I tried the following:

1. Upgraded to glibc-2.3.2 and glibc-common-2.3.2
2. Re-installed my graphics driver

I'm using the 2.4.18 kernel.

What video card do you have?

ATi Radeon 7500/32

I haven't been able to play since the 3.3.11 update as well. Same issue: I log in, choose my character and it says "Loading..." and then it crashes, I'm back at the desktop.

I'm using RedHat Linux 8.0 with a Riva Tnt2 and latest nVidia drivers. I've been playing since 3.3.5 without a hitch.

I don't even get that far. The updater launches the client, the updater quits, then the client quits before anything starts happening.

OS: Mac OS 10.3.1

The updater runs fine, but after it downloaded and patched the client to 3.3.11, the client quits right after it's opened by the updater with no error message.

Thanks go to Arolte (I didn't know about the error.log file, but now it's easy to find due to the bug he mentioned). Here's the error I get when Vendetta quits (btw, in case it wasn't clear, this bug is keeping vendetta from opening, period. it doesn't happen after vendetta loaded, etc.).

Ok, that's related to my temporary OpenGL experiment.
I fixed the opengl driver and it should be released Monday.

My openglerr.log is empty and errors.log looks normal. Yet I keep crashing to the desktop after the "Loading..." screen. Currently, I'm playing on my sister's PC which has Windoze :P, but I'd like to gave my Linux Vendetta working again.

"it should be released Monday."

Was that east or west coast time? ;-)

Probably Hawaiian time. We usually release late at night, because that's when we finally get everything together.
