So launching that game (with 32-bit arch enabled) worked with 17.3 but not with 18? Does launching it manually work?

ill try tonight

also, no directly launching the executable without the itch.io launcher did not work

the latest upload on bit pit is 204 days old, so I'm starting to suspect that something on your side broke!

"this game was last edited before 16.04 was even released... it's probably your fault..."

this statement makes no sense :p

I'm not saying it's your fault :) I'm saying: the game's developer didn't introduce breaking changes, neither did we (itch app) apparently, so apart from relaying that info to the dev, it's not a bug I can fix!

[calexil]

ah. ok well lets sort it out^^, this is agreat party game and I wanna get it runnin again.

[calexil]

It was working fine on fglrx, but thats depreciated in 16.04 so I had to use radeonSI to run it, does this game use something specific to proprietary drivers? Most itch.io games are built on unity but other unity games seem to be running fine

[fasterthanlime]

I just pointed to the developer to that thread, hopefully they can help!

[calexil]

ah gr8 thanks, ill do some further testing tonight

[calexil]

yay!, this issue was solved by adding the launch parameter '-force-opengl

perhaps it should launch with that by default?

[fasterthanlime]

Ah, I've heard of some Unity games having that problem. The problem is that forcing that launch parameter would probably break the game for others :/

But I do want to let users pass arguments to the games they launch using the app: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/366
