[Youz]

Hi, i can't lunch Don't starve, a windows appears and hide :)

Help me please :/

[Skyte100]

2 things.
1. Of course you cant lunch it! Cant eat a game.
2. Does the chrome version work?

[Youz]

yeah of course i can't lunch it ^^

What's the chrome version ?

[Skyte100]

If you download the chrome app for the game and put in the cd key from steam you should be able to play it on chrome.

[Youz]

i dont have chrome, i prefer firefox !
I cant play at this game normaly :/

i wil try on chrome...

[Skyte100]

I used to use internet explorer until it kept forgetting how to use flash. Chrome doesnt have that issue for me. Does it work on chrome? If so then you can just use the chrome version until the issue is resolved.

Works fine, though there was an update maybe it was broken and is now fixed.
Try running steam in a terminal then launch the game.

I run it just fine in Arch Linux too.. As Cheogh said, try running steam from a terminal so that you can copy/paste the output when the game crashes.

I also use Arch Linux (64bit) with Nvidia gfx, and haven't had any problem with this game. Launching from Steam, played ~10 hours. Sorry I can't be of more help!

First check this wiki page[wiki.archlinux.org] to see if installing these dependencies helps.

Also, it's always good to make sure your video drivers are up to date.

Installing the chrome version is not a solution to this problem.
Waiting on the problem to be resolved is not a solution because other people running the game on Arch are not being affected.

I thought the Chrome version didn't exist anymore, or is that the stand alone version you can get from Klei with your steam key.

Yep, seems you're absolutely correct.
Also, I didn't realize that this was a revived thread from 2 years back. Dang it, Timeofglory!!!
