Missing Executable

[kittenshark134]

I tried to download War Thunder, and, upon trying to run it, was given a "Missing Executable" message. I was taken to a help page that explained how to fix it in Windows, but I am using Ubuntu 14.04. What should I do?

Try to download the game again

I've played War Thunder on this computer before, using Windows. It ran fine. I assume this means that my system is OK.

And your current Linux build is a 64-bit and not a 32-bit one, right?

It could be that steam has changed the way it runs on a Linux

In case it did not sink in yet, are you running 64-bit Linux? The only 2 executables in the "War Thunder" directory other than "updater" (which is 64-bit Linux) are (if you first installed steam recently your path would begin ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/):

I'm pretty sure my system is a 64-bit. (I could not find the files MaddDoktor posted - the only Steam folder I could find was the one in my home folder, with the logs.)

"Pretty sure" does not equal absolutely sure, with all due respect. You need to be sure, as this error can possibly come from having the unsupported version of the OS.

[Luke Spike]

Look in your system infomation in your control panel to be sure

[kittenshark134]

I was wrong - its 32-bit. No War Thunder for me, I guess.
Thanks for the help.

[Luke Spike]

Sorry that you cannot play the game

You can always reinstall your Linux and use a 64Bit distribution this time.
