Same problem here - it would be amazing if this could be fixed, as the game's intro was so extremely promising!

Does the Linux version run for anyone (except the developer)? I've tested it on three different machines with three different distributions (Slackware64 current with proprietary NVIDIA driver, openSUSE Leap 15.0 with radeon driver and Ubuntu 18.04 with open source nvidia driver), and on all of them there is no sound and the game is just freezing after a few seconds in the game...

To be sure I just tried with Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.10 (on another PC by the way) with the same result: As soon as I press any keyboard key on the title screen the game will just crash... I still think this is a general problem with the Linux build ;-)

Is the Linux version working for anyone? As soon as I press any button on the title screen the game will just crash for me with a floating point exception both on Slackware64 14.2 and on openSUSE Leap 42.3...

Thanks a lot for gathering the information! A GOG code in the box would be amazing, but I guess I'll have to wait for some more definite confirmation though. I don't want to end up with a DVD containing the Windows version only and a Steam code :-P

I just found out about the game today (I have no idea why I missed the Kickstarter back then) and was really glad that it's still possible to get the physical version!

Just for confirmation before I back, as I didn't find any specific information about it: I guess the physical version will contain the game for all platforms (i.e. Linux, Mac and Windows) on the physical media, and those will be DRM free versions (i.e. not require Steam to install or play the game), correct?

Looking for the Latin version (as specified in "More information" -> "Languages"). Unfortunately only found an English and Spanish version :-P

The Windows download also contains the Linux version (as indicated by the icons next to the download link - and I can confirm that it really does ;-)).

I don't understand the Cyrillic text, but I'm pretty sure it says that it's not working on Ubuntu 16.04 with the following console output. Because that's exactly the same output on Slackware, where the game doesn't start either ;-)

Thanks a lot, that solved it!

Thanks a lot for the quick response! Unfortunately the new Rewired version still shows the same behavior.

I did some further debugging though and added the results to the Rewired Unity forum thread. Hopefully the developer will be able to fix the problem...

No, this is not a topic whether keyboard / mouse or gamepad controls are better :-)

I'm having a different problem: On Linux (Slackware64 14.2 in my case) and with two different console gamepad converters (EMS Trio Linker Plus II and Bliss Box) the game is crashing on start if a controller is connected. Judging from the log (see below) the input library seems to cause the crash. Apart from that the game is running perfectly and is perfect fun - thanks a lot!
