I downloaded the linux version, but I can't figure out which file runs the game. I've tried Game.desktop and a few other files, but none of them worked. The handful of games I've downloaded for linux have used a .sh or a .py file, but there are no such files in the game folder, so I have no idea. Help please?

Hello! You need these steps:

  1. Go to the game folder
  2. Open it in the terminal
  3. Run command chmod +x nw
  4. Run command ./nw

It doesn’t look easy, but that’s why we love linux 😁

Thank you! Unfortunately, when I followed the instructions, the terminal threw up a list of errors and didn't launch the game. Looking at the error output, I think the errors might be distro specific and not necessarily the game, I'm not sure. I'm not well-versed in understanding console error messages. Did you want me to post a screenshot of it here? I run Fedora 40 with Plasma by the way.

Not sure if I can help as I’ve been testing on Ubuntu

What do you think about downloading the win version and running it with wine?

Well, I've been using Bottles for the previous versions of the game and know how to run that with no issues. I just figured since you went through all the effort to make a Linux version, that I would download that and give it shot. Bummer that Fedora isn't playing nice. Anyways, I'll just use Bottles then.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

We will try to figure out why the game doesn’t work with Fedora

I took a screenshot of the errors I got in the terminal. Would it be helpful to you if I were to post the image here?

A screenshot and the text itself, if you’d be comfortable with that, please
