My update manager started and had an update for eternal-lands rc. I ran the update. My game started showing black characters. I did a map change in MM silver cave and the game crashed. When I tried to start the game again, I got the following error message and no game start:

When I try to run the RC client via Applications>Games>EternalLands, it crashes also.
Oh my, Eternal Lands Crashed - Don't Panic!
A couple of things you can try:
1) Make sure your system is up to date, especially your video drivers.
2) If you crash repeatedly during the login process, try setting the "poor man" option from the settings window: At the login screen, click "Settings" select the "Details" tab and set the "Poor Man" option.
If you continue to have problems check the Eternal Lands forums, especially the "Help Me" and "Bug Report" sections. If you post a message make sure you include information about your system; i.e video driver and version, operating system and version. Make sure you check your error log for clues too and include the contents in any forum report.
The following is your error log contents. Note it is overwritten each time you run the game.
I don't know how to find the error logs in Linux.
