Torchlight 2 not working

[wraith rose]

I'm trying to install Torchlight 2 from GOG. Is Mint missing some language pack ?

[wraith rose]

Gtk-WARNING: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale

[fiery ermine]

does gog distribute their installers as shell scripts?

[wraith rose]

Like this

[fiery ermine]

i see you have some ROM folder, did it extract the same to that directory?

[wraith rose]

Once I click on the link, it automatically downloads it to the Downloads folder. I prefer to keep my game dumps in there too

[fiery ermine]

so does the game work or no

[wraith rose]

I am getting this error so I abort the installer

[fiery ermine]

you abort it yourself or does it abort itself

[wraith rose]

Myself as I do not want to install a broken game

[fiery ermine]

there is no error tho

[wraith rose]

But what locale is not supported ?

[fiery ermine]

I don't know nor care, it just complains about some useless thing. if you worry about every log then you may as well toss your pc away. my personal recommendation is to just use heroic launcher (available in software store) and run your games easily from there

[wraith rose]

Isn't Heroic for Epic games ?

[fiery ermine]

no

[wraith rose]

For example, I must do this fix to have Torchlight 2 ModLoader working if I want to play with mods

[wraith rose]

I'll wait for someone to help me with this. I don't want to install an entire launcher just for 1 game

[fiery ermine]

then run the shell script you got from gog

[wraith rose]

Am I running it wrong ? I don't understand

[fiery ermine]

open downloads directory and double click the file

[wraith rose]

Same warning

What locale is missing ?

[fiery ermine]

press "Next" button

[wraith rose]

The game works after installation. What locale is missing ?

[fiery ermine]

Oh, so it did work. you can mark this as solved then

[wraith rose]

This is not Solved

What locale is missing ?

[fiery ermine]

I already explained

[wraith rose]

You told me to throw my PC away or use Heroic

[fiery ermine]

which one do you prefer then

[wraith rose]

The one that addresses the title of this support ticket

https://steamcommunity.com/app/200710/discussions/0/3075370188242028247/ a locale is missing

[fiery ermine]

ok, I dont know why it's saying a warning. but if the game works, then it means it works. if it didn't work, then it would say GTK-ERROR. I suggest you to run any terminal app and count how many warnings you get. xed /etc/default/grub is a good starting point

[fiery ermine]

do you experience this issue?

[wraith rose]

Torchlight 2 ModLoader does not start

I will wait for someone else to help me, thank you

[fiery ermine]

so you say that it doesn't start, not that the game launches fine.

[wraith rose]

The game is split into 2. There is the base game and the base game + mods

[fiery ermine]

output of locale -a if you say locale is the issue?

[fiery ermine]

seems to have USA pack. you can also check cat /etc/default/locale if its set up correctly

[fiery ermine]

also you sent this, is it the issue you are experiencing?

[wraith rose]

Once I click it, absolutely nothing happens until I remove those files

[fiery ermine]

can you elaborate?

[wraith rose]

Nothing starts or shows anything until I remove those files

[fiery ermine]

and what happens after you remove them?

[wraith rose]

I haven't tried the mods thoroughly so it starts is all I can say

[wraith rose]

Seems like it was fixed the Steam and Humble Bundle version

FlatOut 1 doesn't work at all

[wraith rose]

Witcher 2 doesn't work

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux doesn't work either

Gaming on Linux is a nightmare if Steam isn't used

[small jacinth]

If anyone tells you to delete system libraries to make an app work feel free to punch them in the face so they give less bad advice in the future

[small jacinth]

Are we talking about running native linux games or windows games?

If the latter using wine by itself has always been kinda crap which is why there are multiple front ends to wine the simplest being steam with proton

Did you actually delete system libraries to make a game work?

I would suggest using steam or one of the other wine frontends like lutris for all windows games

additionally I've seen some Linux native titles that were kinda piss poor work wherein you were actually better off running the Windows version via wine preferably with something like proton/crossover/lutris rather than manually managing wine

[wraith rose]

I’m using a native Linux version of Torchlight 2 that doesn’t go through Wine from what I see but I can’t launch the ModLoader until those files are gone. The others like FlatOut 1, GOG uses a Windows version and labels it as Linux since they probably bundle some Wine files. I have Wine Staging with Mono and Gecko installed but none of those Windows marked as Linux GOG games run

Wine 9.21 with the latest Mono and Gecko

I can’t even get an old game like Manhunt 2 running and it’s an official digital Amazon copy. It installs the game just fine but it doesn’t start it

[wraith rose]

I got Manhunt 2 working perfectly fine through Bottles

I'll just Bottles and avoid Linux versions of games as they are a total pain to get working

Fixed Torchlight 2 for me as well

ModLauncher works as intended

Going to test GUTS which is the game editor/modding tool before I mark this as Solved

This tool doesn't exist on the Linux version

Unpacking the tool atm which will take a long time

Torchlight 2 not working

Yup, it all works

Game, Game + Mods and the Editor all work

For those coming upon this later, use Bottles from the Software Manager. The Flatpak version.

And use the Windows version of the game. Not the Linux version.
