That's clever. Looks like the developers of the game have increased the glibc requirements. It was 2.15 now it's 2.18. This would be the highest requirements of any of the servers. Most being either 2.07 or 2.15. This means only the latest versions of Ubuntu would be officially supported.

You cannot upgrade glibc as its a core component of the OS. To see your glibc version use the command ldd --version.

I will be updating fn_glibcfix to get it to work again.
