What happens on first run
The download above is the program only — about 40 MB. The world itself is not in it. On first run the client fetches what it needs as it needs it: roughly 80 MB for the area you start in, then more ground as you drive into it. Nothing is re-downloaded twice, and an update only fetches what actually changed.
So the first launch needs to reach peli.gg; after that it
does not. With the server unreachable the client still starts and plays
whatever it has already seen. Downloads in progress are shown at the top
of the screen — if it looks like it is doing nothing, that line will
say otherwise.
Requirements
A GPU with working Vulkan drivers. On Linux that means mesa and the
vulkan-* package for your card. Nothing else is needed:
there is no runtime to install and nothing is written outside your home
directory.
Verifying the download
sha256sum -c <<< "aa4068b846acbc3f8c78b43cc2eebfd696dc6c528b0c8912d6e6ab588017c7cc peli-client-0.6.8-linux-x86_64-compat.tar.gz"
Everything the client downloads afterwards is verified the same way, by the hash the server names it with, so a corrupted or substituted file is refused rather than drawn.
Where it puts things
The cache is safe to delete at any time; everything in it can be fetched again.
