When I load either of these games, it flashes up briefly green on my name that I'm playing the game, then disappears, and nothing happens. Running steam directly in the terminal produces this when I try to load Droid Assault:

This appears to be an issue with their launch scripts, are you using a different shell than default?

Ssaward 2013-02-18 github

Installed Ubuntu, I think 12.04.1 (not .2...pretty sure), and then installed all available updates. Typically I run steam through the desktop icon that was created automatically, but to get the data above I ran it in a shell. I loaded the default console (or terminal, can't remember the name), which I assume would then just be whatever is standard for Ubuntu, Bash, I'm guessing.

Jjohndrinkwater 2013-02-18 github

The game should be making log files inside ~/.titan_attacks/, could you put that into a gist file

Jjohndrinkwater 2013-02-18 github

If it is not (as I suspect), would you replace SteamApps/common/Titan Attacks/titanattacks.sh with this file ‐ all I have done is quote some variables so it doesn’t break with the space in the filename https://gist.github.com/johndrinkwater/4977016 and then look for the log file

Ssaward 2013-02-18 github

I shall test that out in about 12 hours when I have the chance, and post the log file. Thanks!

Pprincec 2013-02-18 github

I've got a patch waiting in the wings but for some reason Steampipe is broken and won't let me upload it...

Ffrancesmcmullin 2013-02-18 github

Sorry if this is a different issue but I saw identical output when trying to launch titan attacks. Really want to be able to play this game (on mint 14 / ubuntu 12.10). here's a gist of my Titan.log : https://gist.github.com/davecocoa/4981222

Pprincec 2013-02-18 github

No, that's a completely different issue; you've got 64-bit Linux there and Steam and the game are both 32-bit, so it can't link OpenALSoft to your audio. You'll need to do a sudo apt-get install ia32-libs to get it to run.

However, I am also using 64-bit linux. The missing library is in fact present on my system, in:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6

So I thought (since you said that the app is 32-bit) that if I try to install ia32-libs, it may install whatever else was missing:

# apt-get install ia32-libs

So is there a way to modify steam, or the app itself, so that it will ensure that all these libs get installed prior to loading the game? I'm sure there will be lots of potential gamer linux users that won't be able to run through these steps on their own.

That is, considering that my installation is pretty much the one that is currently recommended for steam.

@saward suggestions for how to better handle dependency resolution can be found on #1167, and a little bit on #1200

Glad to see this is being looked into :)

The best solution is for Steam itself to depend on multiarch and bring it down when it installs - it's kinda daft of Steam, being 32 bit, to attempt to run on 64 bit systems without it.

@princec Could the game write out.log & err.log to the same location as titanattacks.sh.log?

john@joran ~ > ll .titan_attacks
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john 1220 2013-02-19 14:30 titanattacks.sh.log
john@joran ~ > ll .titan_attacks_2.00/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john    0 2013-02-19 14:30 err.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john 2535 2013-02-19 14:30 out.log

It could... might change it to do that in future.

@princec Can you be persuaded to respect the XDG Base Directory Specification?

Seems like a unnecessary lot of clutter in the home directory :)

Think I've pinned these down

The fix for this is to declare a serialVersionUID value in your classes instead of relying on the JVM to automatically assign one - different JVMs have different behaviour for the automatic assignment. You see this problem when people serialize Swing classes (which despite being marked Serializable are not meant to be serialized...) and try and deserialize them on another machine.

Suspect the problem is a recent JVM implementation update on Ubuntu machines - my newly bought copy of Ultratron is not suffering from this.

From the *.sh.log of these two games :

java.io.InvalidClassException: net.puppygames.applet.MiniGame; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = 4000528573055303634, local class serialVersionUID = -9110027440223321248

Hello, is anyone still encountering this issue on an up to date system?

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2017-05-08 github

Closing pending feedback.

Ssaward 2017-05-09 github

Just tested it, and game runs fine now.

Nothing extracted yet.
