Missing executable on linux.

[Hario]

Anyway to fix this, when i hit the install button it "instantly" download it and when i try to start it i get the missing executable error. any help?

[raven24]

I get the same error. just activated it from the Humble Bundle...

[cybik]

Means the devs are working on it but there's no Linux payload yet.

Last time I checked steamdb.info history for the game the linux build was in password protected beta. That beta is no longer available, so my guess is someone forgot to flip a switch somewhere.

[lczerner]

I have the same problem here.

[pixelface]

Me too!!!!

[Nanawel]

Same here...

I have this problem with almost 2/3 of my games, most of them from HumbleBundle, but also with many other games. Serious Sam for example has been available for Linux FOR AGES, but only the third installment is available for Steam on Linux :<

I've never gotten an explanation, though ;_;

Different thing. Serious Sam 1 and 2 (and a lot of others) are not offered on Steam. But Little Inferno *is* available as Linux version on Steam. It's just that the executable is missing.

Actually you will find that it is not a different thing. Those SS games and Little Inferno are available on Linux, available on Steam, but not available on Steam for Linux. Little Inferno is still not labeled as a Linux game in the Steam store so they are in the exact same boat.

I can feel ⁺₊⁺ dⒶwtmaytr¡k☭!'s pain on this one. I have 113 games in my library, only 62 show up for Linux and of those only 58 can be installed and played. There are about a dozen games in my library that I bought knowing there would likely never be a Linux port for them that I got to play through wine. The other ~90 games all have Linux ports in some form or another, and they are all clearly on Steam or they wouldn't be in my library. Yet only 58 so far can be played, which is totally lame and starting to get a lot less acceptable as time goes on and the only real excuse that can be made is that the devs are lazy bastards who enjoy spending our money while not showing us the same respect as they do for their patrons from other platforms.

I have 133 games on steam, of those 36 are linux games that are not marked as linux (nor do I know if they will ever be), of the ramainder 80 are marked as linux, and of those 80 I think only 2 have this problem.

This is not exacly a problem by the way, it just means the devs marked the game as having a linux executable withaut updating the executable itself, normally after a few days the executable will appear and the problem will be solved ;)

[BlackRaven86]

For some games linux version does not availaible even when it exists for a long time and I can download it from humblebundle.

[☭EuPhobos]

Same.. waiting for fix

[Hario]

It's worth to mention that some other past humble bundle games available for linux (providing linux binaries in the humble bundle webpage), are not available in steam for linux, ie: Crayon Physics Deluxe, NightSky, Capsized, Dear Esther, etc.

[AnatomicalAstrolabium]

Actually Capsized was just added to my library, don't know if it works though. And Dear Esther has only a wine port available, devs are working on a native version.
But it's true, I bought every bundle starting from HIB V and almost half of the games are not available through Steam: Wizorb, Vessel, Jamestown, Offspring Fling, Snapshot, Lone Survivor, Torchlight, Super Meat Boy, Braid, Limbo, and the list goes on...really disappointing.
I know i can download them from the site or as an Ubuntu user redeem them from the shop, but having some games on Steam and some not feels half-arsed.

[Hario]

Capsized is not available for linux (through steam) yet... the devs said in twitter that it will be soon.
