Hi there! The Linux version of Cerasus doesn't seem to be working. There seems to be a library file missing. The error is as follows...

./Game: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's possible that this file was not bundled in with the release by mistake.

How odd. It may have been a case of either the export option for MV somehow not placing the file in, a version incompatibility or something else... I'll take the linux version down until I figure out a solution.

I wish you luck - with most commercial game engines, exporting to Linux is quite a bit finnicky 😅

Found a fix for the issue - Arch Linux users should install the 'lib32-gconf' package from the Arch User Repository, and Debian/Ubuntu users should install the 'libgconf-2-4' package using apt. GConf is an old, outdated package that used to be a dependency for Chromium on Linux, and RPG Maker MV games are running through Chromium. Guess MV just never removed the dependency, or its using an old version of Chromium.

Also, the game should be launched with the "nw" executable, not the "Game" executable on Linux since for some reason that doesn't work

If neither of those work - download version 0.38.2 of NW.js (https://nwjs.io/blog/v0.38.2/) and drop all the files into the root of the Cerasus folder... NW.js version 0.38.2 specifically is apparently the best for Linux compatibility with RPG Maker MV games

I shall add your solution to the post. Thank you very much!
