Please fix Xigncode

[Arikania]

I'm trying to enter the game on my linux computer, but whatever I try, i keep getting XignCode Fails to Load. Even disabling my firewall doesn't help a bit

@Shaun
The GF server *was* an official server, and SW worked fine there. Whether or not legal, it proves that SW doesn't need to have technical issues to run. These issues are, apparently, not inherent to SW itself.

Whether or not we should play an illegal version is more of a moral issue. But since LG doesn't support me to play at their server (which I would prefer since I have friends there), it's not like BSW is stealing me as a potential LG customer.

Most people who start with Linux hate it. I hated it vigorously for 7 years actually. Linux is a university level OS, and hard to work with for most household users. I wouldn't recommend it for just anybody. I myself happen to be a computer savvy, and a 37 year experience programmer. I understand completely that you hated it, and, imo, by far not unjustified.

But, again, SW has proved to be capable to operate under WINE, so there should be no technical limitations to do so.

Furthermore, the XignCode issue is being reported by Windows users as well. So it's not a typical Linux issue, although it does seem to occur there more often.

They won't because you're trying to play on an unsupported OS. Closers uses the same anti-cheat program and doesn't support Linux either.

You can try to install it on Lutris (available on the repos), or play Burning Soulworker, like I tried. That version doesn't use XignCode, and works just fine.

LG should reconsider their no-Linux policy. Linux is rapidly gaining popularity among gamers. Ever more people feel the urge to abandon the commercial OS'es. And distros like Manjaro and Mint are rather user-friendly, and improving. In fact, I recommend Linux Manjaro Cinnamon to all who seek an alternative for Windows.

Anyways, it's their loss. We can always play on private servers instead. One can argue that they are not really competitors of the official server, since they accommodate a different demographic, i.e. Linux users.

well im sure they want a piece of steam deck pie cause that ♥♥♥♥ gonna be very popular once it releases and EAC and battleye already have linux support all dev needs to do and tick the SDK for proton support and bam linux gamers can play mmorpg games with EAC and thats amazing ... if you want to keep low population mmorpg alive i say maybe suppot linux cause they have a big population that would play this game.

[Arikania]

and ever more gamers want to use Linux nowadays. Game developers sure miss out on a demographic by sticking to Windows. Even Blizzard, even though they don't release native Linux clients for their games, always tests them on Linux Wine before they release them.

[Shaun]

I have no interest in the Steam Deck at all and I could care less about Linux, it is not a good OS at all imho, Windows is better.

[Arikania]

Linux is different indeed. But 'better' and 'worse' are classifications, not facts. What one likes best depends on taste and on the sort of applications that one wants to run. It depends from person to person which OS suits him best.

It is currently possible to play soulworker on linux through geforce now

[Arikania]

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it!

[ADEO]

Use my Guide on Youtube just type Fail to load Xigncode fix on youtube and you find my video to fix it

[Arikania]

1. Turn off firewall and Anti-Virus,
2. Download a program from some unknown external site and install it in my Steam game directory.


Seriously??!!


Thanks for the tip, but I think that I'll pass.

However, if you could provide me with the source code for that fix, so that I can verify the listing and compile it myself, then I may consider it, It would have the additional advantage that the version would be native to Linux.

[Arikania]

Don't get me wrong please. It's not that I distrust you in particular or something, but I could not possible justify to myself using a solution like that. I had sooo many issues with Windows XP Pro and security before, and I don't wanna take the same risks with my Manjaro.

I will link your solution to some friend Linux savvies, and if they can assure me that it's safe solution, though. If so, I'll report that on this thread.

[Arikania]

Can I turn my firewall and anti-virus back on after applying that fix?
