I have a fix, the ebuild creates user games and group games, gives /opt/enemy-territory games group, but does not set group read attributes, chmod g+r /opt/enemy-territory -R fixes problem. et will run fine under root if this is the cause. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge enemy-territory 2. add user to group games 3. run et Actual Results: "Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg - I am missing essential files - verify your installation?" Et then exits Expected Results: game should have started. enemy-territory-2.55.ebuild as of 28 of June 2003
