itch.io

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.

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

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.

Thanks for the quick reply. 

uname -m confirms that I am running x86_64.

libfmodstudio.so is present in the installation directory (installed via the itch app), but per the error log, it looks like the game is looking  for fmodstudio.so, which is not present, along with a couple of others. Here are relevant-seeming lines from the log:

/home/michael/.config/itch/apps/dwerg-saga/fmodstudio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libfmod.so.11: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument
libfmodstudio.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/home/michael/.config/itch/apps/dwerg-saga/fmodstudio: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/home/michael/.config/itch/apps/dwerg-saga/libfmodstudio: cannot open shared object file: No such file or director

Any further suggestions? I am a rank amateur with Linux, so it is all pretty cryptic to me. Thanks for any additional help.

The game crashes on launch for me on Linux (Ubuntu 26.04 LTS). From the log file it looks like the installation is missing 'fmodstuio.so' and related files.

This would make a great iOS/iPad game. Hope this might be considered in the future.

There seem to be some growing pains for moving to a mac with M1 processor, and I suspect this might be one of those. I don't think I'll pursue it further but thank you again for your responses.

Sounds like a different file from what I have, this one is many pages long. The path you specify doesn't seem to exist in my system--I have Library/LOVE/SquareWorld in my user directory, but no "errors" folder or file inside. Doesn't appear I can run the game or help with a solution, but thanks again for responding.

Edit: No, there is no custom gray screen. The newly-created world shows for a fraction of a second, then just desktop with a window from the OS saying the app has quit unexpectedly.

Thanks for the reply. There are no saves or errors directories under LOVE on my system, but there is a file with suffix ".ips" in the user Logs folder. If that might be useful I'd be happy to send, but I don't see any way to attach a file to this post in itch.

This looks like it could be fun, but on a MacBook with M1 Pro processor and the latest version of LOVE, the demo crashes within a second or two of generating a new world. Are there any prospects for a fix, or reasons to expect the full version to work better? Thanks for any information or advice.

Understood. Thanks for the reply and pending update! I hope the full release will happen here, too.

Is the itch version abandoned? As of this writing it seems to be more than 3 months behind Steam, including a major update more than a month ago.
