Issue Report: Failure to launch 'Critter Chronicles' demo

[Dorfinsteem]

CC demo installed, launch from Steam produces black window and back to desktop. Several hundred lines of terminal output, this looks suspicious: "X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)

CC demo runs correctly when launched from a terminal (after creating its steam_appid.txt file).

Me too. On nVidia GTX 660 TI, Radeon HD 6760m and Intel Graphics. All of them fail me.

Definitely looks like a Steam launch issue. Create a file called 'steam_appid.txt' in the CC demo directory and put the CC appid inside (226540), save/close, open a terminal in the same directory and enter 'sh boutvc.sh' - launches correctly.

Launch from Steam produces black window and back to desktop.
Run "boutvc.sh" launches correctly.

Open "Einstellungen" (Settings) in game:
./boutvc.sh: Zeile 22: 20579 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BASE_LIB_PATH/$BITS/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $BASE_BIN_PATH/$BITS/$EXE_NAME

I noticed that when you right click and choose Properties for this game in Steam client, some strings seem not to be properly replaced. I saw strings such as #Steam_AlwaysKeepThisGameUpToDate, #Steam_GameProperties_AlwausUpToDateInfo, #STEAM_BACKUP_GAMEFILES.

The game demo launched after streetmg's instructions, but I had some problems later. At the main menu (the book), as soon as the cursor reaches the options, all font glyphs become unreadable.
I remembered where the option to start a new game was before so I could click it. The game starts perfectly and with good frame rate at 1080p, but when the main character talks, his captions are unreadable as well.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits and ATI/AMD 4770 with fglrx.

I run Trine2 with the Goblins DLC perfectly well on this machine.

It appears to be a steam overlay issue http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/1/846938351170700382/

My bad for not putting those strings in this report http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/1/882966057058820467/

Had the same problem... Workaround from post #2 fixes it. Thanks!
