Could you please run the game under GDB and generate core dump?

According to this, you can do:

  1. gdb ./thedarkmod.x64
  2. run
  3. generate-core-dump

Then find the core dump file, upload it somewhere and share here.

If installed under '/opt', shouldn't it be in '/opt/darkmod' instead of '/opt/thedarkmod'?

Perhaps, as root or using sudo, it might be an easy test to: 

cd /opt
ln -s thedarkmod darkmod

If that does the trick then doing 'mv /opt/thedarkmod /opt/darkmod' should be able to be done safely after first removing the symlinked directory with 'rm darkmod'.

Though not sure that would cause a segfault

TDM can run on every location, as long the user has the permissions to execute and write.

An other Arch user changed his timezone to solve the same symptoms, apoorv569.
There is are  AUR's for this game, but which do you installed?
And is it possible in arch to download and run the original tdm updater and its binaries, instead of an aur?

To give you some other pointers/tips:
see https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installer_and_Manual_Installation#Linux

and if you have any questions please post them in the techsupport forum.

i tried this but it gives the same output as before minus the 2 lines that read

i dont think timezone is the issue, and there is only one package in the AUR that i found thedarkmod-bin and its what i installed.

Hmm... that was a stupid bug in 2.07.

If your timezone does not have DST, then it may be the cause.
You can try to set system timezone to Tehran and try to run TDM. Alternatively, try this binary instead.

Just use the binary that stgatilov shared.

I tested the AUR in Manjaro KDE.
The instalation, updater & tdm binary works fine on that distro.
 

Do we have to contact Diabonas, the maintainer of darkmod-bin, about this error? @stgatilov
(contact info is in the aur)
-edit-
No, because the AUR just downloads the TDM binaries & data from official TDM mirrors. (see installscript of the aur)
So that has to be fixed on our side, but you already know/did that.
