suppose game name is Karlson and it is inside a folder named KalrsonLinux

I first use chmod +x Karlson then ./Karlson

it says

Set current directory to home/user/KarlsonLinux

Found path: home/user/KarlsonLinux/Karlson

it it doesn't open game. What should I do?

Contact the game's creator and let them know, because it sounds like the game starts up but crashes right away.

It is happening with all of the games, i downloaded 15 games and none of them worked

All of them with the exact same error message?

Are they all made with Unity, by any chance?

asmit28033 years ago

yeah all are made in unity, those which are not built in unity are working just fine

I can't run any games made with Unity either. Most of them want a fancy dedicated GPU, not on-board graphics. Not sure if there's another cause on top of that. Edit: but at least they usually open the configuration dialog first, and only crash when I try to actually start the game.

yeah it happens on some of the games, it give options to select resolution and shows keyboard controls. Just 3 of the 15 I tested does that. other shows that thing which I posted. But those which requires GPU also says that your graphics card is out dated or something like that.

I will try asking in unity forum if there is any.
