Title: New Colony button not working in Linux 0.0.250
Post by: bering on November 04, 2013, 05:39:37 PM
I cannot start a New Colony in the Linux build 0.0.250

This is the most effective tease ever :-) In Linux, the game starts just fine and I can access the Load and Options screens... but when clicking on New Colony... nothing happens! No errors, no log files.

I cannot load Kerbal Space Program without using LC_ALL=C so I tried it with RimWorld and sure enough, it works fine when I do. I think that this is a Unity bug that only applies if your locale is not English. All you have to do is start the game by prefixing it with LC_ALL=C, which effectively resets all locale configurations.

So, in other words, instead of double-clicking on RimWorld250Linux.x86_64, do this:

1- create an empty file
2- write those 2 lines in it using any text editor:

#!/bin/bash
LC_ALL=C ./RimWorld250Linux.x86_64

3- right-click the new file and set its permissions to executable
4- double-click that new file to run the game

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much! This may not be possible to fix if it is a Unity bug however is possible people run across this. It is stickied for future reference of people having Linux difficulty.

On that note, should we open a Known Issues thread? We can put in issues that are either unfixable (Unity?) or other what have you.
