Hi,

Not sure if this has come up prematurely, but Natural Selection 2 showed up in my list of linux games. I installed it, hit play, and it tells me:
"Failed to start game (missing executable)."

From a unverified source, the game isn't expected to work until the 30th. The devs of this game currently have a private beta.

Maybe this is a different problem than mine, but the game needs OpenGL 3.1. With the open source drivers on Debian this means you need Mesa 9.x (unstable has 9.1), and xserver-xorg-core 1.13 (unstable has 1.12, experimental has 1.14).

The game works here with the free play weekend.

@saward I imagine this issue is resolved now? Would you mind closing the bug if so.
