I downloaded the linux version, and extracted the file to my games folder. Inside there is a lot of "sharedassets" files and a few folders: plugins, resources, Managed ... 

My application launcher does not see the game, (so no .desktop file was made i assume?), and i really dont understand how to open the game :(
Any help would be appreciated

Your computer might not see the game as executable or “runnable”. This is the fault of the game distributor. Open a terminal and go to the folder your game’s executable is in. You can do ls to check if it is there. It might have an extension like .x86_64. Run the following command, replacing NAME with the game’s executable filename:

chmod +x NAME

Chmod is a program that changes the file permissions. +x is an arguments to chmod, which says “make this an executable program”, and finaly NAME should be the name of whatever file you want to make executable. You should then try running the game from your terminal:

./NAME

Let me know if it works!

The reason you don’t do this on Windows, is because Windows uses the extension .exe which signifies that if you double click it, you expect it to run. While on Linux, there is no standard filename extension for programs, so you tell your filesystem which files should be runnable with chmod +x filename. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for your reply. I am looking around for such a file to give it executable-ness but cant find it. I have ended up at the assets files over and over :p.

I am re-installing the x64 game, and will give it another shot 

Okay, no. I can not find any file that could be the runner. I cant even find any .sh for a .desktop file ;(
