Update to my previous message: My friend and I both set up Debian with KDE and it works on our end with 3D acceleration disabled. (with a few transparency/camera issues here and there)
We also attempted to disable Vulkan support but it didn't fix the issue. I'm sorry, I think this could be a component related issue but I'm not 100% sure. As a last resort, you could try and run the game with -force-opengl command line if it helps.

(1 edit)

Here I use opengl by default, so it should run, but it doesn't, it quickly opens a window and closes right after, like it opens but closes in less than a second, maybe because computer is too old too? But as it's a game with ps1 graphics I thought it would run here, is there a list of minimum requisites necessary to run the game? Maybe it would help to know. And thank you for answering me and for the patience to try to fix this on linux, it's rare when developers answer the public and give this kind of attention, so thanks again, I appreciate that ^^

We'll still try to see if we can get the game to be compatible with most devices, for now we assume your computer has 3d acceleration which was giving us the same closing issue on our VMs but we'll see what can be done.

Actually my computer doesn't have 3D acceleration, I'm using a pentium dual core E5200 and 4gb of ram, I had a nvidia in the past but I lost it cause it overheated. I appreciate the support and I'll wait until it have a better compatibility.

Damn, so I guess it won't be that easy to resolve the issue.
The strength of your device shouldn't be a problem because not even the launcher starts on your end. Not even the splash screen shows up, which means something cancels the application before any resources are even loaded. There is probably something specific preventing the game to start because I had a Linux user test it out on their Xubuntu couple hours ago and it worked on their end (at least the launcher and main menu loaded). :/

Can you tell us what version of Debian you're using specifically? We used the newest 10.6 amd64 that we found on their website. Are all drivers up-to-date? If everything is up-to-date, do other unity Linux games work on your device without any extra configuration?

Lastly, could you send us a crash log here if there is one? It might tell us what's up if it ran into a problem. It should be located under home/.config/unity3D/Hades Production/Terminus/Player.log

Yes everything here is up-to-date. I'm using the same debian version as you. I can't test other linux games made with unity because most games are for windows only and also requires a graphic card and I don't have one =\  so I don't know if a game for a weak pc would work here, I don't know any that I could try. After seeing the log probably it's because my opengl it's too old =\

I'll leave some more detailed specs here:

Hey thank you so much for the info but we have some bad news: the log says you're using OpenGL 1.4 while the lowest compatible version for Unity is OpenGL 3.2 and up. There is no way for us to lower the compatibility, at least not to the version you currently have... which kinda blows because we were hoping to have the game run on old hardware but it seems it at least needs OpenGL 3.2+. There doesn't seem to be a workaround except upgrading. I'm really sorry but I hope there's a way you can update your OpenGL without the need of a graphic card.

Oh =\ well, that's ok. I can't buy a graphic card not even a new pc now cause the prices here a very expensive, I had the bad luck to be born in Brazil XD

But anyway, thank you for all the patience you had to try to help me, I appreciate that. And good luck to develope the rest of the game, it looks great so far ^^ I wish you all the best :)

Aye, I know the feeling. I hope things change for the better on your end.
Any time, thank You for your patience and info as well. I learned a lot about Linux this week. I'll do my best with the development and thank you for the kind words. Take care!
