Wont launch on Linux

[Rob]

Using Fedora 24, the launcher never shows up just a frozen window with a snapshot of whatever was in the background, usually the steam window that says "Preparing to Launch Torchlight II...".

Yup it does support linux, and I have tried all those things. even tried running through the console, but no luck.

I'm experiencing same problem with Fedora 25.

That works! Great thanks to you!

It appears to me that for some reason steam tries to load thier 32-bit steam overlay application for 64-bit Torchlight 2 which resuslts in an ELF class error.

A workaround which worked for me is to go Torchlight's properties, clicking set launch options and then add

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so %command%

This will manually load steam overlay plugin for the correct architecture.

That said however, just disabling steam overlay in properties doesn't seem to discourage steam from loading the wrong file and while we now load the correct file: steam overlay doesn't work ingame.

Thanks, this also fixed the issue for me on Fedora 26.

Can confirm this behaviour under Fedora 26, as well and also that the workaround does the job for me on this one.

CentOS7 w/kernel 4.12: this fix worked for me. So did the above reddit post...

reddit fix:

cd [game directory]
echo "200710" > steam_appid.txt
./ModLauncher.bin.x86_64

Zeadar launch options fix:

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so %command%

Unable to fix this issue in flatpak version of Steam. Tried to change the path to gameoverlayrender.so file in properties to the flatpak location of this. No luck.

`~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so` does not exist on the version on ArchLinux currently.

Where is your user's steam data found then? change ~/.local/share/ to that. You can find this in your settings, in the downloads section.

It is `~/.local/share/` I believe. The 32bit version of `gameoverlayrender.so` (at `ubuntu12_32`) exists though. I chose to manually start the 32bit version of the game (`Torchlight2.bin.x86`) as a workaround.

Try to start the launcher from terminal if error is like

"... symbol lookup error: /lib64/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var"

navigate inside the games folder (properties show files) open a terminal and do

$ rm ./lib/libfreetype.so.6 ./lib64/libfreetype.so.6

in addition use the

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so %command%

as mentioned above

and the launcher will start again ...
