Northgard won't launch, any ideas?

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
./run.sh: line 2: ./linux/hl: No such file or directory
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.
EDIT: There was a patch, it seems to be good now. I didn't do anything to fix it.

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

I've already done all the other things. Just checked the community page... A LOT of people are having the same issue.
So, I guess it'll probably get fixed.

Wait, I followed this game for awhile before removing that from my wishlist. That was long time back in windows-time. I didn't know it's available in Linux. Thanks for the nudge.
T0RB1T
Heh, no problem! Hopefully this issue gets fixed soon.

Does this file presents there? If yes, make it executable.
T0RB1T
I'm not sure I totally understand your suggestion.

Open game folder and check if linux/hl file exists. If it exists, make it executable (right click, properties, permissions)
T0RB1T
AH! Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I get a chance.
Edit: They do exist, and they are executable.

If you paid for it then you're entitled to tech support. Contact the creator?
I can tell you that it works great for me in Ubuntu 18.04 with Padoka PPA. You didn't describe your setup so it's hard to help you.
T0RB1T
That's fair. My drivers are all up to date, just about every other game works, and I'm on kubuntu 18.10
Nurgus
Kubuntu 18.10 isn't released yet so still a beta. Are you using nvidia or amd hardware?
I can tell you that Northard works great in Ubuntu 18.04 and Mesa 18.1.
Are you able to try it in anything resembling that?
I do urge you to contact the official tech support. They'll know better than anyone what logs the game can kick out.
T0RB1T
Yeah, I'll talk to them later today. I'm currently at work.
And I'm. On nvidia, most recent drivers, and I actually did try it on 18.04 before. Not joy then either.
Nurgus
Ok. I can't advise you on Nvidia related stuff. Good luck. It's a nice game. :)
T0RB1T
Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

You should try it from the Northgard folder instead from the linux folder and run it with './linux/run.sh'.
T0RB1T
I think I tried that.

Works great for me on Arch Linux. What's your distribution, drivers, hardware?
T0RB1T
Kubuntu, Nvidia gtx 1070, drivers are 396.54, intel 4790k.

It was fixed in another patch.
T0RB1T
Good to know!
