What Linux port? Have I missed something? I've only seen Avadon: The Black Fortress for Windows, Mac, and iPad. I've seen/heard nothing about a Linux port...

Thanks! I'll see if I can get my other Linux installers updated tonight...

Bitrock sent me a release candidate for their next version, and I rebuilt the installer for The Adventures of Rick Rocket v1.1.1. Can you see if this one works for you on Linux Mint 64-bit (without needing to run from the command line, per Bitrock's response that I quoted above)?

I heard back from Bitrock today. Here's their response:

Hi Troy,

The issue is an error with version of 32-bit Gtk libraries on 64-bit Ubuntu (as Mint is based on Ubuntu, it has also inherited the issue).

InstallBuilder detects this error in Ubuntu correctly and we will add checking for Mint and falling back to "xwindow" mode.

As a workaround, the installer will work just fine in any other mode - you can recommend the users to run the installer in other modes:

$ ./rickrocketsetup_linux --mode xwindow

or

$ ./rickrocketsetup_linux --mode text

and the installer will work properly.

The issue is documented here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+bug/641056 [External Link]

So it sounds like they will be patching Bitrock to detect the problem. As soon as they do, I'll rebuild the installer. Meanwhile, I will add a note to the game's Linux download page on my web site.

Ok. When I saw Bitrock had a newer version, I hoped maybe it was fixed. I'll keep my support ticket open then...

Yeah, I don't get it either. At least one user I know of tested it on Ubuntu 64-bit and told me it worked there.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Bitrock about this problem. That's strange too, because usually I hear back from them fairly quickly...
