Some features not fully implemeted in Linux version?!

Both issues are related to Map editor. Both r related to Linux version 1.0.5.

1) When going to create a new map, the "New Map" dialog does not offer any themes to be selected. It even shows the text "THEME NAME HERE". Is this is a development branch release??!!

2) When trying to import a height map, the game gives error:

(I tested on windows version, the import of all the mentioned heightmap files works).

It's not like there's a ton of Linux players in the first place to make a comment - And it's the Weekend. People are probably too busy playing.

The libz ABI has been changed at some point, causing issues with all programs that (for reasons beyond my understanding) statically link against an older version of zlib, but dynamically against libpng. A workaround is to LD_PRELOAD your system installed zlib.

To do this, first find out where libz.so.1 (or libz.so, or whatever it is called) resides on your system. Probably it is installed in /lib, or /usr/lib, maybe also in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. Make sure you are dealing with the 64bit version of the library (readelf -h [filename] should say it's ELF64). Then right click on the Cities: Skylines entry in your steam library, go to "Properties", and select "Set Launch Options". Now enter the following:

LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libz.so.1 $LD_PRELOAD" %command%

Of course changing the path to point to your installation of libz.

I don't know if Cities: Skylines also suffers from the decimal separator bug of Unity, but for me it also became a routine, to add LC_ALL=C in front of every Unity command line, to ensure that the point is used as a decimal separator. So, in my case the complete command to launch Cities: Skylines looks like this:

LC_ALL=C LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libz.so.1 $LD_PRELOAD" %command%

Edit (2015-03-20, 08:50): Added $LD_PRELOAD, as obviously Steam uses LD_PRELOAD to graft the Steam Overlay onto Steam games.

It's working for me. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with the awesome window manager. I'm on version 1.06.
