That's awesome news, does the community edition work mod?

True, this is for Steam only.

Try right-clicking the game in Steam, select Properties, switch to Local FIles, click the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button.

That's pretty much it, yes. It also displays error messages as GUI windows instead of only on the command line (which might not be visible) and keeps the game from creating a visible folder in the user's home directory, which on Windows is fine but on Linux is a no-no. Saves live in Xenonaut's own WINE directory with this script, not quite where they might belong either but I don't really see you to implement proper UNIX-style settings folders while using WINE as a wrapper. There's a small caveat though: Existing save files will not be found and have to be moved manually.

I've updated my custom startup script. It will now keep save files inside the WINE directory instead of putting them into the home directory (which is bad behavior). Public domain for all I care: #!/bin/sh# Directory this script is in, AKA Xenonauts install dircd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )"# Use either xmessage or plain old echo for debug outputMESG=`which xmessage`if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then MESG="echo"fi# Check if the Xenonauts executable existsif [ ! -f xenonauts/Xenonauts.exe ]; then $MESG "Executable not found! Please re-install Xenonauts" exit 991fi# Run the gameWINE=`which wine`if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then # Initial setup, we don't want My Documents to link to ~ if [ ! -e wine ]; then WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/wine $WINE exit rm wine/drive_c/users/*/My\ Documents mkdir -p wine/drive_c/users/`whoami`/My\ Documents fi WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/wine $WINE xenonauts/Xenonauts.exe $@ exit $?else $MESG "WINE not found. Please install before running." exit 992fi

Could I suggest making a new WINE prefix directory for Xenonauts automatically, in case someone is using some DLL overrides (or whatever) in the primary (~/.wine) one that would interfere with the game? I've modified the xenonauts.exe bash script to do this, and added some other stuff: #!/bin/shcd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )"MESG=`which xmessage`if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; thenMESG="echo"fiif [ ! -f opt/xenonauts/Xenonauts.exe ]; then$MESG "Executable not found!

Please install before running."exit 992fi

I'm in Europe, same issue with the download speed. Doesn't seem to relate to the download server selected at least. Just 78 more days! Did you create a bug report for WINE about the crash? Maybe using one of your internal debug builds would shed some light on what's going on.

Can we have an update on when the Linux version will be on Steam?

Still happens to me in 1.4.1 a lot, using WINE to play the game.
