I have a dual monitor setup with Linux Mint 16 x64 installed. I am unable to launch the game as the only window is completely black.

I have made the start_RimWorld.sh, RimWorld413Linux.x86, and RimWorld413Linux.x86_64 files executable.
I have run them in the terminal and by clicking on them.

The only output is:

Set current directory to /home/matthew/Downloads/RimWorld413Linux
Found path: /home/matthew/Downloads/RimWorld413Linux/RimWorld413Linux.x86_64
Mono path[0] = '/home/matthew/Downloads/RimWorld413Linux/RimWorld413Linux_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/matthew/Downloads/RimWorld413Linux/RimWorld413Linux_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/matthew/Downloads/RimWorld413Linux/RimWorld413Linux_Data/Mono/etc'

I have attached the ~/.config/unity3d/Ludeon\ Studios/RimWorld/Player.log file. It includes the line:

Desktop is 4480 x 1440 @ 60 Hz

Which makes me think it may be related to my dual monitor setup (one monitor is 1440p and the other is 1080p)

I have disabled one of the monitors and it did not resolve the situation.

It takes a long time to launch on Windows 7 so I am going to leave it on the black screen for a bit on Linux.

Hi Orfax,

I've seen this type of issue before, and it was caused by the mods folder. Make sure its there/has permissions

The Mods folder is present and has the following permissions:

Which looks fine to me.
