Additionally Xonotic is in the repositories for some distributions of Linux, but it may be outdated. If you would prefer to use your distro's package manager, please make sure that the game's data is also up to date.
Common Errors
This is a map download error where your client has failed to download the map. This can either be the server's fault (bad download link given to clients), or the client's fault for whatever reason. If this occurs to you, and you are on Linux, make sure you have libcurl installed.
This may also occur if the server is currently on a 0.8.2 map while you have a 0.8.1 client.
This is the mechanism that ensures you have one instance of the game running, thus you may have Xonotic running in the background. Open your process manager, and kill the Xonotic process.
If you legitimately want to run multiple instances of Xonotic, you can launch Xonotic in the command line with '-sessionid ' as the launch parameter.
This is either from high latency (~200 ms) or too much background activity in Linux (high RAM utilization).
