That is the head scratching portion of the show.
Win 8 laptop loads in when it shows that server down.
The laptops and desktop with Solus all load in, even a friends laptop with LXLE loads in.
Only the DELL Desktop does this regardless of the Linux OS used, because Solus will not load on to it.
Ah, okay. I loaded up a live Solus DVD (MATE desktop) and it would run Tibia, even in live mode. That's cool. But then I also found, I think, the way to make it work on your Lubuntu. At least it fixed it on my Linux Mint and ran the game with no more "down for maintenance" error.
Run these three commands in a terminal, one after another:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
You may already have openssl, but it will tell you, so just move on if you do. I found this solution
here.
Sudo is not needed to play the game, so don't use it. But it is probably better to run the game from the script. You can rename the script, if you want, to make it shorter to type.... or if you don't know about "tab completion," now is a good time to learn that trick! Start typing the script command, like
./st
and then hit the TAB key. It should fill in all the rest of the script name, then hit Enter. Of course, you have to be inside the Tibia folder in a terminal.
One thing I didn't like is that when you exit the game, it does not cleanly restore the terminal prompt. It just leaves the terminal hanging there, with all those "errors" still showing (don't worry about those). So before you close the terminal, I would recommend that you hit CTRL-C and that will close the open process (the game) and give the terminal prompt back. Then close the terminal.
Success?
Or if you want, we could also try to figure out how to install Solus on the Dell.
