scorched3d-41 is out. The 40.1d ebuild works fine, though I'm not sure if the freealut.patch for version 40 applies cleanly or not - rather than change the name of the patch for the 41 release, I just commented out the src_unpack function. Having done that, the game compiles and runs fine on my system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Fixed, thanks.
