When can we expect the fixed version to land in the PPA? On Ubuntu 14.04, the non-working version 6447 is the latest version and I'm having the same problem: it quits after the 'splash screen'. When I try to launch the .sh, it exits without error message. In fact, it even closes the terminal window. When I start the client itself I do get an error message:
arumes@RMS-DESK:~$ /opt/ryzom/ryzom_client
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)
