Ok, I've spent a fair amount of time trying to get this to work, and it just doesn't seem to work right except on the platform that the dev did the compile on..
What platform or distro was this, BTW?
I tried on RHEL6U2/RHEL5U5/Ubuntu 12.04x32 all seem to have serious issues with glibc.
Even back porting gcc 4.7.1 from source builds...
If I could suggest that you try and recompile on a standard mainstream platform with tested glibc libraries it might help the community test the server software.
One based on Centos which is the basis of a lions share of VPS container hosting services,
might be worthwhile and help you sell more copies of the game as there will be a larger hosting community available.
That said, building against Centos5 development tools might even be the best platform,
as even the most elderly other distos can run SW built on that platform...
SLED10/11, OpenVZ base, Virtuozzo, Proxmox,etc...
The cost to host this on a rented linux container is a fraction of the cost of a windows virtual..
That's why using the latest-greatest libraries and compilers is something that should be avoided unless
absolutely necessary, and if it is, you should bundle the .so libraries to run it with your binaries.
