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!

Thans very much,
I have the same problem and with your explication, it's OK.

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.

Thanks Bering, solved my problem with this!
But my game wouldn't even start.
Tune in, turn up, drop out!
