[SOLVED] Debian 0.25a no multiplayer

[year0]

Hello, folks.

I finally managed to install the latest version of 0ad through Debian backports.

Sadly, the game only seems to work fine with Single Player, as I get a series of strange error messages as soon as I try to load any online content such as the Terms of Service, Terms of use or try to join the lobby.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this? I've previously tried to install 0ad through both Snap and Flatpak and the result was even worst.

I am running Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64.

 

Would accept any additional solution to running 0.25 in stable Debian. I can't stand having to resort to Windows for a game that is and has always been UNIX friendly.

Thank you in advance.
