22 I recently bought Northgard, because the store page says that it supports Linux, I downloaded it, tried to launch it, and it didn
't work. Does anyone know what needs to be done to get it to work?
<br/><br/>I tried running the run.sh file from the CLI, but that did not work. The output it gives me is ./run.sh: line
1: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory
<br/><br/>./run.sh: line
2: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory
<br/><br/>So, I
'm not sure what to do at this point, I
'd like to keep it, as I got it on sale, but if it doesn
't work, I guess I
'll have to refund it.
<br/><br/>EDIT: There was a patch, it seems to be good now. I didn
't do anything to fix it.

><p>I can only suggest the classic things to try, but maybe they'll help:
</p><p></p><p>Try validating game files
</p><p></p><p>Try running steam in a terminal and see what gets printed out when you try running the game. Maybe it'll give you a hint.
</p><p></p><p>Try rebooting, especially if you haven't rebooted since you did a system update.
</p><p>Maybe also check the game's Steam discussion forums, chances are someone else is having the same issue.

</p><p>So, I guess it'll probably get fixed.

18.04 with Padoka PPA. You didn't describe your setup so it's hard to help you.

18.10 isn't released yet so still a beta. Are you using nvidia or amd hardware?
</p><p>I can tell you that Northard works great in Ubuntu
18.04 and Mesa
18.1.
</p><p>Are you able to try it in anything resembling that?
</p><p>I do urge you to contact the official tech support. They'll know better than anyone what logs the game can kick out.
