lazydog: I have actually tried to do that before as well but I cannot navigate as far as "GOG Games" folder. Is this the problem, having a folder with spaces in the name? I did not modify this but chose the default gog install option in place.

If this is the problem, I may uninstall the game and set my own installation path to see if that works- unless you know of another way?
Spaces shouldn't be a problem. What error does the file manager give when you try to access the "GOG Games" directory?

when trying to navigate with the terminal it says there is no such directory.

However, I have just tried Alm88s advice using the \ to get around the space.

Now i get the following when trying to execute

Running Door Kickers
./DoorKickers: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so I guess I am still missing something to run the game.

This seems to be a driver problem.

In my system I have this library from nVidia proprietary driver package (nvidia-352).

What videocard are you using?

I don't own Door Kickers, so I haven't encountered this specific issue firsthand; but see if this Ubuntu Forum thread helps you with your problem.

Hi Alm888

I am using an AMD Radeon 5870.

Ouch!

Sorry... But I kinda have to say this: AMD GPUs on LInux are inferior in every aspect.

Didn't own a single AMD/ATI card but from what I heard your best bet are open-source video drivers (xserver-xorg-video-radeon). Try out that and do not bother with proprietary AMD drivers (catalyst, fglrx).

IMPORTANT ADDITION: It seems AMD video driver does not provide needed library. You have to use OpenGL from Mesa project. Try installing "libgl1-mesa-glx" package.

Hi all

many thanks for your replies, I greatly appreciate all your help and patience. I think I will just raise a support ticket for this one.

I meet the requirements to run this game and this library is not listed as required on the game page so will see what gog have to say.

Thanks again.

AMD shouldn't be a problem
i build 2 pc both with 5770 and i was able to play games with proprietary and open-source drivers (i.e. Insurgency, tomb raider 2013, dead island riptide, fallout 3, mortal kombat 9, xcom, dishonored, and some stuff with dolphin-emu).
you should nail doorkickers IMHO.

you can easily check witch drivers are installed in the terminal by typhing

glxinfo |grep core

amd's open-source drivers run great with dx9 games with gallium_nine drivers and wine enabled, you can get the latest open-source drivers with gallium_nine enabled by adding the OIBAF ppa

[url=https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers]https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers[/url]

as for doorkickers you can check trough the terminal if that library is installed by typing

apt search libgl

then scrolling all the way up to check if they are installed (if there is an "i" on the left side they are installed)
ps. i've attached a screenshot
