I do hope that I created the thread under correct category... and I do hope that someone is more tech-savy regarding the matter than I am.
I am trying to get "The Charnel House Trilogy" to run under Manjaro (distro should not make much difference actually as we can use System or Steam libraries - both result in the same outcome). The issue is that when I open the game through Steam, I get nothing. Title in the library just blinks blue as it syncs the last session. Seems like a crash. So I took the terminal output when starting the game. Here's what I found:
Ok, according to last entry it fails to detect the ags64. So I went to the actual folder, verified that the file was there and tried starting it directly from the 64bit binary:
Fine, what I can tell is that the executable is unable to locate "libagsteam.so" in the "data" directory. The library file is further down the tree ".../data/lib64/libagsteam.so".
So what I did was that I either created a symlink or bluntly copied the library to the "data" directory. The result is that I can now start the game from terminal like "./ags64" but there is no audio output whatsoever. (no music, vox, sound)
Here's yet another output, when libraries are linked or copied and when executing the game from terminal:
The fun part is that I also contacted the developers about the matter and they were baffled regarding the matter yet very positive and friendly. They promised to look for the issues from their end and I promised to ask around for some community help. And now, here we are... if anyone has any ideas which might take me any further, I'd much appreciate it!
And I'm terribly sorry if I made the post in an incorrect sub-forum!
Edit:
Aigh, forgot to add that I can test this on 2 different systems - one running intelHD video, the other running nvidia-prop GTX970.
Update:
I noticed the broken link in steamapp folder:
I fixed the link but when launching the game via steam, it automatically re-creates the broken link and overwrites the fixed one.
Unsure if that would fix the launching feature through Steam directly but it's something to look at.
I'll keep on searching.
