Libc issues, really? Oh boy... whatyearisit.gif :huh:
But wait! There's more!

Launching from terminal...
error: missing libsndio6.1 - My distro is on libsndio7.0. Quick copy old lib from another location into the Prison Architect/lib64 dir, ok.
error: no appID found - Create steam_appid.txt as described above, ok.

Hey presto, game runs from terminal. Launcher still borked in Steam.

I needed to alter the path to libc thusly.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 %command%

Hey presto again, both launcher and game runs now from Steam. Ugh.

Turns out words have consequences, who knew... well, Stallman should have known.

At this point it doesn't matter what or how he said anything. The fact that he said anything at all about those topics was enough. We don't live in a society where you can discuss things like that without it turning into a royal shitstorm.
If anything, I'm amazed he hasn't been kicked to the curb until now.

Game looks interesting... but what the frack is up with the quality on that Youtube video? That's the worst looking 1080p I've seen in years.

Probably all of those work. I use 4.11-3 at the moment.
The black screen/white bar crash is unfortunately still with us, regardless of version... DL is going on 5 years now. Still haven't nailed the cause for that bug. Windows gamers get that one too, I daresay more often than Linux gamers do.

A few tips then:
- The only commandline option I say is near vital, is -nologos and other than that, a well updated system with recent kernel and drivers should work.

- I can't tell you how many Windows users fixed their crashes by lowering GPU clock speed just a little, like 100 MHz. This game taxes your rig hard, even today. Just saying.

- Always worth checking file integrity.

- Commandline option -windowed, or delete the full screen setting in the config file, and/or even nuke the file entirely.

If nothing else, you can at least play the native version. I did too. Finished first playthrough with native version.

Quoting: eddie-fossDrop attack ... freezes and many times crashes

The Linux version is unfortunately bugged and very unlikely to be fixed. One of the more noticeable bugs is with drop attacks. They can cause lag, soft hangs, audio glitches or even crash the game.

Simple fix though! Use Proton and enjoy working drops attacks + more bugfixes, extra graphics options for increased visual fidelity, vastly superior performance... ^_^

If you absolutely must use the inferior Linux version, switch to a blunt weapon as the drop attack issues are generally seen with bladed weapons. But seriously - use Proton.

Quoting: GreaserI'm currently stuck in this stupid museum mission at the bossfight against Tahir.

If you're playing on Normal, the fight is hard but manageable. There's a decent weapon nearby, find it with Survivor Sense. Throwing your broken melee weapons still cause full damage, Melee throw is a skill.
On Hard and Nightmare, it's more like wearing down a bloody tank.
You can get weapons from the soldiers by using Vault+Drop attack for a quick'n'dirty insta-kill. It's what we like to call a pro-gamer move. ;)

But hit me up on GoL Discord or Steam and I can help out. :)

Quoting: Klaasthe GOG version

...can't play multiplayer with the Steam version. Hope that isn't an issue for you.

Quoting: EgonautTechland has no plans for a Linux build, I heard that out of first hand from one of their developers.

Perhaps... to be honest, I am not expecting Linux support. We're still waiting for an official statement on the issue though.

*Awesomeness intensifies*

We got a new variation on the Goon a while back, green skin with purple shorts... reminding you of anyone? ;) This new Hazmat variation is bright white and silver, reminiscent of an astronaut.

There's also a new DLC pack; Rais Elite Bundle, with new outfits, skins and weapon blueprints.
