10 I recently bought Northgard, because the store page says that
11 it supports Linux, I downloaded it, tried to launch it, and it
12 didn't work. Does anyone know what needs to be done to get it
15 I tried running the run.sh file from the CLI, but that did not
16 work. The output it gives me is ./run.sh: line 1: ./linux/hl:
17 No such file or directory
19 ./run.sh: line 2: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory
21 So, I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'd like to keep
22 it, as I got it on sale, but if it doesn't work, I guess I'll
25 EDIT: There was a patch, it seems to be good now. I didn't do
30 It was fixed in another patch.
37 I can only suggest the classic things to try, but maybe they'll
40 Try validating game files
42 Try running steam in a terminal and see what gets printed out
43 when you try running the game. Maybe it'll give you a hint.
45 Try rebooting, especially if you haven't rebooted since you did
47 Maybe also check the game's Steam discussion forums, chances are
48 someone else is having the same issue.
51 I've already done all the other things. Just checked the
52 community page... A LOT of people are having the same issue.
53 So, I guess it'll probably get fixed.
57 Wait, I followed this game for awhile before removing that from
58 my wishlist. That was long time back in windows-time. I didn't
59 know it's available in Linux. Thanks for the nudge.
62 Heh, no problem! Hopefully this issue gets fixed soon.
66 Does this file presents there? If yes, make it executable.
69 I'm not sure I totally understand your suggestion.
72 Open game folder and check if linux/hl file exists. If it
73 exists, make it executable (right click, properties,
77 AH! Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I get a
79 Edit: They do exist, and they are executable.
85 If you paid for it then you're entitled to tech support. Contact
87 I can tell you that it works great for me in Ubuntu 18.04 with
88 Padoka PPA. You didn't describe your setup so it's hard to help
92 That's fair. My drivers are all up to date, just about every
93 other game works, and I'm on kubuntu 18.10
96 Kubuntu 18.10 isn't released yet so still a beta. Are you
97 using nvidia or amd hardware?
98 I can tell you that Northard works great in Ubuntu 18.04
100 Are you able to try it in anything resembling that?
101 I do urge you to contact the official tech support.
102 They'll know better than anyone what logs the game can
106 Yeah, I'll talk to them later today. I'm currently at
108 And I'm. On nvidia, most recent drivers, and I actually
109 did try it on 18.04 before. Not joy then either.
112 Ok. I can't advise you on Nvidia related stuff. Good
113 luck. It's a nice game. :)
116 Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
124 You should try it from the Northgard folder instead from the
125 linux folder and run it with './linux/run.sh'.
128 I think I tried that.
132 Works great for me on Arch Linux. What's your distribution,
136 Kubuntu, Nvidia gtx 1070, drivers are 396.54, intel 4790k.
