Thanks for making an awesome game.  And even more thanks for making a Linux version!  I finally got around to giving it a try.  I get as far as the splash screen, but then it crashes:

$ ./SuperVHS.sh
4.27.0-17155196+++UE4+Release-4.27 522 0

Disabling core dumps.

Looking for binary: ../../../SuperVHS/Config/BinaryConfig.ini

Unable to read VR Path Registry from /home/scottfk/.config/openvr/openvrpaths.vrpath

MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

That .sym file is in fact nowhere to be found:
$ find . -name SuperVHS-Linux-Shipping.sym
<nada>


Happy to help debug.

Sorry you're having problems. I'm not experienced with Linux so I may be of limited help! This looks like a memory allocation problem (which could be hardware or game related), and the missing sym is symbolic link to the file that should exist in the folder anyway? At least, I can see it is packaged there on my end.

What is your hardware? "MESA-INTEL: warning: Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete" I wonder if this line is referring to an iGPU, which definitely wouldn't work.

Some people have had success playing the linux build through Proton and Steam, though, and I found this discussion/response to the same error:

"For those looking for an answer, try specify opengl version when running your game"
"I got it running on my machine by adding “-opengl4” option when running"

Let me know how you go!
