Hello, I have been getting crash-on-start for RimWorld from Steam. After quite a bit of reading I came up with two solutions:
1. Steam method:
- Set Start Properties as
cd  ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/; LC_ALL=C ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldLinux.x86_64 -force-opengl
For those who know a bit of Bash, yes, the cd part is necessary.
2. forcing open-gl from shortcut:
-Open a text editor, and copy and paste these:
#!/bin/sh
LC_ALL=C ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldLinux.x86_64 -force-opengl
then save the script. Name it whatever you'd like, but let's say we call it "name" in desktop directory
open Terminal and go to the desktop and make the script executable by typing the following:
chmod +x name
then the short-cut will be usable.

Thanks for the update!  I think that info is floating around the forums, but it's nice to have it all in one place.  There are other similar threads floating around here, so make sure to take a look if you haven't seen them yet.
