Their exfiltration endpoint broke, and prompted visible errors. We actually run an internal integrity scan within the forums themselves that would've picked it up, but we only run that once every 6 months or so. I've been adding extra detection mechanisms since, (maldet, change monitoring) but it's a bit horse-bolted.
 
I'm probably going to look into restricting outbound HTTP(s), but that's something that'll take a while. I'll also look at getting https everywhere, but again, a while, plus low priority. We're not a big MITM target

Update: Mentioned it to RJ, so hopefully we'll see this fix rolling in soon.

I figured out how to run pz in the latest steam release for Linux 64bit using Mint 15, I posted my instructions below.
I'm not sure of the version, but in the bottom right I see '17 (0014)'
_____________________________
In the latest steam release, pz for linux does not boot. I ran my lwjgl command but there was still no result.
 
I ran the program directly in terminal and got this:
./projectzomboid.sh: line 11: cd: ../projectzomboid: No such file or directoryError: Could not find or load main class zombie.gameStates.MainScreenStateNow, the first error has occurred in the past and didn't affect the game.
However, it does now, so we need to fix it.
 
I don't know if you recognize this though, but .. is a way of saying in bash (linux) to go down one directory.
For example, at ~/Music/indie if you ran cd ../rock you would go from ~/Music/indie --> ~/Music --> ~/Music/rock
Relating to our script, doing the exact opposite of what our developers want!  
 
So how to fix?
Edit the file projectzomboid.sh at ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/ProjectZomboid
 
In the line that contains this (INSTDIR one):
GAMEDIR="${HOME}/.project_zomboid_2.9.9.17"LOGFILE="${GAMEDIR}/${SCRIPT}.log"--> INSTDIR="`dirname $0`"./projectzomboid ; cd "${INSTDIR}" ; INSTDIR="`pwd`"Delete the last line and add this:
cd `dirname $0`if [ ! -d projectzomboid ];    then INSTDIR=`pwd`    else INSTDIR="$(cd "projectzomboid"; pwd)"; cd $INSTDIRfiso that it looks like this:
SCRIPT="`basename $0`"GAMEDIR="${HOME}/.project_zomboid_2.9.9.17"LOGFILE="${GAMEDIR}/${SCRIPT}.log"cd `dirname $0`if [ ! -d projectzomboid ];    then INSTDIR=`pwd`    else INSTDIR="$(cd "projectzomboid"; pwd)"; cd $INSTDIRfi[[ ! -d "${GAMEDIR}" ]] && mkdir -m 0755 "${GAMEDIR}"JARPATH=".:lwjgl.jar:lwjgl_util.jar:jinput.jar"If you're wondering why do a if test, you can do the same thing in the projectzomboid.sh file inside ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid/ and won't screw up the script (as the orginal code did)
Might be helpful to dev's...

You should try GIMP. It is free and has some awesome features. It's no photoshop, but for me it was always sufficient.

Tested on 64bit & 32bit builds.
 
So the Linux versions, Debs and Tarballs have this on-going problem of not being able to even start.
 
The stand-alone seems to work.
 
However, the Desura, Steam and forum unstable builds have this problem.
 
After a fun time of trial and error, I identified the problem file, liblwjgl.so (and liblwjgl64.so for 64 bit)
 
They need to be replaced by the new stable build of LWJGL. Download the zip and extract the appropriate file to the projectzomboid folder.  It is located in lwjgl-2.9.0.zip/lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl.so (and liblwjgl64.so for 64bit)
 
For now, this should fix the problem.
 
 
I developed a terminal command to do this all in one step.
Change the pzfldr variable to your extracted projectzomboid folder (for the forum edition)
Run the command, then enter A<Enter> when indicated for replacing the file.
 
 
Forum Edition: This will work when pz was extracted to a place where you have write permissions. (Try this one first as it lets you easily specify where your pz folder is)
pzfldr="/PATH/TO/projectzomboid/"; if [ ! -f ~/Downloads/lwjgl.zip ]; then (cd ~/Downloads; wget 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/latest/download?source=files' -qO lwjgl.zip); fi && (cd "$pzfldr" && unzip -j ~/Downloads/lwjgl.zip lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl64.so lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl.so)If you installed it using Steam
if [ ! -f ~/Downloads/lwjgl.zip ]; then (cd ~/Downloads; wget 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/latest/download?source=files' -qO lwjgl.zip); fi && (cd ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid/ && unzip -j "/home/$USER/Downloads/lwjgl.zip" lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl64.so lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl.so)If you installed it using a deb file (which installs to /opt/projectzomboid/ and requires root)
if [ ! -f ~/Downloads/lwjgl.zip ]; then (cd ~/Downloads; wget 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/latest/download?source=files' -qO lwjgl.zip); fi && (cd /opt/projectzomboid/ && sudo unzip -j "/home/$USER/Downloads/lwjgl.zip" lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl64.so lwjgl-2.9.0/native/linux/liblwjgl.so)Thank you tazyload for showing me where to find the LWJGL build!
 
CareBearCorpse also made a script that you can simply run as needed inside the projectzomboid folder.
 
I posted this originally here but figured support might be a better place to put this..

Hey Dev's!
 
___________
EDIT: Posted fix to linux versions not working

Hey Dev's!
 
Looks like the tarball is not working still.
 
EDIT: Posted fix here
 
Even if nothing changes, that is fine! This is a great game guys! Keep it up
