Doesn't get past initial splash screen
Loads but never reaches play. Or menu. Does report an 'unexpected error' dialog but it closes and has no text
This game used to work fine. Recent updates to fedora 35 from 34 seems to have made the game unplayable.
Mouse control does not allow me to turn completely in game. Turning on raw mouse input in options does expand movement but makes it choppy and very very buggy.
Could not control view beyond a 180 by 180 degree arc so it seemed.
This seems related to fedora upgrade. This could be a libs issue or it could be the kernel.
In earlier versions of fedora, ran beautifully from 35 onwards there seems to be issues currently.
Mouse movement would not let me turn around the whole way. I tried turning on raw input in options, same problem.
At a guess its a kernel issue or patch issue in the game itself.
Great game !
You have to switch to raw input which NOW works or the view spins around and around.
Either the kernel updates and/or the portal 2 updates fixed the earlier problem or some combination of both ! Would be nice if people stopped trying to murder my generation by uknowingly aging us to death thanks !
It mostly runs if you follow the information provided.
If the game froze in fullscreen it effectively locked me out of my whole deskop, I had to log out because I couldn't switch to any other windows once the game froze. Switching to a windowed game fixes this.
In full screen most especially once you task switch.
The game runs on fedora version 34 with Gnome 40 installed, seamlessly can switch between windows and tasks while playing.
Windowed mode cut off bottom of screen on Gnome 40 Had to adjust settings downward
I had to add a tweak as reported on stack exchange, freetype lib was crashing game.
Game was crashing on startup, not even a splash screen complaining of freetype library binary.
Adding this to launch options, again, worked.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 %command%
Freezes on splash screen, cpu usage barely moving
The game starts and the splash screen loads and the no mas. Nothing else. It just sits there and in the system monitor barely even a % usage is reported.
This game used to rock on linux ! It ran fine on Fedora 34, but not on Fedora 35.
I've tried reinstalling since alot of patches started applying around the time it stopped running. No dice.
Play this game ! and buy there expensive freemium crap, because someone needs to lol
This game runs the best of any I played on Linux thus far right out of the box from Fedora 34 onwards !
