No matter what you set your stock/dump piles as, a colonist cannot haul rotten meat from a hopper. Work around is to deconstruct hopper to put meat on ground.

You might want to post this in the "bugs" section as well.
I know I personally have trouble with the right click menus when I forget to first highlight the colonist required to do so.. I think this is a bit different though.

I a couple of places I think its stated that unpacking on top of an existing installation will break the game. Saves will not carry over either so keep that in mind. You'll have to wipe everything clean.

So I was able to come up with this:

Changing

Code Select Expand

<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">1</pref>
in the prefs.txt file  (/home/USERNAME/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld) to

Code Select Expand

<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>
switches the game into windowed mode obviously. The options appear now (magic?). I can definitely deal with playing the game in windowed mode so the problem is as good as solved to me. Hope this helps others. Feel free to post any other fixes for the same issue if they are found of course.

I tried really hard to find a similar issue before I created a new post.

When I run the game here in Ubuntu it launches fine. The main menu background loads up but the clickable options for actually starting the game/creating worlds never show up. I can hear the music and move the cursor over the invisible options (hear them bleeping as I roll over them) but obviously can't play because I can't see any of the text or options to begin.  (runs fine in windows)

Tried deleting the config files (and world files from a previous version) like for the more common black screen error and completely re-downloading but can't seem to get the menu options to appear.

Any ideas?
