Thanks, that fixed the problem.
Now just gotta install all the other dependencies the game asks for :-)
Posted June 11, 2016
Alright so I used the following command to find the missing dependencies:
find / | grep librtmp.so.0
(replace librtmp.so.0 with whatever dependency is missing)

And I found out I had a lot of dependency shortcuts that came with steam.
So after copying all of the steam dependencies in the "Mount Blade Warbrand/game" folder the game finally ran.

Good to hear that. I still wish the devs would update the game for 64 bit system.

That is bad. I couldn't get it running. Actually managed to break half of my Linux os trying to get it to run so just stayed away from it after that. Though I think I will get the the Mount & Blade Warband: Viking that actually has 64-bit LInux version.

You can try copying steam dependencies.
Most of them are shortcuts to the dependencies anyway.

They should be in your home folder/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu

Starmaker: No. To play a game legally, you need an end user license. To get a license, you need to buy one from a copy reseller authorized by the rightsholder (such as GOG) -- that's what "copyright" means. Third-party sites aren't authorized. Buying a key from Kinguin is like downloading a game from TPB and flushing cash down the toilet, except worse, because money flushed down the toilet doesn't go on to fund moar illegal activities such as more card fraud and hospital ransomware (both of which kill people).

If you want to play a commercial game, buy a legal copy. If you can't afford a legal copy, consider playing something else to support indie developers -- there are tons of cheap and free games which are nevertheless good and need an audience more than they need money. Can't pay (e.g. "banking while brown", no way to pay electronically)? Pirate and donate cash to a charity. No money at all (e.g. a kid in a wingnut household)? Just pirate. Any of the above is strictly better than giving money to criminals instead of the devs and acting like nothing's wrong.
This. So much this.

NuffCatnip: It's allowed to buy keys on that site, you won't get into any trouble, but there is a chance for those keys to get revoked.

I wouldn't buy the game on a keyreseller site but directly from gog, but it's up to you what you want to do. :)
Yeah, it`s like in a game, when some shady person ask you to smuggle something in your ship/spaceship:
You can have luck and earn a bit money (or a game for cheap in this case) but often the customs officers will catch you!

But how can you tell the difference from illegal and legal copies?
Maybe those games are used and they are reselling them?

Not an actual word. It's a mix of king and penguin, that's why it's pictured as a penguin wearing a crown.

Though some of you guys are wrong about the support. I buy all my games on kinguin and never had an issue with GOG support. If a key is duplicated GOG is always providing date of activation so reporting such key is super easy. Luckily their support isn't steam-like. Keep it up GOG support, best platform so far.
