Thank you very much !
Hi,
I want to give thank you for your answer, but with many delay :) ...:
https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/6/37071
When I knew that couldn't install in an other directory, simply lost my interest:
biretak - no I'm not new to linux, is my exclusive system since many years. It's just I don't want a lot of staff spread in my home directory.
rastro - Yes, Khendras from Perpetuum :P , How are you?
phoenixbyrd + yodaofborg - thanks a lot for try to help. For the moment I think I will not install the game, I'm sorry but It takes me a lot of work to organize my information, scripts, docs etc.. If I can not keep organized, I will pass for the moment.
Thanks again for your help !

Sure, updater has to go to ~/.vendetta, but after an update you can drop all the files in any directory you want. Even a flash drive. I sometimes keep VO on a flash drive for this reason. Normally VO doesn't force an update for a few releases (I assume this may change in the future, ymmv,etc) so I ignore updates until forced.

It's not a good practice and you'll probably catch bugs and crashes that wouldn't happen otherwise.
At least that's what I experienced on my end.

Which linux distro are you having bugs with? And which bugs?

I'm late to it, haven't checked this section for a long time.
VO will always use ~/.vendetta, BUT you can just set the HOME environment variable to a different dir. I've used that too in the past.
So before install, export HOME to something else (or move after install). Also the launcher needs to be updated. Prefix it with
launcher for updater:
env HOME=/some/dir ...path-to-update.rlb...
for starting the game directly, use the vendetta binary and not the update.rlb
