No, i don't want a refund - it's an early access game. And i love the concept of it!

I tried v7.17 today on 2 Linux machines - still the same problem. I tried any graphic options and resolutions

Also, i notices that some stats aren't right. For example: the temperature on the first island is 5950°C. Also the stats of leaves etc. are very different from the windows version (all have 5 suns, etc.).

For the windows-version, it was exactly the problem you described - it works fine with all other animals.

Wow in that case thanks for the trust and the bug reports! Really appreciated :). I just tried to reproduce your stats problem on Linux with v7.17, but no luck. I think your installation must have trouble reading the asset bundles, but I'm unsure how this could result in weird stats rather than just a crash.

So we now have two Unix problems (glitchy graphics and glitchy stats) that I cannot reproduce :(. If you have some time, would it be possible for you to send me a screenshot of the problems, and the error log? Can be found at "~/.config/unity3d/Wessel Stoop/The Sapling/"

Just a thought: Old Unity engine versions had problems with non-English locales, often leading to completely random problems. Could you try to start the game by prepending `LANG=C LC_ALL=C ` and check if that changes something?

THIS!!!

All problems with the Linux-Version are solved now!
Even the problems with missing graphics, flickering and wrong stats.

Thank you very much for this tip.

@Wessel Stoop:

You should put a starter with "LANG=C LC_ALL=C ./the_sapling.x86_64" in the Linux-package.

Wow, unbelievable, thank you so much ifo and SebastianPetters... if there's anything I can do for you to thank you, let me know. There will be another patch this week or next week, I'll make sure this is included.

You already did something for me - releasing a good game for Linux ;-)
