A niche issue with Open Beta archives.

Post by Voker57 »

The archives of the current Open Beta patches contain a folder titled "graphics/shadow/trooptypes". The default SE installation, however, contains "graphics/shadow/Trooptypes" While it works normally on Windows, some users, including me, play on Linux, and its default filesystem is case-sensitive. Thus, unzipping an archive results in two folders "Trooptypes" and "trooptypes", and due to how Wine handles things, SE cannot find the graphics in one of these two folders and crashes. Thus, while it's an unsupported system, it would be great if the file name case was consistent across updates :-)
