Quick tried rc2 appimage on Ubuntu 25.10. Translation issue is fixed, as well as atlas crash . 2 issues: 1) I get this during game loading (IIRC didn't happen on rc1): AL lib: (EE) GetLoadedHrtf: Invalid header in /usr/share/openal/hrtf/Default HRTF.mhr: "MinPHR03" AL lib: (EE) GetLoadedHrtf: Failed to load /usr/share/openal/hrtf/Default HRTF.mhr Same error discussed elsewhere: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/847 On my Ubuntu I have libopenal1:amd64 + libopenal-data 1:1.24.2-1 2) the New maps demo campaign is empty, maybe just disable it.

A similar issue was recently addressed: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8580 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8589

In the past I remember a map filter for "new maps", but I cannot see it in 0.28-rc1. Are there no new maps in this release or the filter is just missing?

I also got some: WARNING: PlayerID 2 | petra.findOverseaLand on a non-naval map??? we should never go there Replay is attached. metadata.json commands.txt

Tried the rc1 appimage, it is working fine, but there is an issue with Italian locale. If I select Italian, the game still run in English. I also tried espanol and it is properly in spanish. So, the issue is just for Italian.

Windows -> .exe

I suggest to use 0ad using the PureOS package rather than flatpack. Maybe it's not the latest version (here there is 0.27.0: https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/pool/main/0/0ad/), but flatpack is known to have such issues.

About zram, I would suggest starting to use lz4 (it should be faster) rather than zstd, given you already have plenty of RAM. Then, you may want to consider upgrading to Debian testing/13, it has already less known bugs than 12 ( https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ ) and it can support building 0ad using its packages, other than natively having 0ad 0.27.0.

Alternatively, you may set up the game to add an ally to help you against the AI.

Alternatively you may upgrade to Debian testing (which will become Debian 13 soon), where you can find a27.

It won't be available as it requires a newer rust version not available there. You may consider upgrading to Debian testing, which will become stable Debian 13 this summer.

The PPA is for 24.04/noble and 24.10/oracular (25.04/plucky already has 0.27.0). It looks like you have 22.04/jammy for which I didn't package 0ad. (I would suggest to upgrade to 24.04 anyway)

Ubuntu PPA with 0ad 0.27.0 + updated Mesa drivers: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers/ EDIT: the PPA has 0ad 0.27.0 for 24.04/noble and 24.10/oracular (25.04/plucky already has 0.27.0). Older releases are not supported in the PPA (consider upgrading ).

Ideally there should be a way to force enable it, so that the issue could be reproduced and fixed in mesa.
