That amazement is in the fact that I finally got it to work on my (64bit) system (though only been trying for a day).
My 32bit Gentoo laptop was having the login crash last time I tried, but so was this one before. Believe me, I know exactly what the desura guys are doing to fix this (i.e. try a fix, see if it works, upload if it does, yell if it doesn't, repeat) and they have my highest respect. TBH, it's just as bad as me, trying to run ./desura --forceupdate 6 times in a row.
Lets try gaming now...
