With the last two updates on Linux my experience is not that great:

- there is no music/FX in the game any longer

- when the map loads, menus cannot be opened, bottom right UI elements are not responsive

- villagers can be selected but there are no actions available for them

Also it would be nice if you put a link to the game executable in the main directory, not just the updater, so I can launch the game like before and not going to the data directory and executing it from there.

Feel free to reach out if you need me to provide logs/screenshots/videos.

Are you on Ubuntu?

I'm not sure if this is related to the self-patcher not working as it should. We haven't really made any major changes to the game besides that.

The missing music and SFX is interesting though. The sound system probably crashes and anything you do in the game causes problems because of that, since most UI elements play sound when you interact with them. Will try to figure out why this happens.

When the updater works as intended, you're supposed to use that as an executable every time you open the game so you always have the newest version. :)

I am not using Ubuntu, my distro of choice is Void Linux, it is very different from Ubuntu but the game was running fine prior version 0.6.0.X.

Tried with the latest version - the same bugs are still present. I do have a log of the crash, please take a look.

Thanks. The same errors happen for Ubuntu users. We're fairly confident at this point that the problem is with the sound system we use (FMOD). I hope it's an easy fix.

We'll launch a new version of the Linux updater that automatically sets the necessary requirements today so that patching the game should be easy.

FMOD, the music system we're using, has a bug with the version of Unity we're using for Linux, and they have fixed it in their newest version. We're going to upgrade the the newest FMOD version tomorrow and will upload a new Linux build then.

If you find the time, please let us know if 0.6.0.3 works better for you. It doesn't include the patcher system.
