  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
  13     to work?
  14
  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
  18
  19     ./run.sh: line 2: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory
  20
  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
  23     have to refund it.
  24
  25     EDIT:  There  was a patch, it seems to be good now. I didn't do
  26     anything to fix it.

  30      It was fixed in another patch.

  33         Good to know!

  37      I can only suggest the classic things to try, but maybe they'll
  38      help:
  39
  40      Try validating game files
  41
  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.
  44
  45      Try rebooting, especially if you haven't rebooted since you did
  46      a system update.
  47      Maybe also check the game's Steam discussion forums, chances are
  48      someone else is having the same issue.

  50      ** T0RB1T
  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.
  60
  61      ** T0RB1T
  62         Heh, no problem! Hopefully this issue gets fixed soon.
  63
  64
  65   ** Shished
  66      Does this file presents there? If yes, make it executable.
  67
  68      ** T0RB1T
  69         I'm not sure I totally understand your suggestion.
  70
  71         ** Shished
  72            Open game folder and check if linux/hl file exists. If it
  73            exists, make it executable (right click, properties,
  74            permissions)
  75
  76            ** T0RB1T
  77               AH! Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I get a
  78               chance.
  79               Edit: They do exist, and they are executable.

  85      If you paid for it then you're entitled to tech support. Contact
  86      the creator?
  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
  89      you.

  91      ** T0RB1T
  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
  94
  95         ** Nurgus
  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
  99            and Mesa 18.1.
 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
 103            kick out.
 104
 105            ** T0RB1T
 106               Yeah, I'll talk to them later today. I'm currently at
 107               work.
 108               And I'm. On nvidia, most recent drivers, and I actually
 109               did try it on 18.04 before. Not joy then either.
 110
 111               ** Nurgus
 112                  Ok. I can't advise you on Nvidia related stuff. Good
 113                  luck. It's a nice game. :)
 114
 115                  ** T0RB1T
 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'.
 126
 127      ** T0RB1T
 128         I think I tried that.

 131   ** headless_cyborg
 132      Works great for me on Arch Linux. What's your distribution,
 133      drivers, hardware?
 134
 135      ** T0RB1T
 136         Kubuntu, Nvidia gtx 1070, drivers are 396.54, intel 4790k.
