Thea the Linux version!

[Yuuki]

FAQ

Can you play Thea on Linux?
-Yes, as the thread will show, there are many satisfied players who enjoy Thea on Linux.
- However, the game works only on 64bit linux machnies which fulfil similar requirements to windows machines
- so, our game is not listed as Linux game, and has to be acquired as for windows, but then can be downloaded and used DRM free on Linux.

How to play on Linux?
- Buy the game and download it from Steam
Then in the launch option, you simply add
LANG="en_US.UTF8" %command%

Why is it not officially supported?
- We don't feel we can give a perfect support for the game on Linux, therefore we would not feel comfortable claiming it has such support.
-Due to our inability to support you we recommend asking other players on this thread in case you encounter any issues or need more info about software/hardware settings

Do we get the full game on Linux?
- You can enjoy the full single player experience, yes, but we cannot provide the Multiplayer option on Linux.




So, Khash mentioned in another thread that we are unable to support, or even test Thea on Linux, and sadly, nothing has changed here. But, we decided to make the Linux version, as it is, available to anyone who wants to play with it.

Now I will just say once more that we will not be supporting this version and we do not know how well it works as it is, but hey, if you want to check it out, its here and it's free.

If you decide to have a go at it, please do leave us some feedback. Who knows, maybe one day we'll be able to play with it ourselves and fix it up, but no promises!

Enjoy!

UPDATE:
Please note the game randomly crashes when using Steam Proton compatibility layer
- Try running the game in windowed mode instead (thanks to Ismael for this one)

Oooh, thanks!! Downloading now!! :-D

[Teodosio [GNU]]

Thanks, I am going to try it later today!

P.S. how did you get this build without having a GNU/Linux system? Did you just compile it in your engine? And what engine have you used btw? Thanks!

They used Unity. You'll see the logo as soon as you fire it up.

Yes, Unity ftw :D it allows you to simply make a build, which I have zipped and put on the cloud drive :).
so no guarantee that it would run at all :P

Six hours here played and your game works perfect on linux, via wine (1.7.55) with the dx9 renderer ( -force-d3d9 in the command line) Thanks for the native build :)

It's not working for me. I checked the Player.log file and I see

>Fallback handler could not load library /home/shaddoej/Games/Linux/thea/Thea_Data/Mono/x86/AVProWindowsMedia
>Fallback handler could not load library /home/shaddoej/Games/Linux/thea/Thea_Data/Mono/x86/libAVProWindowsMedia.so

Anyone know how to fix this? Google is giving me no solution for it.

Hey folks, I just add a link to reddit post (more readdable to me):

[alexander.kjall]

Nice gesture, but doesn't work for me :)

[Binogure]

Maybe I do something wrong, game won't start:

    /home/user/Games/Thea/ $ ./Thea.x86
        Set current directory to /home/user/Games/Thea
        Found path: /home/user/Games/Thea/Thea.x86

        Mono path[1] = '/home/user/Games/Thea/Thea_Data/Mono'
        Mono config path = '/home/user/Games/Thea/Thea_Data/Mono/etc'
        Abandon

Here some logs, it looks related to a unity3d plugin: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?gclid=CNLo9dzV_MMCFSYUwwodNEAAuw&gclid=CKb6v-GjnckCFQMLaQod67MC9w#!/content/2546

[KhashFirestorm]

is it possible that linux have some problems playing 32 bit game on 64bit system? anyway we are uplaoding build which have 2 now for both archi

[KhashFirestorm]

Just to warn you, I'm complete noob on linux, if our current update does not help and you have no idea what could be wrong we will have to put down this build :(

[Binogure]

It is not about architecture, otherwise we could not start the binary at all, it seems unity3d plugin (AVPro Windows Media) is not included in this build (maybe a unity3d issue)

It looks like the problem is this AVPro Windows Media you're using which, I assume, is being used for videos. I can't find a solution for it so AFAIK it's Windows exclusive and no libraries are available on Linux.

We do appreciate what you tried to do for us.

[PLAYMAKER]

Much respect for your attitude, I'll definitely try it out on the weekend and give some feedback. Then buy it when/if it will be released. Success with the game / windows sales :)
