Unfortunately the installation guide isn´t descriptive enough to run the program in linux without previous knowledge of ruby or gosu.

-----> OK
Install required gems: bundle install
-----> there's no bundle to install

bundle install is a command that should be run from the launcher's directory. It could be made clearer.

Alternatively, you can try out the pre-packaged executable: https://github.com/cyberarm/w3d_hub_linux_launcher/actions/runs/16739524046/artifacts/3687273785

Even starting the terminal in the same directory gives me the following error message: "Could not locate Gemfile". thanks for the compiled zip! it works but when I try to install RA A path beyond, it comes up with the error message:
Installer task failed for Red Alert: A Path Beyond
Failed to fetch manifest package details! (games:apb:manifest.xml:3.7.0.0)

I can´t log in either, I get the error message "incorrect username or password. Or too many failed login attempts, try again in a few minutes". But I can log into the website https://w3dhub.com/forum/ without any problems.

The launcher updates the servers and community tabs without any problems.

Failed to fetch manifest package details! (games:apb:manifest.xml:3.7.0.0)

Does this error happen repeatedly or only once? There was a bug, that I thought I fixed, that caused the launcher to fail the first time it fetched an applications manifests.

On all of the install buttons (other than C&C renegade, which I can´t check) after the install fails it deactivates the install button until I switch back tabs. And then it still fails again.

@chrigrov I believe I've fixed the bug causing this, you can give the latest build a try: https://github.com/cyberarm/w3d_hub_linux_launcher/actions/runs/17241150629/artifacts/3854236799

I can download games from the launcher now, but the download throttles after about 85% (for RA:APB). Also I can´t log in.

[chrigrov]

it froze on always_4.0.zip, everything else downloaded. I can´t download another game because RA:APB froze and thereś no way to abort the download.

I got tiberian sun reborn to install, but it only showed as installed when I switched back tabs. When I tried to start it I got a crash dump file (attached). It asked me if I wanted to open the directory with the file, but it didn´t, so I had to find it by searching home for *.dmp:

/home/[[[[user]]]]/.wine/drive_c/users/[[[[user]]]]/Documents/W3D Hub/games/tsr-release/debug

crashdump.20250903-175502-r13347-n1.dmp.zip

Login on the W3D app still doesn´t work for me.
