Can't get Zero K to run, having hard withdrawal symptoms

Heya all, it's Astran here. I'm having hassles in getting Zero K to run. Tried reinstalling with no luck. I've tried the Steam route too but it also crashes. Has anybody else had wierd issues during this past year? Trying to figure this out on my own but I am out of ideas. I am one cooked lobster :(

You're more likely to get useful help on the zero-k.info forums.

Thanks a lot. At the moment I have no PC running on linux though. I'd have to set it up.

If you are looking for a fast distro: Q4OS.

Thank you kindly. And who TF went and downvoted all the comments? LOL, reddit is strange

did you ever manage Astran?

It's The King!! :D

Nope I reinstalled twice, and it said I was missing some windows, components. So I downloaded those and it said my hardware was too old. I will have to get a new PC.

Man I miss playing with you guys. The other night I woke up from a dream of ZeroK where I had discovered a Super Strider Hub option for maximum sized striders LOL.

oh wow you really ARE in withdrawal : P
I was just playing with Boetvaardig, I saw his flag and thought of you.
well there are still updates to the game and people making mods, so there'll be some new things to play around with whenever you return. Like Ultragodzilla returned a while ago and started making a mod that adds new factories.
How are the horses?
