Linux, stalls after intro

[𝓢𝓸𝓽𝓪𝓲]

The game starts, the intro runs, then that little thing on the bottom right just kees on spinning. What gives?

[petrikoz]

I have same problem.
Some times I get main menu, but in this case I have infinity load screen after run mission.

My system: Ubuntu 17.04 Mate, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660

same here...
it's not like they are going to ever fix it though...

[Not Mr Flıbble]

There is a workaround.

[Nogal]

That workaround only works for some distributions... to complete the workaround go to your AWE directory and rename AnomalyWarzoneEarth to just 'Anomaly' -- create a new executable script named AnomalyWarzoneEarth with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash

dir="$(dirname $0)"
cd "${dir}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32:~/.local/share/Steam/linux32:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu 

export LD_PRELOAD=./LoadingFix.so 
./Anomaly

This assumes that the LD_PRELOAD script has been complide with the name LoadingFix.so -- if you compiled it under another name simply replace that.

edit... the export statements should all be on one line. formatting on steam didn't work so well.

Holy $h1t, that worked!

Time to play this game after all I guess!
Thanks for the workaround Nogal!!

I also have infinite loading screen after intro under linux. Please fix.

Same, I bought this game on Linux and can't play it at all..I don't know if I can get a refund but I hope it gets fixed soon!

The game works installing game with Proton: Click the game - Properties - General - Click in force use of steamplay (or something like that) - selecta Proton (I use Proton 4.2.9) - install the game.

[Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti DESU]

That may be true but the game shouldn't advertise native Linux support when it doesn't work on Linux natively. Otherwise any non-Linux game can claim Linux support when really it's just Proton doing the work.

Truth

[Shepard]

The workaround above indeed works, but Linux users should not have to program things in order to play a game supported on their favorite OS.

Dear developers, is it possible for you to wrap the workaround in the distributed executable?

[Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti DESU]

It didn't work for me but maybe I stuffed something up. I gave up and just refunded a while ago.

[Cat on Linux]

3 years later it still fails to run on Linux.

All the 5 games given away via newsletter subscription.
I knew it was a tower defence game with a twist, saw the Linux support on the Store page which is never a bad thing.

Unfortunately the game hangs after the intro :X
Debian Testing with an up-to-date kernel (5.6.11) and Mesa 20.0.6 (AMD R9 285)

Did try compiling the fix and preloading it but the game didn't start at all then!

libc6:i386 | 2.30-4 | i386

Running the Windows version with Proton but forcing the use of WineD3D did the trick.
With Proton 5.0.7, add this to the game's launch options:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

With DXVK the picture is offset far to the right - mostly off the screen in fact. Plus it appears to freeze up needing to be killed in a terminal.

Looks like an interesting game - I wasn't quite sure what to expect really.

same issue.
