Screenshot attached.

This happens when i launch the game. running linux mint 17.3 xfce I have all the required packages installed, which I upgraded today. I was just getting a black screen with pink blocks before that. Anyone know what could be the problem?

My screen looked the same (On Archlinux, using primusrun, with intel it was just black).

I checked the dependencies and was missing some 32bit packages. I solved it by installing lib32-sdl2.

What was it? How do you resolve it?

I've actually just reinstalled and updated my system.

The libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 package isn't available in the repo anymore so I'm at a loss. It's the only one I'm missing now so I assume that's the problem.

I mentioned in the first post but mint 17.3 xfce

See here. If that doesn't work, using KDE & free radeon driver, there was another more in-depth thread about apt resolving logic that could be useful.

No problem Judas :p

Installing libwayland worked :D Thank you~ Though I do get odd crackling audio if I alt-tab out and back, which isn't that big of issue, at least I can actually play it now.

Thanks again~

Running Mint 17.3 Cinnamon here.
I have this problem too - black screen with (mostly pink and purplish) scrambled, corrupted bits of text and images sometimes, rendering in the wrong directions and sometimes strobing.
The problem seems to be that Mint 17.3 HAS no 32-bit SDL2 libraries in the repo that don't try to wipe out your entire graphics system. They're all flagged as mutually-exclusive with the 64-bit libraries. The same thing happened with Wayland -- what few components didn't prompt to uninstall xorg or other similarly insane requests didn't help.

Switching to the open-source drivers wiped out hardware acceleration from the system completely, so I'm sadly stuck with the proprietary ones. I'm at a loss as to what to do... has ANYONE got this game working on Mint 17 Cinnamon?

EDIT:

Tried some suggestions from linked thread and threads linked by that.

Output for attempting the wayland workaround:
<username>@<hostname> ~ $ sudo apt install libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid:i386
[sudo] password for <username>:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid

Looks like that's not in the repo for this version either.

<username>@<hostname> ~ $ locate libSDL2-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.2.0

These would be the 64-bit versions the system is using, I don't seem to have any prepacked 32-bit versions in any software I have installed, and I don't know where Enter the Gungeon loads prepacked libraries from (I assume /home/<username>/GOG Games/Enter the Gungeon/game/EtG_Data/Plugins/x86 , but I'm not sure).

Does anybody know where I can find a prepacked version of the library that works with this game? I can probably figure out where to put it through trial and error.

That's odd. What do your sources look like? Try viewing the package & dependencies in e.g. aptitude:

Some dependencies also seem to be marked as breaking their respective 64-bit versions. There's definitely funny business going on on the package management side. Also, while I'm not used to using aptitude, some of my GRUB packages seem to be... locked at a certain version? Complained about in some way, at least (the indicators on every page seem alarming, but I don't want to mess with the boot sequence of the machine.)

In response to DodgeRollRubel, HOORAY!
I'm excitedly waiting for the new version to hit GOG - I assume it's bundled with the 1.0.6 patch.
While Mint (and Ubuntu) will still have weirdness going on behind the scenes when it comes to 32-bit library support, I won't have to worry about it to play a nice game of Enter the Gungeon!


EDIT: 1.0.6 version is confirmed to fix the issue for me! Have fun playing, everyone!
