Player data archive not found

[JakeinNZ]

Been having a lot of issues trying to install the game.

A user in the forum told me to use Flatpak to install the game. So I installed flatpak. Then did this:

flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

then this:

flatpak --user install flathub com.albiononline.AlbionOnline

The launcher opened, then downloaded the rest of the game.

Then I tried to run the game using this:

flatpak run com.albiononline.AlbionOnline

First it told me to install the audio file, which I did.

Then I clicked play on the launcher, and got this from the terminal:

ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment. Found path: /home/jake/.albiononline/game_x64/Albion-Online Mono path[0] = '/home/jake/.albiononline/game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/Managed' Mono path[1] = '/home/jake/.albiononline/game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/Mono' Mono config path = '/home/jake/.albiononline/game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/Mono/etc' Preloaded 'ScreenSelector.so' Preloaded 'libAkSoundEngine.so' Preloaded 'libSDL2-2.0.so.0' Player data archive not found at /home/jake/.albiononline/game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/data.unity3d, using local filesystemjake@OldShiba:~$

So not sure what happened there. Also, can't find Albion on Dash or when searching in files. seems like it's just not there. Which is weird since the launcher just told me it downloaded heaps of files.

Anyways would love to play this game once before I die so hopefully I can get this sorted out

OK for the dash, not sure about the Buntu's these days but you may need to relog or reboot for it to be present. I haven't touched Ubuntu in any real measure on the desktop since 12.04, really.

That last line of yours is normal from your pasted output:

The above was me manually loading the launcher, launching the game, and quitting out at the login screen.

Not having the icon is not a deal breaker for now though as you see you can do the 'flatpak run'. But I would relog/reboot to ensure that the maintainers haven't got something broken in the last release or so (been only a few days since I last used this flatpak, and it worked fine) and that the icon is getting properly generated. Also, it appears that you may not have the libraries all refreshed, which a reboot would fix, or you can do a 'sudo ldconfig'.

I got rid of the flatpak as I finally figured out the issues on RHEL/Fedora. But if need be I have my laptop which is still in a borked state (with regards to AO), so I can try it there if you still need help.

Well, the reboot solved the Dash problem.

Didn't solve the main problem though, which is the game not working. When I press play, the launcher disappears, the client appears for an instant, then disappears and nothing happens.

Sorry for the delay.

Do you see the intro video playing? Or does it crash before that?

What is your graphic card and what drivers are your running?

You could look at the log file. Though it is usually not useful: ./.var/app/com.albiononline.AlbionOnline/config/unity3d/Sandbox Interactive GmbH/Albion Online Client/Player.log

Do you get a core dump if you run that way?

flatpak run --command=bash com.albiononline.AlbionOnline
ulimit -c unlimited
albion-online

"Player data archive not found" is not the error message here. I always shows it. So I will edit the title.
