of adapter memory

For some reason it was convinced that the display adapter had 128MB available to it.

I used regedit to set the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\VideoMemorySize to the string "16384" (which is what I'd allocated to it using virtualbox).

... Also just trying to run this under wine (following the instructions above) as opposed to Lutris, although now I've got the game launching I may have a bit of a play with both options.
