Hm, that helps a little, but I think I would have to break out gdb to find out what exactly is going wrong. Try changing your game settings by toggling “disable Lutris runtime” and/or “prefer system libraries” in the “System options” tab.

Blueberry711 · May 23, 2020, 3:56pm

Both didn’t work. And now I tried a different game (Windows so using WINE this time) and it says path not found. crap. feels like it is all falling apart haha.

xordspar0 · May 23, 2020, 4:00pm

Hm, I’m out of ideas. I don’t know what else would be different when you run it in Lutris. Maybe someone else knows.

Blueberry711 · May 23, 2020, 4:01pm

Thanks for trying to help though

tfk · May 24, 2020, 7:53pm

Could you check these steps please? It sounds familiar.

The flickering effect was because of an incompatible upgrade of the mesa libraries. This was fixed by the mesa developers and pushed a few days later.

Blueberry711 · May 24, 2020, 8:05pm

Can confirm that it still doesn’t work

tfk · May 25, 2020, 1:09pm

Ive created an installer for the GOG version.

I know, its the one line developers should never say:

It works on my machine…

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 1:37pm

I totally understand, but sadly it doesn’t even unpack it for me. Just loads forever.

tfk · May 25, 2020, 1:44pm

The Linux GOG version? Wow.

What does the log say?

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 1:59pm

it gets stuck at
creating dir: /home/USER/Games/mark-of-the-ninja/support/xdg-utils

tfk · May 25, 2020, 2:02pm

USER was you hiding your actual username right?

Do you have enough space available in you Games directory?
Ext4 file system?
Permissions correct?
Running under your own account and not root?

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 2:14pm

yes to all

tfk · May 25, 2020, 2:25pm

And was this install location completely empty before running the installer?

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 2:33pm

It’s the place I put the rest of my games. Other GOG games.

tfk · May 25, 2020, 2:35pm

You don’t have to remove the other games. Just empty the install location of the game itself.

I’ve read somewhere once that it sometimes helps to rerun the installer. And for piece of mind I always start clean.

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 2:43pm

OH in that case, yes, I have been running it clean every time

tfk · May 25, 2020, 2:58pm

Ok, well you are doing the correct things then.

Can you perform a clean install from Lutris in debug mode?

Launch Lutris using lutris -d
Select the game
Erase the game and its data using the delete button
Keep lutris open
Go to this location: https://lutris.net/games/mark-of-the-ninja-gogcom/installer/edit
Click test installer
Install
Monitor for errors

Blueberry711 · May 25, 2020, 3:07pm

Isn’t that what I just did?

tfk · May 25, 2020, 3:17pm

Probably, but that didn’t generate enough information. When I run into these problems I run and re-run the installer to see if I can get more information out of it. Also when an installer hangs I try it multiple times, closing Lurtris and restarting it to see if the problem goes away.

Another option could be to get the master version of Lutris from github and running that one instead.
