Great game, great HRTF, great experience!
It might depending on the Distro, me personally on Nobara (Fedora 39) I had to delete the libm.so.6 file
This is based of the demo, failed to start, reviewed console and found this error: "./lib/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /lib64/libmvec.so.1)"
I deleted "libm.so.6" from "/gameDirectory/lib/" and it worked without issue after this. The solution was based on this answer: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1072150/discussions/0/3380536561712068126/#c5401527630808760554
Need to replace libm.so.6
You need to remove libm.so.6 and replace it with the one in /usr/lib if your Linux distro has moved to LLVM16:
cd to Steam/steamapps/common/Hedon Bloodrite/lib/ mv libm.so.6 libm.so.6.old ln -s /usr/lib/libm.so.6 libm.so.6
Game crashes on launch.
Just works!
It just works!
Works perfectly fine with Native version.
Manual binding of joystick to arrows
The game does not recognise analog gamepad buttons like the joysticks or triggers. These had to be reconfigured to keyboard buttons.
Be mindful that this game needs a LOT of button assignments and you will need to use the D-pad or left track pad to assign extra keys like swim up or down, scroll item left & right, etc. It can be tricky to keep track of the button assignments.
After all this the game played perfectly from a technical stand point but the game is clearly not designed for a gamepad - mouse aim never felt quite right with the right joystick and the trackpad, while better, doesn't offer enough (as in, both fast enough to quickly turn but accurate enough to aim accurately) to make it an enjoyable experience but this may be fixed with more tweaking.
As such, I'd say the game is perfectly playable ... but not that enjoyable for me because of lack of native joypad support which makes "mouse" aim difficult.
Also note the game was way too dark by default. I had to crank up gamma quite a bit.
Great game, it's worth it to play it on Linux, i couldn't play it on Windows for a long time.
OpenGl Troubles with gzdoom. If for some reason you can't run it because of this, look into the game folder, there must be a file called "Launch Hedon", add a line in the end with this: gzdoom -glversion 3.3
Before launching the game, be sure to have installed gzdoom on your system.
If you're having troubles to play it for OpenGl, be sure to add a line in the end of "Launch Hedon" (a .sh file you'll find on the game folder), with this: gzdoom -glversion 3.3
And, be sure to have installed on your system gzdoom before launching the game.
