[0.0.7] Linux: Exporting is broken under Proton | Shapez 2 | Page 1

quiet scroll · 2024-08-16T18:16:56.069Z

1) Linux crash when exporting under Proton Experimental: Steps to reproduce: - create a virtual machine (or boot a linux device, preferably ubuntu) - install steam and download the game - create a save and back out to the main menu - click into "play" and attempt to export the save - the game crashes STEPS TO PREVENT: export it anywhere that isn't the default folder proton opens and name it something other than what is automatically filed out (what appears to be either a lot of spaces, or tab inputs) 2) Canceling an export under Proton Experimental causes the game to freeze up: steps to reproduce: See Video

The version of Unity used doesn't play nice with Wayland for some of this stuff 😅

🕒 The bug you reported has been fixed and is currently in the final testing phase before being released in the next update! Thank you for helping us improve our game.

We have updated our unity version that includes some fixes for Linux.

You can find it in the beta 0.0.8
#✨updates message

Would be curious if this version still has the same issue.

jolly pollen Aug 20, 2024, 2:46 PM

#

I'll be trying a couple things later, it seems

deep hatch Aug 20, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

Awesone, yeah it seems promising with audio already working a lot better. But I saw not every Linux bug is fixed, so we just have to see 🙂

jolly pollen Aug 20, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

Well this one is related to Wayland vs X11, so I'm curious if this one was fixed alongside

simple girder Aug 20, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

Yeah no import and export still crashes the game immedeatly

#

My assumption is that it has no folder to select? Ergo it has no given path? Not sure how the windows version works

#

I'm just speculating tho

jolly pollen Aug 20, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

Aw, shame. I'll try on native later

#

My laptop is busy being unhappy with me right now 😅

simple girder My assumption is that it has no folder to select? Ergo it has no given path? Not...

That makes sense, another report shows it also has trouble getting the screenshot folder right.

simple girder Aug 20, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

Correct.

#

It just dumps it in home root.

#

On native anyhow

#

didn't test the proton version

jolly pollen Aug 20, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

Apparently that specific thing is also on Windows I think I saw in one report? Either way, I'll be testing again soon as I get the chance

jolly pollen Aug 20, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

No dice, still crashes

#

I would love read only source access to deep dive this

oop someone beat me to the bug report

Well the documentation for the file browser library we use (since Unity doesn't provide it out of the box) mentions running the file browser with X11 to "support" wayland:

To add support for Wayland, please create a shell-script that starts your application with
X11 as backend, like this:
"GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./<applicationName>.x86_64"
or
"GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./<applicationName>.x64"

So if someone could try exporting a save when running the game with GDK_BACKEND=x11 %command% that'd be great!

#

I'll look later

#

Ey, good news

#

That works

#

I would definitely add that to #linux-specific; running the game with GDK_BACKEND=x11 %command% in the steam launch options fixes that

#

It works on native anyway, I don't have any time to test under Proton

inland pelican Aug 22, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

jolly pollen I would definitely add that to <#1092755204774039653>; running the game with `GD...

Awesome thanks for checking this!
I'm pushing for this to be added to the existing launch options in steam! Unless you're aware of potential issues this could cause (I'm no Linux expert sadly 😅)

jolly pollen Aug 22, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

I'm far from an expert, but I know enough to say this should be fine

#

Probably

errant gladeBOT Aug 27, 2024, 4:22 PM

🕒 The bug you reported has been fixed in version 0.0.8!

inland pelican Aug 27, 2024, 4:26 PM

#

(kinda, still need to run with the launch args manually for now...)

sharp mist Sep 13, 2024, 6:26 PM

#

Sadly I'm unable to get it working, did you do anything else ?

#

sharp mist Sep 13, 2024, 6:30 PM

#

jolly pollen That works

Just to be sure this is what should fix this bug right ?

sharp mist Sep 14, 2024, 7:47 AM

#

Yeah I've been trying this and other stuff out for a while now. @jolly pollen do you think this post should be reopened ? What other stuff would you guys need to help me out ?

jolly pollen Sep 14, 2024, 11:02 AM

Replace "./shapez 2.x86_64" with %command%

sharp mist Sep 14, 2024, 12:07 PM

#

jolly pollen Replace `"./shapez 2.x86_64"` with `%command%`

It's working 🎉🎉

#

Haven't been able to play shapez 2 for a while but we're back in business !

#

Thanks a lot 👌

Import and Export running wayland is still not working in [pre4]. But the work around by setting GDK_BACKEND=x11 %command% in Properties - General - Launch Options fixed the issue for me.
(Sorry for necro-bumping, but a post in https://discord.com/channels/1000343719314198548/1092755204774039653 would have saved me a lot of searching in Discord and on the web. Maybe it's a good idea to reanimate this channel?)
