I'm on Debian 64 bit and have Dosbox installed, with the terminal It keeps saying I have no permission even though I did chmod 777 and +x. I can launch the config file but not the game, it opens and then it simply crash. Quite a bit disappointed it should be removed from the store at this state.

Hi chaotikcrow!

I am not able to reproduce your issue since the game is working correctly for me on Ubuntu 16.04. Can you provide an exact error message that you're getting, as well as your detailed system report? The latter can be generated using the script you will find in the game installation path.

If you are not comfortable by posting the mentioned information here, feel free to submit it directly to our customer support: https://support.gog.com/

DId a quick video, hopefully it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR07c65Ls90&feature=youtu.be

EDIT: I was able to play while using Lutris and then launch it with Dosbox.

Alright, I think I know what is wrong.

Do you use a 32 bit system by any chance? That's why I asked you to generate a system report. Also, NEVER try to run (or install) our games from root account.

In the game folder, run:

chmod -R +x .

The game should run afterwards.

Running 64 bit, I will check how to do a system report. I know being root is dangerous but I thought it was okay to run something like a game, won't do it again. Thank you I will give a try and see if it works, if it doesn't I will send you a report.

I just picked this game up. It's not working for me either.

This is what I am getting when running it from terminal

Running Eradicator
Starting Eradicator
DOSBox version 0.74

CONFIG:Loading primary settings from config file dosbox_eradicator.conf

Stick with the default values unless you are absolutely certain.

DOSBox switched to max cycles, because of the setting: cycles=auto. If the game runs too fast try a fixed cycles amount in DOSBox's options.

For Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64
It works if you
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib
sudo apt-get install dosbox:i386
sudo apt-get install lib32z1-dev

Then download libpng-1.2.10 source code
Compile it with
export CC="gcc -m32"
export CXX="g++ -m32"
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32
make
sudo make install

In the Eradicator directory edit start.sh
Change the three occurrences of x86_64 (after uname -i) to x86 or anything but x86_64

Change in game/x32/dosbox_linux and
chmod -R u+x *

Then go back to the Eradicator directory

Then excute start.sh and it should work.
./start.sh

For Debian x86_64
The first thing to do is as root
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
Then the Ubuntu x86_64 instructions should work
