Linux version doesn't launch

[hazelnot]

I downloaded the reUpdate and yeah, unfortunately the Linux version doesn't work at all, at least on my computer 😅

Not sure what I could do to diagnose the issue, I just click Play, it tries to launch, and then just doesn't and Steam changes back from Cancel to Play

Running into same issue on steam deck, solution was to switch to running it through proton and using the windows version of the mod

That's not really a solution, it's a workaround 😅

I prefer to play the native version of a game when available, so I ended up sticking with the regular HL2 Update

[superboo07]

yeah I agree lmao

Just installed Linux and trying to find out why it doesnt work, so far I found out the issues is that I forgot to include the updated "hl2_linux" executable along with some files, i'm gonna upload it soon.

Edit: Updated the Linux version. See the link below.
v1.0.4.2

I would close this if they do work for any of your systems, otherwise I will reopen this.

Still doesn't launch :(

Has the exact same behaviour as the previous version. I'd post some logs or something, but I'm not sure where I'd find them 😅

weird, looks like the zipping software must mess something up. Gonna try rezipping that again. I remember its working properly fine on my PC.
But anyway, 25th update just make the old linux ver obsolete so tomorrow I might try to get Linux version to work.

It's probably related to the issue above maybe.
