I have heard this question asked a few times also in game, so I'm guessing others are having the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

Well anyway:
A new version for Linux (64 bit) has been uploaded: v6.037
It brings a lot of new stuff since the last v6 release and of course plenty of new things compared to v5. Download it as usual from the website although the download from login server should work if you have installed it as user:

http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/Graal6_linux64.zip

This new version is not scanning the current folder anymore, so it should be much easier to just put it anywhere and then run it. Unzip the file, make it executable, then run it:

unzip Graal6_linux64.zip
chmod 775 Graal
./Graal

All files will be download and saved to ~/.graal/graal4 in case you want to clear them or need to find the screenshots or recorded videos. The new version is using "SDL mixer" for playing sounds and music. Depending on the hardware and drivers this should work pretty well, but if there are problems then just disable sounds or music in the options on the login server.

It's pretty hard to find still a distribution which is really supporting 32 bit x-x Getting it to correctly link to OpenGL and make it working for Nvidia & co is a pain.
Maybe a solution can be using the Flash version on Facebook?

Mint, Ubuntu, etc all support 32bit with their latest versions.

Using Flash rather than native can be quite troublesome on older computers as it seems to have higher CPU usage and whatnot.

Graal is relatively easy on resources when in native environment, but when thrown into flash it can become quite a disturbance.

Stefan does have a point though, hardly anyone uses a 32-bit processor, hell, even my old computer which is the best part of 8 years old has an Intel Pentium 4 516 and supports 64-bit.

I never denied he had a point, I'm just saying the distros still support x86 & i386 and some people are forced to use them due to limitations with their hardware. For example, on one of my machines I have an Intel PD that supports x86_64, yet I don't run 64-bit on it because its RAM is rather low.
