Cannot update Ensign-1 Thread - Ensign-1

Desura offered me to update Ensign-1, but when I clicked Update button error message appeared: There is no update available for this item. [52.0].
What does cause that error? I have Linux64 version.

And I already gifted you a correct copy of the game correct? You might ask Desura about this, not me.

What version is it now?

I've reinstalled the games, and now it launches (with errors though). How can I determine version of game installed?

Desura should tell you somehow, but there's also a number at the bottom right hand of the screen when you first launch the game.

What are the errors you are getting?

Ok, I launched Desura, updated other game (successfully), but when I tried to update Ensign-1 that problem happened again.
I reinstalled it again. When I launch the game it prints

/home/skaarjzr/games/Desura/common/ensign-1/Ensign: symbol lookup error: /home/skaarjzr/games/Desura/common/ensign-1/Ensign: undefined symbol: __GLEW_ARB_shader_objects

If I start the game by executing Ensign binary in game directory, game starts but error message appears: No handler found for image type
But menu works. It says version 0.113
When I start new game error message about image handlers appears again and nothing happens when I click highlighted circles.

EDIT: Oh, this just occurred to me, it sounds like for whatever reason libglew1.5 might not be installed on your system.
Desura was supposed to install it, but please make sure that library is installed, before trying any of the other things I mentioned.

-------original message---------------------------------

And the game used to run okay?

Well I've got a few things for you to try.
One is, try going to the cfg directory in the game directory. Go to cfg.txt and set useShader: 0
Then try relaunching the program from Desura.

If that doesn't work. The issue you're having from running it in the directory is the character encoding.
So try this

LANG=C ./Ensign

When you run it.
Let me know if any of those work, also, let me know, did the game used to run okay (can you remember what the game was like when it last worked, did it have opengl extensions then in the options do you remember)?
And lastly, could you tell me a bit about your computer please? Graphics card, what language your computer uses, those things.

I have glew installed

$ ls /usr/lib64/libGLEW.*
/usr/lib64/libGLEW.a  /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so@  /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.1.5@  /usr/lib64/libGLEW.so.1.5.7

I cannot find Ensign-1 config files in ~ or in ~/.config or in ~/.local

Game runs fine (without errors, I can play the game) when I run it with LANG=C (it doesn't run when I try to run it from Desura).

Cfg directory is in the game directory, where the game is installed under Desura.

If you're willing to change your system character encoding, you can try "export LANG=C" then it should run from Desura as well,
but running it your way also sounds like it works.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

It's not a good idea to place config and saves in game directory, because it can be wiped.
Why can't Ensign-1 be launched with my system encoding? And I still can't launch Ensign-1 from Desura.
Also I have performance issues. On maximum settings FPS is too low, on minimal settings sometimes huge lag occurs.

If you can't manage to let Ensign-1 run with all encodings ( don't really see why this should be a problem) it would be good if your launcher would execute export LANG=C before running the actual game. I don't want to change my whole system encoding just to be able to launch it via desura.
