🐧 Longest Night ↔ v23.3.1

[AnummaBrooke]

:rotating_light: game Longest Night is broken for me.

:book: Here's the complete debug log.

:running: Any additional details can go here!

Thank you!

Did you exit the game or did it crash by itself?

[AnummaBrooke]

It crashes on launch without opening. There is a very brief flicker as if about to launch, then that's gone. No error message window.

It's the same result whether I press Launch button in Itch or try to launch the app file from its directory.

Thank you! Brooke

(I should have added this to my reply: Lost Constellation works fine. It's only Longest Night that has this problem. ) B

I do first get the configuration window for resolution and input. The launch failure happens when I hit the OK button in that window.

Sounds like a game/Unity bug. Intel Integrated graphics are also known problem-causers :( Have you tried picking a lower graphics setting, seeing if launches that way?

[AnummaBrooke]

I have: various combinations of lowest-res, dire-to-good graphics quality, and windowed or not windowed.

Sorry to have thrown out my details piecemeal. Here's what I've got:

• Longest Night #139411 (latest)
• Itch 23.3.1
• Ubuntu 16.04
• Intel HD Graphics 530

Problem: When launched (whether in Itch or by calling the app file in its directory) the game presents the configuration window, but then fails to begin (without error message) when I press OK, regardless of chosen configuration settings.

Other details:

• Lost Constellation by the same game maker launches fine and plays well.
• An earlier case seems to show the same problem: Longest Night ↔ v18.6.2 #125.

Thanks for working on this with me! Brooke

So we've isolated that this entirely not an app bug, but I'll leave this bug open because I'm sympathetic to your case :) hopefully we can solve it.

Being a fellow Intel Graphics victim, I have a few tricks up my sleeve: see the Workaround section on this bug: https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/835 - do any of them help?

i also have that i can't even open it, it just send me here

[AnummaBrooke]

Success.

fasterthanlime, I went to the Workaround section that you linked to. Here were my steps:

1. I called the game from within its directory in Terminal, using the Workaround in the first bullet point, like so: ./Longest\ Night.x86_64 -force-opengl
2. That opened the configuration window, and I picked my settings, and clicked OK. The game then launched correctly.
3. At first I thought I had more trouble, because parts of the graphics were cropped from the top of the display. But, I just quit and tried again with different screen-resolution settings.
4. NOTE: Quitting the game by the game-prescribed method, pressing and holding Escape, does not quit the game. I have to quit it in Terminal with Control-C.

So, this does not get the game running properly in Itch, but it does get the game working. Thank you!

So what's do. I do

[fasterthanlime]

Success.

Cool! Let me close that issue, and I'll try to ship https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/835 soon enough so that it works automatically.
