Description d10sfan 2013-03-06 11:49:16 EST
This is a new bug (didn't happen in the old build) where clicking Play Local, then picking my character, and clicking Start just boots me back to the main menu, instead of loading the level.

Also as a sidenote, is there going to be a better way of getting patches soon, instead of downloading the whole game again?

I can confirm on Xubuntu 12.10 x64 that attempting to start a local game just boots you back to the main menu.

Ok, so this is really embarrassing.

The game went out with an accidental last-minute change in an .ini file.

In the directory where you installed the game, edit the file:

    UDKGame/Config/DefaultDunDef.ini

Right near the top are two lines like this:

    DefaultGameplayLevel=LobbyLevel_Valentines2013.udk
    DefaultGameplayLevelRanked=LobbyLevel_Valentines2013.udk

Change them both to be LobbyLevel.udk ... then it will work.

I'm really sorry about that, we were working on the Steam version at the same time, and it still had the Valentine's Day customizations in it, which were taken out for the Humble Bundle. That simple edit will get you going, so no need to redownload something, but I'll also update the Humble Bundle build.

Ok that fixed it, is anything coming for the controller support by any chance?

Confirmed, changing to

    DefaultGameplayLevel=LobbyLevel.udk
    DefaultGameplayLevelRanked=LobbyLevel.udk

fixes the problem with version v7.48 from Humble Bundle 5.

I changed the .ini file, but now the game crashes at the begginning.

Be careful when you edit it. It seemed to me that every 3rd or 4th time I opened it my editor (gedit) would not recognize some of the characters in the file, thus saving would corrupt it.

Exactly, i had to reinstall the game and this time edit with nano.

Well, it's 2018 and the Humble build still has this issue.
