Make sure you're extracting the correct patch: http://www.project1999.com/files/P99Files43.zip.

Other than that I'm not sure, I don't know anything about Linux. Could be a connection issue.
As of right now since it boots up and everything else works more or less like it's supposed to -- ie, the game successfully boots and proceeds to load everything it needs to in order to get to the character select screen -- I'm treating it as if it's a non-Linux specific problem (EDIT: although in retrospect, it seems that this is most likely the case. If it weren't Linux-specific, I'd imagine there would be a lot more of these kinds of threads). It seems to be running fine under Wine so that's my assumption until someone tells me otherwise.

The failure of 7z to natively work around write-protection of GlobalLoad.txt (even run as root) jogged something in me so I extracted to a temp folder and moved the entire folder over manually as root, but nothing changed. I'm a little stumped here. Is there any way I can rule out a connection issue?

EDIT: I am running 64-bit Arch 4.8.4-1
