+ 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?
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.
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.
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)
AH! Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I get a chance.
Edit: They do exist, and they are executable.
That's fair. My drivers are all up to date, just about every other game works, and I'm on kubuntu 18.10
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.
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.
Ok. I can't advise you on Nvidia related stuff. Good luck. It's a nice game. :)
Works great for me on Arch Linux. What's your distribution, drivers, hardware?
Kubuntu, Nvidia gtx 1070, drivers are 396.54, intel 4790k.
