doesnt launch on fedora linux

[Mercotui]

./Worms W.M.Dx64: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

which is correct, i do not have libcurl-gnutls.so.4 installed, nor is it available from the fedora repos. it is however present in the steam runtime. What do?

Hello everyone,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with loading Worms WMD on Fedora Linux.

Currently, the Linux Operating Systems the game is available on is Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit version), SteamOS, Linux Mint 17.1.

You can find more information here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1504-QHXN-8366

Our apologies for any confusion,

I've uninstalled & reinstalled the game, no difference
On launch, I get this error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

I was able to get Run.sh to work through help from other threads

Hello Monkeyface666,

Are you able to run the game now via the Run.sh now?

I managed to get the game to run in F25 by forcing Steam runtime in launch options - ie.

LC_ALL=C LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" %command%

This solves both the missing libraries and the crash after autosave notification. With some graphics drivers you might also need to add the mesa overrides (MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.0COMPAT
MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=410)

Not sure why running steam with STEAM_RUNTIME=1 doesn't work since as far as I know, it should have the same effect of preferring runtime over system libraries.

Thank you very much, that fixed the game for me on Mint 19 with nvidia, using the first launcher option.

[monkeyface766]

Run.sh runs when I use the same fix as Salvatos did above me (is this edit overwritten when the game updates?)

The proper run throws the Qt error

[SUSEd]

Add this

DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0 %command%

to launch options and run the game.

I got it working under Fedora 29 by installing libbsd and libnsl via yum:

sudo yum install libbsd libnsl

and then modifying the run.sh file (located in $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/WormsWMD) so that it looks as follows:

#!/bin/bash

export LC_ALL=C 
export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/WormsWMD/lib/:$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
chmod a+x ./Worms\ W.M.Dx64
./Worms\ W.M.Dx64

I am running the game via Steam using the run.sh option, and at least in the first training mission everything seems to be working fine.

Wish I found this thread before I lost almost two hours getting this game to run on Fedora 29...

I pretty much ended up with the same solution as @MarineAmoeba above.

My Run.sh looks like:

#!/bin/bash
GAMEPATH="$(dirname "$(realpath $0)")"
export LC_ALL=C
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${GAMEPATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0

./Worms\ W.M.Dx64

Installed libbsd (libnsl was already installed on this system).

Also I had to remove libstdc++.so.6 from WormsWMD/lib to fix this error:

libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Unrecognized OpenGL version
Unrecognized OpenGL version

The game runs now and everything seems to work.

Hi !
Same problems here on Archlinux. Begins with "libcurl-gnutls.so not found", solved by adding Steam embedded libs into LD_LIBRARY_PATH as in the steam-runtime/run.sh
And after, problem with Qt "xcb plugin not found". After use of "export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1", it seen that one of my qt lib (/usr/lib/...) required qt 5_12 and the platform was looking for 5_01 (or something like that).
Add <WormsInstallPath>/lib at the beginning of LD_LIBRARIES_PATH solve the problem.

If Team17 can improve their launcher... :)

Thanks for help guys !

I'm on Arch too and nothing above work, but I don't understand what or how ArchLoy did that either.

I ran across a very similar issue after purchasing and installing.
After trying multiple suggestions I finally get the game working (under Fedora 30 & 31):

You may need to change paths to match your game install directory

1. Fix some libraries files :
   

   cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/WormsWMD/lib
   rm ./libstdc++.so.6
   cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libidn.so.11 .
   cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl-gnutls.so.4 .
   cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11 .
   cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librtmp.so.0 .
   ln -s ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*dbus* ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/WormsWMD/lib
   

2. Replace game's Run.sh script (…/steamapps/common/WormsWMD/Run.sh) with
   

   export LC_ALL=C
   export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"
   chmod a+x ./Worms\ W.M.Dx64
   ./Worms\ W.M.Dx64
   

3. Run the game with the following command (actually created an alias)
   

   $ ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/WormsWMD/Run.sh &>/dev/null
   

Everything works as expected except steam overlay. The game has to be run in window mode (set from game's settings panel) so I can switch between windows to, for example, accept multiplayer invites once I have launched the game. Switching window while in full-screen mode and getting back to worms causes the screen to have a top and left offset and also makes the user interface flickering periodically.

Thank you so much! Finally I got this game working on linux. What a great game indeed. Team17 should put some effort to make this game run native as it's promised.

Thanks for all the hints in this thread. However, it was still a headache to get this to run on Fedora 37. In addition to what has been written above, I had two more things to do in order to be successful:
1) Copy two more libraries from the steam runtime to xxx/WormsWMD/lib:

cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0 .
cp ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1 .

After that, Worms WMD begins to run again, but it coredumps right after the first intro screen. Hence, a second fix was necessary:

2)
sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/local/bin/pulseaudio

It seems that the fmod library used in Worms wants the pulseaudio executable to exist. However, more recent Fedora versions are delivered with Pipewire and without pulseaudio. As a result, this executable does not exist. We must make sure though that the fmod library finds it so that it doesn't crash. This is happening with this step.

(I hope this is everything, I tried out a lot of things, so it's possible that something might be missing).
