Hi guys !

If you have an invalid MD5 checksum during the build, please clean your cache before flagging it outdated. For yay, it is yay -Scc or you can select the cleanBuild during the installation/update.

If you still have the issue, then flag it outdated :) Thanks guys !

We are sorry if sometimes the package is broken. Blade often changes the archive URL, and sometimes also change the file names in this archive. It is pretty hard to predict the changes, but we try to be as responsive as possible.

The best way to notify us is to ping us on the Shadow's Discord (agentcobra#6142 or Nover#9563) in the Linux channel.

I just uploaded a patched libva-vdpau-driver package to AUR ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-vdpau-driver-shadow/ ) which seems to make shadow-beta work on Nvidia cards with the proprietary drivers and VDPAU (at least it does on the two machines I've tried so far). No H.265 support, but regular H.264 seems to run fine. You have to use the --bypass-check option to override the compatibility test.

If anyone tries it out and finds it broken (or working), please let me know over there or on GitHub. :)

Hey guys ! The node Warnings doesn't block the usage of the app, don't worry.

After the installation, you may experience issues as the app does not support NVIDIA GPU right now, and moreover needs a good VA API installation. This can't be done on this package, that is why a tutorial has been written for you, Linux users: https://nicolasguilloux.github.io/blade-shadow-beta/

We will be more careful for the next release. I created a bunch of VM to test it but as the app directly talks to the GPU, it's pretty hard to debug. Please, visit the git of the Linux Community on Shadow, and report your issues on the Discord of your country. ;)

@LeifJohannson

Try and run shadow-beta from the console and see if you get this same error

(node:4977) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: kill ESRCH

Edit:

It looks like the "fixing" step fails and the needed libraries aren't available, hence the crash.

In /usr/lib/ I only had libjson-c.so.4 instead of libjson-c.so.3 and I didn't even have a copy of libubsan.so.0 in there.

Once I moved them into place, and hit the "start" button I was greeted with the login screen!...And then X or Linux itself froze because I had to do a hard reboot :-/ I still saw the above node error though.

The program installs fine, i just cant connect to the shadow server. Am i the only one with this problem? Since this basically stops me from using Arch as my main OS. So any help or guidance is welcome.

Where did you see that GCC v5.x was required? It's pretty odd for a program to require two versions of GCC, especially a new program. I tried a few times to get v5 to compile but it keeps failing, it's also a massive package to compile, even with a fast machine.

Just for the hell of it, I removed that dependency and the package compiled without issue (well I'll get to that in a sec). I then started the app and it works perfectly (well it opens, it won't connect, so it may be still missing a few dependencies), so I don't thing GCC5 is required at all, which massively cuts down on the installation time.

One more general recommendation, please don't use spaces (use underscores or hyphens) and capitals in path names, it makes things more difficult than they should be since Linux is case sensitive. IDK if this is just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate it.

fixed

gcc54 should be updated to gcc5 since gcc54 no longer exists
