Linux version now available

[Draknek]

For those interested in a native Linux version, that is now available.

If you have technical issues, feel free to post them in this thread but we may not be able to provide comprehensive support.

The game is confirmed to run fine through Proton 5, so if the native version doesn't work for some reason then you can try that.

[Draknek]

N.B. if you've previously played using Proton and want to switch over to the native Linux build, you are advised to back up your save data first - there seems to be a bug with cloud saves that doesn't properly handle this situation.

I tried to launch by double clicking on A Monster's Expedition.exe which launched, but didn't have my save data.

I'm not sure where my save data is located, and I wanted to back it up before doing anything else. I checked in .config and ~/.<something> but I didn't see any folders.

This is because it's still giving you Windows files. Right click -> properties -> at the bottom force Steam Play and set it to the Steam Linux Runtime in the dropdown box. That will reset it to the Linux files using the runtime container.

[Draknek]

The Linux savefile should be in ~/.config/unity3d/Draknek and Friends/A Monster's Expedition/
The Proton savefile depends on the version of Proton you're using, I believe.

[Power Series]

Looks like it's working, but my save is gone. :(
I can see the new save folder once I chop the first tree.

[Draknek]

Sorry to hear that! As mentioned in the second post, this seems to be a bug with Steam Cloud. If you can find where Proton was saving (the Windows equivalent would be AppData/Local Low/Draknek and Friends/A Monster's Expedition) then you should be able to copy your files over

[Power Series]

Ah, it is under
`~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1052990/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Draknek and Friends`
Thanks, I think I can recover it now.

The Linux native version runs at 1-3 fps and has 100% CPU usage (I have an r7 3700x and a gtx 1070, using the nvidia proprietary driver). Running the windows version through proton works great.

That's not right at all, and certainly not seen here across three different PCs (got it on itch. Sounds like your system has problems somewhere.

Without a player.log file though from the Linux build from you, not much they can do to investigate.

Here's the Player.log, and I don't know what to say other than that I haven't had any issues with this computer, and it would be weird for my computer to have an issue with just this game.

[Draknek]

Sounds like for some reason it might be using a software renderer rather than your graphics card. No clue why! Could be a problem with the driver, or a problem with specific versions of Unity, or could be a game-specific problem but that's unlikely.

It's very hard to debug issues like this, since it works through Proton I'd suggest playing that way.

[Squiddy]

Yep, that's the exact issue. It's a system problem. I've seen this a few times before.

Renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.0, 256 bits)

It's using software rendering. That's pretty clear ;)

You'll likely find you have issues elsewhere too. It's quite common, lots of posts on it here with solutions: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-19-04-driver-installed-but-not-used/80188/11 -> you can probably find a way to solve it from some of the suggestions there. Otherwise, feel free to ask for dedicated Linux help in the GOL forum: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/

if its arch linux then: add those to your

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

and if its done then run

sudo mkinitcpio -P

reboot the system

also:

/etc/pacman.d/hooks/nvidia.hook

with

[Trigger]
Operation=Install
Operation=Upgrade
Operation=Remove
Type=Package
Target=nvidia
Target=linux
# Change the linux part above and in the Exec line if a different kernel is used

[Action]
Description=Update Nvidia module in initcpio
Depends=mkinitcpio
When=PostTransaction
NeedsTargets
Exec=/bin/sh -c 'while read -r trg; do case $trg in linux) exit 0; esac; done; /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -P'

will ensure mkinitcpio is triggered on every kernel/nvidia package update.
ofc have to make sure it matches your kernel and nvidia packages...

can be nvidia-dkms and linux-zen or whatever you have

Well now I'm a bit confused as to how anything has been working properly, but this has fixed it, thank you!

Thanks for the LInux version. So few game studio still think about us :(
