@freedomischaos have you tried the following ?

@milon here it is, original post updated with the potential fix and thank you for your time !

@loc978 sorry it does not work for you I have no doubt the support team will help you with your bug soon !

let's here it from the others, i wonder if generating a new prefs files works for some people that reported here.

@loc978

it's the ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld/prefs file that causes the crash.

just remove the line with the "UnityGraphicsQuality" setting from the file and everything will work fine.

alternatively you can backup your ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld, delete the Rimworld folder and launch the game , it will generate an empty configuration with a working prefs file that you can put in your original folder but you really have to be allergic to editing a simple text file : )

@milon: right away, i'll make a post in the BLACK SCREEN thread ! could you put FIXED in this topic please ? should i LOCK the thread too ?

Nailed it, it's the ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld/prefs file that causes the crash.

just remove the line with the "UnityGraphicsQuality" setting from the file and everything will work fine.

Okay guys, i got it !

I renamed ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld to ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/Rimworld_backup and the game launches.
Of course without any preference.
I'll try to move around some old files to see where the issue actually comes from and i'll report here

Thanks a lot milon !

[UPDATE: potential fix]

Hi !
thanks again for your hard work i love that game.
Now the hard part, i cannot launch A14 at all under linux.
some context:

• I'm on debian jessie
• I can launch A13 without any issue
• i launch the game, the window opens and the process exits immediately
• it happens wether i use the sendOwl version or the STEAM version
• it happens wether i use the start_rimworld.sh shell script or execute the binary directly

Attached are the debug logfile (2017-07-15_deboute_debuglog_A14.log) and a log of calling strace while launching the binary (2017-07-15_deboute_linuxstartup_A14.log)

Thanks again and i hope those harsh hours of steam stampede are not too hard on the team.



UPDATE: potential fix
works for me, your mileage may vary.

i've removed the line with "UnitySelectMonitor" from my ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld/prefs file and the game launches.

You might just want to remove/backup your ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon Studios/RimWorld folder and launch the game which will reset everything and launch smoothly.


UPDATE: another fix
tskx has another issue with locales possibly and says in https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=21450.msg234322#msg234322:
" got it working with »wine-1.9.13 (Staging)« and »winetricks tahoma corefonts« isn't nice but works for now."
