Crash on startup, crash on loading profile

[rdrd]

I'm using Steam on LInux. Since the 0.9.8 update, Endless Sky has been crashing on startup. I deleted my ~/.local/share/endless-sky directory, and it began working again. Trying to copy my saved games back in to ~/.local/share/endless-sky/saves and loading a game results in more crashes.

Is there any way to recover my saved game? I spent waaayy too much time on them, Endless Sky does a great job building on my Escape Velocity nostalgia. My pilot file is here: https://pastebin.com/GTe82QW6

I'm also curious if there's a way I can get debugging output from Endless Sky under Steam - it would be nice if I could see why it's crashing myself.

Under steam, not really. Since you have Linux, it is a relatively short detour to run a self compiled binary through the system debugger, gdb.

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/wiki/BuildInstructions
Your build command is
scons mode=debug
Your run command is
gdb endless-sky
Then
r

When it crashes, the terminal will then allow you to explore the running state of endless sky

If Endless Sky isn't launching in Steam on Linux, try launching Steam from the command line as follows:

$ STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam

As of January, Steam tries to load libraries from your system instead of the Steam "runtime," and sometimes the libraries on your system won't match what Endless Sky was built for.

Is there a way to force steam to use the runtime instead of system libs without using command line?
