Using the Linux download (dwerg-saga-linux.zip, version 2) from the itch download page, I still encounter the same problem. The executable crashes with a long string of errors beginning with:

fmodstudio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As with the download via the itch app, inspection of the files shows  no fmodstudio.so, though there are related ones like libfmodstudio.so. Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Hi again and thank you for persisting! This looks like a change in Linux that prevents running certain libraries. You can see other games have had this problem, for example https://steamcommunity.com/app/330020/discussions/1/594032343582444765/#c8406104...

I'll make a release in the next couple of days that should fix this. If you'd prefer to fix it yourself you can:

1. Install execstack: 

sudo apt install execstack

2. Remove RWE/RWX from the FMOD libraries. From your installation directory (`/home/michael/.config/itch/apps/dwerg-saga/`):

execstack -c libfmod.so
execstack -c libfmod.so.11
execstack -c libfmod.so.11.8

Let me know how you get on.

With thanks,

Jock

Thank you for your quick responses. If you will be releasing a fix soon I’ll wait for that.

Latest version v0.24.1.0 has a speculative fix for this in it. Speculative because I'm not running a version of Linux that demonstrated the bug.

It works! After updating I  was able to launch the app, adjust settings, and create a new clan and world without problems.

Thank you for your responsiveness and for the quick fix.
