What issues does the flatpak one have? I've been using it for several months now without issues?

i don't know. sometimes in packages snap works better and sometimes flatpak and sometimes theres no differrence

Quoting: Linuxerok nice for being so kind. i got it to download and i extracted and clicked the file theforceengine

but nothing happens. i mean maybe i should just wait for the next version ... im not getting anywhere :/

You need to launch it from the 'play.sh' file. If that doesn't run it still, chances are you're missing some libraries. Open up a terminal and run the 'depcheck.sh' file, it will tell you what's missing.

ok i tried clicking the play file too and it also does nothingh. nevermind i can just wait. i was wondering why those missing things cant be on that zip file ppl download from github? all there and click that play file?

I think you're nearly there, what you're missing are just some libraries. Running the 'depcheck.sh' file in terminal will list what's missing.

i clicked it but it came with a nag dialog that i should not run the file for secutiry reasons. welll its ok! i will just wait thanks so much anyway.

i thought to try it out and i can see the file and the main page but when i try to download it doesn't:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

now what :dizzy:

I've uploaded the file elsewhere, could you try it? https://ufile.io/3f9vnbyl [External Link]

Quoting: Linuxermaybe you could send it to the developer? and he could add it to the github and we would all just easily download it and get to play dark forces already

@Avehicle7887

Besides not being very familiar with github (I only know a few basic stuff), I don't wish get involved.

If you manage to download the package and run into further issues let me know though :smile:

Quoting: Avehicle7887Here's a portable pre-compiled binary of the latest version. I tried to include all the important dependencies however you may still require to install some of them for your distro. You can run the "depcheck.sh" file, it will print all the libraries the game is still missing.

Game files are not included of course.

oh thanks but i guess i'll just wait. those coding things really give me an instant headache.

Meanwhile in Arch-based, we have a beautiful AUR package ready to do it for you. :happy::tongue:
