| 10 | I recently bought Northgard, because the store page says that\r |
| 11 | it supports Linux, I downloaded it, tried to launch it, and it\r |
| 12 | didn't work. Does anyone know what needs to be done to get it\r |
| 13 | to work?\r |
| 14 | \r |
| 15 | I tried running the run.sh file from the CLI, but that did not\r |
| 16 | work. The output it gives me is ./run.sh: line 1: ./linux/hl:\r |
| 17 | No such file or directory\r |
| 18 | \r |
| 19 | ./run.sh: line 2: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory\r |
| 20 | \r |
| 21 | So, I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'd like to keep\r |
| 22 | it, as I got it on sale, but if it doesn't work, I guess I'll\r |
| 23 | have to refund it.\r |
| 24 | \r |
| 25 | EDIT: There was a patch, it seems to be good now. I didn't do\r |
| 26 | anything to fix it.\r |
| 27 | \r |
| 28 | \r |
| 29 | ** liamdawe\r |
| 30 | It was fixed in another patch.\r |
| 31 | \r |
| 32 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 33 | Good to know!\r |
| 34 | \r |
| 35 | \r |
| 36 | ** OnceInATre0n\r |
| 37 | I can only suggest the classic things to try, but maybe they'll\r |
| 38 | help:\r |
| 39 | \r |
| 40 | Try validating game files\r |
| 41 | \r |
| 42 | Try running steam in a terminal and see what gets printed out\r |
| 43 | when you try running the game. Maybe it'll give you a hint.\r |
| 44 | \r |
| 45 | Try rebooting, especially if you haven't rebooted since you did\r |
| 46 | a system update.\r |
| 47 | Maybe also check the game's Steam discussion forums, chances are\r |
| 48 | someone else is having the same issue.\r |
| 49 | \r |
| 50 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 51 | I've already done all the other things. Just checked the\r |
| 52 | community page... A LOT of people are having the same issue.\r |
| 53 | So, I guess it'll probably get fixed.\r |
| 54 | \r |
| 55 | \r |
| 56 | ** arijitlive\r |
| 57 | Wait, I followed this game for awhile before removing that from\r |
| 58 | my wishlist. That was long time back in windows-time. I didn't\r |
| 59 | know it's available in Linux. Thanks for the nudge.\r |
| 60 | \r |
| 61 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 62 | Heh, no problem! Hopefully this issue gets fixed soon.\r |
| 63 | \r |
| 64 | \r |
| 65 | ** Shished\r |
| 66 | Does this file presents there? If yes, make it executable.\r |
| 67 | \r |
| 68 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 69 | I'm not sure I totally understand your suggestion.\r |
| 70 | \r |
| 71 | ** Shished\r |
| 72 | Open game folder and check if linux/hl file exists. If it\r |
| 73 | exists, make it executable (right click, properties,\r |
| 74 | permissions)\r |
| 75 | \r |
| 76 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 77 | AH! Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I get a\r |
| 78 | chance.\r |
| 79 | Edit: They do exist, and they are executable.\r |

| 85 | If you paid for it then you're entitled to tech support. Contact\r |
| 86 | the creator?\r |
| 87 | I can tell you that it works great for me in Ubuntu 18.04 with\r |
| 88 | Padoka PPA. You didn't describe your setup so it's hard to help\r |
| 89 | you.\r |
| 90 | \r |
| 91 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 92 | That's fair. My drivers are all up to date, just about every\r |
| 93 | other game works, and I'm on kubuntu 18.10\r |
| 94 | \r |
| 95 | ** Nurgus\r |
| 96 | Kubuntu 18.10 isn't released yet so still a beta. Are you\r |
| 97 | using nvidia or amd hardware?\r |
| 98 | I can tell you that Northard works great in Ubuntu 18.04\r |
| 99 | and Mesa 18.1.\r |
| 100 | Are you able to try it in anything resembling that?\r |
| 101 | I do urge you to contact the official tech support.\r |
| 102 | They'll know better than anyone what logs the game can\r |
| 103 | kick out.\r |
| 104 | \r |
| 105 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 106 | Yeah, I'll talk to them later today. I'm currently at\r |
| 107 | work.\r |
| 108 | And I'm. On nvidia, most recent drivers, and I actually\r |
| 109 | did try it on 18.04 before. Not joy then either.\r |
| 110 | \r |
| 111 | ** Nurgus\r |
| 112 | Ok. I can't advise you on Nvidia related stuff. Good\r |
| 113 | luck. It's a nice game. :)\r |
| 114 | \r |
| 115 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 116 | Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.\r |
| 117 | \r |

| 123 | ** bitstoppa\r |
| 124 | You should try it from the Northgard folder instead from the\r |
| 125 | linux folder and run it with './linux/run.sh'.\r |
| 126 | \r |
| 127 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 128 | I think I tried that.\r |
| 129 | \r |
| 130 | \r |
| 131 | ** headless_cyborg\r |
| 132 | Works great for me on Arch Linux. What's your distribution,\r |
| 133 | drivers, hardware?\r |
| 134 | \r |
| 135 | ** T0RB1T\r |
| 136 | Kubuntu, Nvidia gtx 1070, drivers are 396.54, intel 4790k.\r |
