When running the application any other way, the window appears then immediately disappears with no error.

There was a glibc update in Arch that broke a lot of electron apps. In order to fix it looks like electron needs to be upgraded to version 14 or higher. more info here https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/31091

I tried to manually update it to a newer electron version which got the renderer to run, but it wouldn't load the login page.

After installing electron14 I'm still getting the crash :/

x-arisu commented 2 years ago

I don't know much about electron or nodejs, so I wouldn't really know how to fix up itch to properly use a newer electron version. So for me I'm just going to keep Arch downgraded until more electron apps get fixed

x-arisu commented 2 years ago

I was able to get it to run on the latest glibc by running itch without a sandbox --no-sandbox so at least there's a workaround for now

Another solution is to use electron11 Just installing a different electron version won't work, though, since itch normally ships with its own compiled version, but i made an AUR package which uses this one: itch-bin (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/itch-bin)

You can also launch it manually like this: electron11 ~/.itch/app-25.5.1/resources/app/

(Note: it looks like an error message does appear if you have the web browser enabled, but the app works fine if you just leave it alone, don't click any of the buttons on the pop-up)

x-arisu commented 2 years ago

the AUR package works great! Thank you Edit: actually it crashes quite a bit

m00nwtchr commented 2 years ago

@ArisuUWU Do you get a message with three buttons? (with the title The application has crashed) or does it just close? if the former, just move it aside and check if you can still use the main itch app

EDIT: Looks like using the web browser causes it to close instantly, but you can still use other parts of the app.

x-arisu commented 2 years ago

@m00nwtchr I was able to get it to work without crashing by setting some variables in main.bundle.js This is hacky and breaks some things. It for sure breaks games tagged as "Play In Browser", but as far as I can tell it works for everything else. patch.zip

Thanks! I added the patch to the aur package.
