Hi there samapatti!

The linux versions of the game can be a bit temperamental at times.

Sometimes the Game.desktop shortcut that is generated from the build decides not to work on some distros.

Try shift-clicking in the folder of the game, and click “Open in Terminal”, then type “./nw” and hit enter.

If this does not work, try making the file executable by running “sudo chmod +x nw” in the same terminal, then “./nw” again.

If that does not run the game then, the terminal should at least provide some insightful information to what else could be going wrong.

I’d be happy to provide any further assistance either here, or at our discord here!

Thanks for supporting us!

Thanks, that's great help. Since now I could see what's probably going on/wrong. Terminal spits out these error messages:

Hope that helps and will joing the Discord, too, in a few.

Hi there samapatti,

It looks like that is a conflict with an outdated version of nwjs.

To fix this, you can try downloading version 0.43.6 from here: https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.43.6/nwjs-v0.43.6-linux-x64.tar.gz

Once downloaded, open the archive and extract the files over the top of the game folder, overwriting any files when asked.

Hopefully this should fix the issue and allow you to run the game!

If you still encounter any issues, please attempt to redownload the game as a new version with an updated nwjs library has been uploaded.

Thanks for supporting us!

Well, after our a resolution of the whole process on Discord, I just wanted to let others who might run into the same problem know, that they should use the "7z x" command to unpack the zip-file since after doing that (and you uploading a recompiled version even), the game runs pretty smoothly when started with "./nw" from the terminal.

Thanks for figuring this out with me, Lord Bastion! <3
