./updater
WarThunder Updater version 1.0.1
Looking for a new version...
Checking game version... 
Checking files... 100%
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Arch, Mesa git from few days ago, everything else up to date (llvm3.5, xserver1.16, kernel 3.17.2).

And everyone asks himself, how to change the language to German??? cause theres no launcher to change the language setting

Update: to change language, open config.blk with the texteditor, and add this line to the very beginning of the file:

"language:t="German" "

for example for German

I'm running Arch as well, 'official' Mesa package (10.3.2-1). Game starts without any problems on my Haswell laptop (and I get around 15 FPS in the menu, haven't tried playing an actual match yet).

Heard it may be related to CPU, like it was compiled for Intel and game can't find Intel specific instruction on my AMD. Whats your cpu?

Run it in gdb (or valgrind, can't remember), find out which instruction it tried to use.

It embed openssl... compiled for ssse3 aes, probably your CPU does not have that instruction i mean ssse3

Made a ticket to support, added results from valgrind (have no idea how to read them).
