[SPZ2-6216] [1.0.2-rc1] crash when using the AssimpNet mod

[valid pewter]

it looks like an issue with the steam runtime which is preventing access to the system libraries and forcing its custom ones
if i launch the game without steam (from the terminal with --disable-store-sdk), it works

i dont know if i should workaround (load all the dependencies manually with absolute paths) or just warn the user to run steam without the runtime (STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam)
workarounds :

• libdl.so : rename usages to libdl.so.2
• libassimp.so : it says that it fails to load libassimp but its because one of its dependencies is missing (see below)
• libminizip.so.1 : symlink it in the steam container lib paths or load it manually from absolute path in assimpnet

the other workaround is using proton but that has a performance impact and is very impractical for mod developers

--disable-store-sdk crashes game
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0 Release [1.0.0] • Resolution: Fix Verified

Launching shapez 2 with the --disable-store-sdk startup parameter causes the game to crash with an exception. This affects players who are unable to launch the game with the store SDK enabled, making the game completely unplayable for them. The fix has been verified in a later build, where the game loads successfully with the parameter.

--disable-store-sdk launch argument prevents game to launch when preload intro has not yet been seen
To Do • Priority: Medium • Fix: 1.0.3 release (Hotfix 1) • Game: 1.0.1-rc1

When launching shapez 2 with the --disable-store-sdk launch argument for the first time (before the preload intro has been seen), the game fails to launch. The failure is caused by a graphics initialization check for Steam Deck that incorrectly assumes the Steam SDK is initialized. This occurs specifically when settings have been cleared or no prior successful launch has happened, replicating a fresh install scenario. The game should launch successfully with this argument regardless of whethe...

Standard saves are incompatible once mods are added
Done • Priority: Critical • Fix: 1.0 Bugfixes before Feature Freeze • Game: 1.0.0-modding-beta-3 • Resolution: Won't Fix

Standard Savegames become incompatible after adding Mods to shapez 2. When a player starts a Classic Mode game without Mods, saves it, then installs Mods (such as Bigger Space Platforms or Diagonal Cutters) and restarts, the Savegame cannot be loaded anymore without those Mods even though they were never used in the original save. The player expects to be able to add Mods to existing Savegames with a warning that removing Mods later might cause issues, similar to how other games handle mod co...

Crash on startup
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: Version 0.0.9 • Game: 24.2.2 • Resolution: Won't Fix

shapez 2 crashes on startup following recent OS updates on Linux, where it was previously working. The crash produces a SIGSEGV error indicating a fatal error in the mono runtime or native libraries. The player identified that newer package versions of mesa, mutter, vulkan-loader, and xwayland broke the game, while older versions worked. Running the game under Proton provides a workaround, though sound issues were also present. The crash prevents the game from launching entirely on the affect...

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object - Steamworks.SteamApps.IsSubscribedToApp
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None • Game: 0.0.9-rc6

NullReferenceException occurs when the game tries to check if the player owns the Supporter Edition via the Steam API, but the Steamworks API returns a null reference. This happens when the Steam client is not running, not properly initialized, or the user is in offline mode. The game cannot verify DLC ownership and may crash or fail to unlock Supporter Edition content. The error originates from the IsSubscribedToApp call in the Steam integration code. Impact: players cannot access purchased ...
