Trine 2 Linux doesn't start

[B1-66ER]

Starting Trine 2 with Steam does exactly nothing. It doesn't even start the launcher.

I was able to start the game using the console (trine2.sh) but I had to chmod +x all files in the bin folder in advance.
I'm a little bit confused as Trine now seems to be running without Steam at all, meaning I don't receive any achievements through Steam, although they appear ingame.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.

So what should I do to properly start Trine 2 using Steam? Any help appreciated.

Try to desactivate the Steam Comunity (Right click in the game in steam page)

[B1-66ER]

Neither deactivating nor reenabling seems to change anything.

same problem as laposim here.

ok, that was fast, didn't need to chmod anything, just ran:
sh trine2.sh
and everything is ok.
still, no launching from steam Ui

EDIT: for those who don't know the folder structure of steam open a terminal and write:
cd ~/Steam/SteamApps/common/Trine\ 2/
sh trine2.sh

@migas: Are you receiving any steam achievements?

Don't know, played 10seconds only, but I guess I shouldn't be (since there is no steam overlay).

I tried to run the game 3 times from steam, then went to the shell and it worked. After an hour or so I suspended the computer, when it woke up I had 3 instances of trine2 running...

Running ubuntu 12.04 amd64 with the 310.32 nvidia driver, the top unity bar overlays the game (running from shell)

In Ubuntu 12.04 works but I actualiced to 12.04.02 (with the new Kernel that is in 12.10 too) and doesn't work.
Maybe is the kernel. I will go back to 12.04

Interesting. Although it would be very weird, if this bug goes down to kernel changes, as we don't even see the simple launcher.

Please tell us, if it works again with 12.04.1. We also might track it down to other updated packages.

I started the get the same issue last night (it was working before that). I also tried to launch in the CLI via trine2.sh but it got the same result.

My system is a little different: 64bit Fedora 18.

My guess would be a system update broke it, but that would mean it would have to be something that hit Ubuntu and Fedora around the same time. Possible?

The Trine 2 game window is visible when I tab, but I can't maximize it and it just hangs. It causes one of my CPU cores to max out at 100% until I eventually manually kill it.

seems fixed

Still doesn't work after updating Trine 2 and Steam with today's updates. I even reinstalled both.

[B1-66ER]

Now after chmod +x all files in bin again and additionally trine2.sh -- which is something I didn't do last time -- everything seems to be fine. Even the steam overlay is working.

Somehow the executable flag is not set automatically on my system. After checking a few other games from Steam Linux it seems they have this flag set on ALL files, which is also wrong. I assume handling file permissions through the steam platform is something which still needs some work...

In Ubuntu 12.04.02 (with Kernel 3.5 like in Ubuntu 12.10) Trine 2 doesn't work. But in Ubuntu 12.04 (Kernel 3.2) does.
I think that is the kernel

[migas]

I have 12.10, repo's kernel, and right atm it is 3.5.0-25, amd64 version
