Amnesia TDD md5 checksum error

[Vikeyev]

Hello once again guys,

About 2 days ago I bought Amnesia: The Dark Descent and have been trying fruitlessly to install the game. I have been receiving some checksum errors and others but I had opened up a thread about it on frictional games website and haven't heard anything that has yet solved my problem (hence this thread). Now just to make things a little easier for all of us I will post the information so far gathered on the other thread.

I have been using firefox to download the file and I have 13GB free space in my tmp directory.


I bought amnesia the full version and downloaded it last night and received error in md5 checksums. After browsing these forums and google I redownloaded the game and got the same error. I redownloaded it a couple times from different sources and the same source and still kept getting the error. I read on another forum that saving a .sh file can corrupt and damage it, so when I downloaded it instead of choosing save file I chose open with kwrite. I used the sh command again and didn't get the checksum error, but I got an error saying could not find a suitable frontend.

After that I decided to download the file on a windows computer, burnt it to a disk (and put it on a usb) and tried it on this pc and I got the md5 checksum error once again.

Oh BTW here is the latest checksum error:

vikeyev@localhost:~> sh amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh
Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: b1ecc3f2c9324dbe4c426447afb1f1a6 is different from e906c157d978a4d2899739c9d3a21667

The correct MD5 of the whole file is this

md5sum amnesia_tdd_1.0_linux_1.sh
1371d13237143b845e42968cee46002a  amnesia_tdd_1.0_linux_1.sh

Here is the md5 output of all my downloads

vikeyev@localhost:/tmp> md5sum amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh
ec43ae0dbeaa71e7f8a139b21ccb28ba  amnesia_tdd_1.0.sh

vikeyev@localhost:~> cd ~/Download
vikeyev@localhost:~/Download> md5sum amnesia_tdd_1.0-1.sh

Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated, thank you once again for your time.

Installer Issues- cannot find front end

1. The game installer fails to find a frontend.
The game installer itself requires that the 32 bit libstdc++.so.5 or libstdc++.so.6 be available in your system library path (usually /usr/lib). If the installer fails to find that library it will not load. If you do have those files and it still refuses to load, please post a thread with specifics about your linux distribution and setup.

On the forum of Frictional:

Re-download from the other server, to minimize the risk of it occurring again. Or try and use another method to download, like another browser.

Try using wget, from a command line. You need to copy the address of the file and then type

cd /tmp

wget http://www.locationofthefile.com/filename.run

The file will be in /tmp

I have all of the libs that are needed for the game and this is the output I get when I try wget:

Either that is not a valid URL or there is something wrong with it that won't let you download it.
This is what I got from it.

Well the place I'm downloding it from, there is 3 buttons, 1 for mac, 1 for windows and 1 for linux and so I right click the linux button and then copy link. Could this be causing the problem? Is their a way around this?

[MikeTbob]

Does left clicking make the download begin? If so, then there is probably no way around this unless you can find a different server hosting the file. Have you tried a different browser?

No actually I haven't but I'll give it a try now.

[MikeTbob]

I downloaded the file and successfully extracted and began the install.
http://store1.esellerate.net/store/d...4825570525&t=B
That link right there, within Firefox.

Downloaded using konqueror, didn't get the md5 error but I got the no suitable frontend error. Checked my usr/libs folder and I have libstdc++.so.6 and libstdc++.so.6.0.12

[MikeTbob]

Are you using 64 bit???
Here is some known issues, do they apply to you??
Here are a few known linux issues so far found from the Demo version of Amnesia.

1. Game won't install with $TMPDIR mounted as noexec
You either have to mount TMPDIR (usually /tmp) without noexec or run the installer with --target /path/to/other/tmpfolder and specify a folder that does not have the noexec mount option.
2. Game won't run as when you don't have write access to game directory
if you install Amnesia into a system directory the game will refuse to run as a normal user, as you do not have write access to the game directory. The current workaround is to install it in your home directory.
There is a patch coming to fix this issue
3. Open Source Drivers do not work
Currently the open source drivers to not provide a complete GLSL 1.20 implementation.. So at this time you MUST use the proprietary NVIDIA or ATI drivers. If you want the open source drivers to support the game I would suggest supporting the Mesa3D and the driver projects to improve the OpenGL support.
4. Poor performance with nvidia 6000 or 7000 series card ( may affect newer cards )
Make sure xinerama is disabled as it causes a significant drop in framerate.
5. Inability to set gamma on ATI cards or gamma too high on ATI cards
It seems the ATI drivers are not supporting the X method used to set the gamma that is used by SDL_SetGamma, a workaround is to use the xgamma utility that should be available with your distribution to adjust the gamma.
