There seems to be an issue with filenames. Pretty sure it's only occuring on linux, but it has a fairly simple fix.
In Data/builtin_ships/Imperium/Combat/builtins_imperium_combat.rules there's a reference to a file (png) with a "special" char in. This causes a deserialization error stating it can't find the file.
I renamed both the rules entry & the file to just Temujin.ship.png, causing everything to just work (For now at least - it starts now)
Hopefully this might be helpful.

KR,

Trying to download the demo after having installed the proper version because I enjoy the demo's simplicity a whole lot. Literally won't even begin the download. No way to access the demo on my commuter, and it isn't even in my steam library, despite having it downloaded on multiple previous computers and it being in the steam library on those computers.

Do you mean the old "Classic" version? You can still get that on Steam but it requires a bit of work. (Copy/pasted from the discord FAQ)

Can I still download the free "Classic" version of Cosmoteer?
Yes, there are two ways to play Classic:
1) Download it at https://cosmoteer.net/history.html
2) Download the "Cosmoteer Demo" on Steam, then go into the properties for Cosmoteer Demo, click on the Betas tab, and select "classic" from the drop-down.

Can I have both Modern and Classic installed on Steam at the same time? When I install Modern, it deletes the demo.
Yes, with a little bit of work:
1) Type steam://open/console into your web browser.
2) In the Console tab on Steam, type app_install 1110960. This will force the demo to install even though Modern is also installed.
3) Go into the properties for Cosmoteer Demo, click on the Betas tab, and select "classic" from the drop-down.

My Game crashes randomly in multiplayer - often, it's says something about DirectX issuse and my graphic drives is getting killed. I enjoy cosmoteer, but these gamecrashes appear so often in multiplayer - it really sucks... it runs sometimes for 5 mins and then for a hour until next crah. i'm running it allready with elevateted rights, low settings and vsync but this doesn't make any sense. by next crash i will hand you the crash report.

Please start a new topic in the Bug Reports channel and post a log file from a crash. (Though I can say right now that GPU crashes are typically caused by bad drivers or hardware and there's usually not much I can do about that on my end.)

ive got 365 hours logged and your newest update screwed it all up. How can I specifically play the game without the current update so I have access to my game?

Use the "previous-build" beta branch.
