      I have tried countless times to install this game on my computer running ubuntu mint 13.04…… keeps saying ” Failed to fetch “http://ppa.launchpad.net/andrewfenn/ogredev/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages” 404 Not Found

      Why am I getting that?

        Seems that you added the “ppa:andrewfenn/ogredev” and “ppa:stuntrally-team/stable”. Both PPAs are very old and does not support Ubuntu 13.04, you can remove them by running the commands below (Ctrl+Alt+T):

        sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:andrewfenn/ogredev

sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:stuntrally-team/stable

      Hi Ji m,

      vdrift seems to be gone? I tried to install it in Mint 17.3 but no chance.

      Should this be true? No chance?

      Thanks for your great work!
