Having Linux issues...

I'm trying to run this on Linux, and so far I've found a binary, but it fails with:

error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0

Which I'm not really sure how to handle, as it looks like to fix system wide probably would require downgrading.

But the thing is, I've found that once you fix one of these, it means you often have other missing or wrong version libraries to handle.

I probably could fix it, but I just am not sure how to approach it. I see other itch.io games have a version which looks like it might work.

Having the same issue. Have had success launching the Windows version thru WINE.

Edit: and this was after it was complaining about libopenal, the x32 version of which turned out to be lacking. However for libcrypto I am up to date with all releases.

Sadly, I suspect that they don’t really look here. My comment about, “not sure how to fix this,” was more along the lines of, “I’m not sure what to point a developer to, in order to fix it”. I think at the time, I was aware that version was no longer available on my distribution. It’s 1.0.2 is masked, and that’s the oldest version I see. And this is requesting specifically (as of when I posted) 1.0.0. Which would mean having to manually install it.

I had the best luck with the demo on Steam, which I had forgotten about prior to replying here. It’s possible that they’re not looking here any more. The Steam version has a native build that works excellently so I suggest you try there!

Yeah, I don’t do Steam. I had 2FA attached to my phone number, lost my phone number, and the only thing I could do was delete my account, thus forever losing everything I had there. And I have tried to create an account, and I’m not sure if it’s because they are doing some “system detection” or something that because it “fails if it doesn’t pass” and they haven’t allowed it to pass for a system that looks like mine, or if there’s something more to it.

That sucks, sorry to hear that.

I’m not sure I’m too bothered by it. I probably wouldn’t really play the games anyway. I might play enough that I’m like “yeah I got enough to have justified the game…” but that’s really generous sometimes.
