I've just installed Red Eclipse on Linux Mint 13 (I had to fetch the packages from Launchpad, Playdeb didn't give me the latest ones). I ran it (by typing redeclipse in my console), and the textures didn't seem to all show up. The horizon and everything below it would go all blurry. Players and weapons also don't seem to appear. But the skybox is there.. and some glowy things...

I installed redeclipse-data and redeclipse from the packages off Launchpad - version 1.3.1.
This is the package I used for redeclipse-data:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/11620843 ... .1_all.deb
This is the package I used for redeclipse:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/11620451 ... _amd64.deb

I only did that after attempting to use the Playdeb link on the home page and then installing those packages - it gave me Red Eclipse version 1.2, apparently, instead of 1.3. (edit: I said 12 and 13 instead of 1.2 and 1.3. Corrected.) Afterwards, I used the launchpad packages listed above.

Any ideas? Maybe I installed it incorrectly?

Playdeb does feature v1.3.1 for Ubuntu 12.04 and thus Linux Mint 13.
Could you try uninstalling everythingand installing the playdeb packages?

Yes, PlayDeb unfortunately hosts a whole range of RE versions (1.0-1.3.1 ) since the repos for older versions of Ubuntu are not updated. The repo for 12.04 has 1.3.1 though, and should hopefully work...

If it doesn't:
If you run

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

redeclipse -g

from the terminal, what's the output?
Does it work if you use the tarball from http://redeclipse.net/download instead?

This is really strange - seemed like a restart and overnight time solved my problem when I ran RedEclipse, it worked.

I think there might have been a graphics driver update which needed a restart to be finalized.

For the record, I've already done this - as I say in my opening post, it gave me the incorrect version (through apturl as reported by Firefox). Synaptic reported afterwards that the version was 1.2, and not 1.3.1. The game also reported that it was using 1.3.1-nix 64-bit.
edit: in my first post, I referred to 1.3 as '13' and 1.2 as '12' - I corrected it now.
