Troubleshooting

[Melos Han-Tani]

CONTROLLERS: Please note this game is advertised as "Partial Controller Support". Therefore some controllers may not work as desired. Thank you for your understanding!

Big Picture Mode Overlay 'smears/ghosts/bleeds' in game margins

This may or may not have been fixed in 1.521S.

If the problem persists, I would try to avoid playing in Big Picture Mode if possible. It's possible this is just a limitation of Flash + Adobe Air.

Screen slightly cutoff in windowed mode on Windows 10

I do not know how to fix this yet but if you provide screenshots that may help, as well as whether the issue happens in fullscreen integer scale, fullscreen stretch, or windowed.

D-Pad on ps4/etc not working

I believe this may be an underlying issue with the controller detection plugin I have for Adobe Air. There may be no solution, so I apologize, however I am looking into a solution.

Switch Pro Controller (thanks @ThreeSon)

"This game works fine with a Switch Pro controller on Steam, but you need to configure the controller to use keyboard binds instead of traditional gamepad binds.

Load this link in your internet browser (paste it in the address bar and press Enter):

steam://controllerconfig/234900/1660352943

Then click "Apply Configuration" in the window that pops up and you should be good to go. The D-pad will work fine.

When the game asks you if you want to configure the controller at the start, choose No. "

Windows or mac fullscreen, cut off

This MIGHT be fixed in 1.520. If not,try pressing F4 (win/mac) or fn+F4 (mac) or to change the the game resolution stuff. You can then try editing the scaling in the menu.

Windows Black Screen on Startup (No sound)

need to install msvcr100.dll usually, the 32-bit one

http://camstudio.org/forum/discussion/1238/msvcr100.dll-missing/p1



Linux stuff below - note that while a Linux depo DOES exist for this game, it is NOT supported officially and is a bit out of date. However, if you do choose to play Anodyne on Linux, the below may help you.

Sorry about that. I'm planning to add "recommend Ubuntu" to the Linux reqs, and I probably should have to start with. To be perfectly honest I'm not really a Linux guru, especially with stuff like this.

If you run a distro and can't get it to work, I can send you a Desura key which'll let you download a Standalone SWF version. It won't have achievements but it's better than nothing - I could give you the soundtrack for free too. Sorry!

SOUND FIX (probably only for pulseaudio - i.e. Ubuntu distros)

Fix for Sound Delay (Ubuntu)
I don't know if it works for all Linux distributions, but if you have a sound delay in Ubuntu, you can fix it with the following steps:

1. go to "~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Anodyne"

2. rename "run.sh" to "run2.sh"

3. create a new file "run.sh" with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=20 ./run2.sh

4. make the new "run.sh" executable


--------

FIX if you get the dpkg error etc. This works with Arch 64 bit appparently, I assume other distros as well. Give it a shot!

So, I ended up with a really simple solution after figuring out how Adobe Air works and all:

Like Hyeron mentioned above, add this to application.xml within the <application> element:
<supportedProfiles>extendedDesktop</supportedProfiles>

And, in run.sh, you can replace everything (sans the export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH) with:

/opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl share/META-INF/AIR/application.xml share/

Then run it in Steam. Of course, /opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl might point to somewhere else on your distro.

I am running windows 7 and having the black screen issue, nothing I have tried (uninstall/reinstall, reinstalling flash, updating windows and drivers, manual install of msvcr100.dll) has fixed it. Are there any other suggestions?

I'm pretty much having the same issue only with XP 32-bit. I've tried updating Windows, drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling, confirmed msvcr100.dll is in the system 32 folder... nothing. It did actually briefly work, but without any sound (my entire system, not just the game). I decided to do a system restart and now the game won't work again.

I run Lubuntu 13.04, and I'm having no sound. I've tried the sound delay fix, and I've also tried pasting shortcuts to libopenal.so everywhere (did the trick with SPAZ), but nothing seems to help. I've tried googling it, but even that yields no results. Can someone help me, please? I really want to play this game...

Running Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit here. I did everything in other howtos and Adobe AIR still didn't install. Manually (sudo dpkg -i) installing the package on this page is what finally made the installer work:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/libhal1/0.5.14-8ubuntu1

It seems quite possible that this package won't install without problems in future versions of Ubuntu et al, which is a real . Thank you for providing support here at least!

If you are having problems with root password during Adobe AIR install, run in terminal:

sudo ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Anodyne/install.sh

It will ask you for your own password instead of root's.

For the pulseaudio delay I needed to use 40 ms for the delay for it not to have static.

[QSRMVT]

Trying various fixes (Fedora 20 x64) but as far as I can tell, Adobe dropped support for Air-on-Linux way back in v2.6.0, so it would seem that this game simply will not work for some Linux users. Shame, having bought the Humble Bundle specifically because of Linux compatibility.
Specifically, in case it matters, Air refuses to install on FC20, and won't report a reason why. I've tried manually installing Air, as well as allowing the game package to install it for me, and both fail completely.

After trying all advices to install Adobe Air, finally I found the one that worked thanks to mattias_oh!!

Hi

For me neither the steam installation (~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/DefendersQuest/install.sh) nor the easily alvailabe deb-file of Adobe air (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/adobeair/1:2.6.0.19170-0lucid1) nor the helpful guides for 13.04 (http://www.thepowerbase.com/2013/06/how-to-install-adobe-air-in-ubuntu-13-04/ & http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-adobe-air-linux-mint-32-64-bit/) worked and I couldn't start the game :(

It all seamed to boil down to that the packages "ia32-libs" and "libhal1" are no longer available in 13.10.

"Libhal1" doesn't seem to be necessary, or at least I didn't install it on purpose :P
"ia32-libs" seems to have been just a 'meta package', i.e. a link to a bunch of other packages that are still available. I randomly took pieces of advice from http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Ubuntu-13-10-and-the-death-of-ia32-libs/m-p/2269003 & http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/ia32-libs-in-ubuntu-13-10http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/ia32-libs-in-ubuntu-13-10 & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181649

And now the game works :)

Summary: To install Adobe Air on 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 simply follow http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-adobe-air-linux-mint-32-64-bit/ BUT instead of step 3 install the following packages:

"""
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base:i386 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:i386
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpangox-1.0-0:i386 libpangoxft-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386
sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d:i386
"""
* Disclaimer: Some of those packages might not be needed

Good Luck!

I posted a fix/workaround for gamepad/controller issues that you may be experiencing (I was) here:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/234900/discussions/0/810919691091559413/#c517141624285752119

This fix is for Windows, but could likely be adapted for Linux or Mac with a bit of technical expertise. I hope it helps somebody!

Is there no translation for the linux version?

A while ago I decided to pull support for it, which I believe is why I don't have Steam listing the linux version - I don't have access to a linux computer to do the AIR build. I might update linux with a new standalone SWF, though - which I could just drop in place.

Thanks for reply, maybe you could try it with VirtualBox -https://www.virtualbox.org/
