Most AVN's use a very similar file structure to this. You want to run the application file, not the python file. In Windows finder it's the _ARTEMIS with filetype application (.exe).

I'm on Linux. I'm supposed to be running the .sh file!

Every other game I have from here, which supports Linux, has both a .py file and an .sh file; this one only has the .py file, which doesn't work!

Oh I see. I got the full version of the game after I made that comment, I see what you mean now. It looks like 0.6.1b doesn't support linux so your best bet is probably to use wine or switch to a different OS. You could also maybe try to manually make it compatible (or ask the creator and if enough ask...) but I have no idea what that would involve and there's probably a reason linux isn't supported

Given the problem I'm having, I can see how you'd think that.
However the main reason to include the .py file is to run it on linux... just not the way it's set up on MY linux.

Also the previous release up to version 5 had an .sh file, so I think the dev either deleted it or failed to  click the checkbox to include it when the software was building the game for release.

I'm pretty sure all he has to do to fix this is to re-build it and either reupload it whole or reupload the missing parts, which should just be some .sh files:  One in the base folder and another folder with them with each one being for a different type of system.

Here's a picture of the 5.x release for reference.

Interesting, yeah hopefully he updates it. For the .0.1.2 version the lib directory seems to contain linux-specific files that are not in 0.6, so I think it would require a re-upload from the creator. Wine really should work though. Runs basically any windows executable on linux, sudo wine ARTEMIS.exe

Yeah I have Lutris. I could put it in as an exe program.
However given I bought this game purely because the dev supported linux, I was hoping he'd just fix this. :-s

I was able to just copy over the .sh and library files and it ran without problem.

Did you try to run it?
Cause I tried that and while the game ran, the save files didn't work.

Instead, it booted me back to the start of the game! :-(

Yes, it worked fine I completed the chapter, I also just did a fresh install to verify the download did not change. On your system check that you got all the files in the lib/py3-linux-x86_64 folder copied in, I have 6 files; “_ARTEMIS librenpython.so python pythonw zsync zsyncmake” in mine also they all have 755 permissions on the files (check with ls -l).

If that does not identify your problem see if you have the game/saves folder and the “$HOME/.renpy/_ARTEMIS.memories” It keeps a copy of the saves from previous so that new version don’t need to the game/saves folder that renpy keeps for the current game. On my machine this was created in chapter 4.

I've coppied over the saves from both the .5 save folder and the hidden renpy folder you mentioned.

Neither one loads.
It says An Exception has occured, etc....

I have no idea what's causing it.
Thanks for trying to help.

I might have to just replay from the beginning with this new version.
At least the .sh files worked.
