Can't apply Snapshot on Linux

Hello,

I have MX Sim 1.13 on Linux Mint. And I'm trying to apply October2023's snapshot but it's not working.

I downloaded it from here:
https://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic ... 4c2f561763

Then replaced the working mxbin with the downloaded one, but the game doesn't open.
Re-activating the original mxbin makes the game open again.

Are there any additional steps that I'm missing? I have been searching for days without any luck.

Thanks!

Never mind. I just figured it out.

Here is the solution:

the original mxbin file had executable rights and the new one from the snapshot didn't:

ls -l showed:

-rwxr-xr-x mxbin
-rw-r--r-- mxbin_snapshot

So I just changed the rights to add "execute":

"/chmod 755 mxbin_snapshot"

Good point! I should add the chmod instructions to the snapshot posts.
