Linux support for The Lightbringer?

[LinuxGameConsortium.com (LGC)]

Can we expect to see Linux support for The Lightbringer?

Particularly since Unity 3D does make porting to Linux easier. :)

Hm, this is weird - it seems that Steam is downloading Windows version of the game files, and then trying to run it as a Linux program:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how can I force Steam to download correct files? I have dozens of native Linux games, as well as several Windows games (via Proton), and none had this problem so far...

Cheers!

Hi! We're look into it, sometimes we often had problems with file names on steam, probably the same issue, we'll fix it asap

[mruuh]

I mean, for now I am able to play the game via Proton, but I'd prefer the native version if it's available. :) So far I like the game a lot!

[nozoziom]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it :) Yeah, we have the linux version running fine, it's just a problem that Unity keeps generating a wrong file name and Steam has some weird configuration that you have to match it precisely. It happened before, should be fixed fairly soon :)

Having also problems running the native version. Always getting the error: missing executable /path/to/Lightbringer.x86_64

[nozoziom]

Hi! Yeah, the fix is nearly finished, we're running tests now, should be uploaded tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience

I'm getting the same error here. Will wait until the fix is up. :)

Hey everybody! I'm glad to say, our The Lightbringer for Linux is available now!
I've tested it on Ubuntu 21.04. Please let us know if it works for you now! We would really appreciate that.

Awesome!! It works well for me and controller support is well integrated.

Kudos on the unique background music. It sounds like a ring tone but captivating. :)

Indeed, the game now works, and seems to work flawlessly. Thanks! :)
