Linux user here, I'm having trouble running the game. Well, it runs, and I get sound, but the video is just a flashing screen that varies in colour from gray to green to blue and back again.  

When I run it using the terminal, it says it's unable to preload ScreenSelector.so and libsteam_api.so, so maybe it's got something to do with those.  Both are in the Plugins folder, so they're present just apparently not preloading.

Hey! Sorry about this. Theoretically the .so files should not be the issue, can you try running the game with -force-glcore -force-glcore42 flags?
What's your hardware config?

It's okay, these things come up. I tried the flags but they don't seem to have any effect. Sounds work, music works, and it chooses the correct monitor. But it still gives me a slowly flashing screen that shifts through what I expect is the dominant colour of the opening. No error messages other than that it can't preload those two files.

As for hardware, I'm running a 64-bit Intel i7-8700  with 16GB memory and a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. If it helps, I'm running Ubuntu-MATE 20.04.

Yeah, that hardware config should be certainly enough.
Sorry about the problem. If you feel like exploring this further, can you see if there is Player.log file in the following folder:

$XDG_DATA_HOME/unity3d/ColdwildGames/RebelStory
?

You can also try changing -force-glcore42 to -force-glcore32 or -force-glcore44.

Sorry again and thanks for letting me know.

There is a Player.log file. It seems like it tries to load data-0x5251630.so  a few times and fails because that isn't in the Mono/x86_64 folder, and then tries a large number of times to load libudev.so, which fails for the same reason.

Got it. I've tested it on Ubuntu 18 before releasing it and it seemed to have been working. Super sorry about this, but I'm afraid I can't really debug it right now because I don't have the relevant ubuntu machine available. 

I get graphical glitches on Manjaro Linux too, but the Steam version works fine. Is the version on Itchio up to date?

Hey! I've tried to solve the issue and uploaded the new DRM-free Linux build. Can anyone see if this works?
Sorry again and thanks for letting me know.

Now it works fine, but there's a Linux folder inside with another copy of the game, one copy is enough, XD. Thanks.

exact same issue here. rtx2060, 32G RAM, i7-8700, ubuntu 18.04.4rts

Uploaded a new linux build, maybe this helps; sorry about this)

no :( still the same problem :(

Are you using itch.io launcher? I've replaced the archive and it seems to be different now and does not auto-update for people, can you try deleting and re-downloading the game?

Reuploaded the linux build, maybe this helps

It works! I had to fully uninstall the game and reinstall with the new version because for some reason it wasn't updating, but it's perfectly fine now.

Thank you for your hard work. You rock.
