tome-2.2.2 ebuild does not give write permissions to group for any of its files, which prevents users in games group from playing ToME. Workaround: cd /usr/share/games/tome/lib chmod -R g+w apex data save user This problem does not seem to appear in updating from a working old version of the ebuild. At least conversion from 2.1.2 to 2.2.2 works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you do not have tome installed and you belong to the games group. 2. emerge tome 3. Try to run it. Actual Results: It complained about not finding s_info.raw and exited. (s_info.raw and other *.raw files should get created at first startup, but they did not due to permissions.) A new window meant for ToME flickered into existence and quickly away again. Expected Results: Showed ToME title screen. This was on a newly installed Gentoo on which tome had never been emerged before. I had used the X useflag for tome and tried to start the game from Konsole in KDE.
please upgrade to 2.2.3 and make sure it fixes this :)
