Hey all.
I am keen to get this game but am curious if anyone has played the Linux version and that all is good. if so what Linux distribution did you play this on? Thanks.

Currently can't even run the damned thing. I can't get libjpeg.so.8 on Fedora 31, no package has it.

I informed the person handling the Linux version port about that missing lib but I'm not sure how soon I can get a patch up.

If you don't want to wait shmerl (Debian Testing) has it running with "libjpeg-turbo8 from another distro".

Thanks to both of you, Zan_HedonDev and Gydion. I'll give that workaround a try, poke around pkgs.org to see if I can find the file I need..
It's getting to where I'd REALLY like to see Flatpak or at least Appimage picked up for game distribution. It wouldn't solve these lib issues, but they'd mitigate them.

Meh.
New version of the installer, new problem.

[RawSteelUT@DESKTOP-UONKVL6 Hedon]$ ./start.sh
Running Hedon
./hedon: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Anyone know where to find this file in Fedora?

It's available on another distro like the last file you were missing. I think you can download that from the "download from mirror" option and get the file you need out of there. Not sure if there's a better/easier option for getting the file.

Edit: Unless your distro has a package that contains it. Not sure about that either.

If you find it and it works, let me know and shoot me a download link so I can add it in. I still want to gather a few more bugs before I release the next hotfix, though.

You don't. I assume you have bzip2-lib installed. Apparently, it's a feature, not a bug. E.G. symlink libbz2.so.1 to libbz2.so.1.0 in the game's lib subdirectory.

The command is ln -s libbz2.so.1 libbz2.so.1.0, yeah?

$ cd /path/to/hedon/lib/subdirectory
$ ln -s /lib/libbz2.so.1 libbz2.so.1.0
#assuming that's correct path to libbz2.so.1

I.E. yeah.

Weird, that. Didn't work for me. Does it need to be run as administrator?

Didn't work isn't much to go on. Did the link creation fail or Hedon still wouldn't launch? Your user should have the necessary rights to create the symlink if it's the one that installed/extracted Hedon.
Post the literal commands you used. Also, a pwd and ls -nl libbz2.so* in the game's lib subdirectory.

Actually, nevermind. You want the 64-bit libbz2. Which I guess is under /lib64/? Not that familiar with Fedora. Just need to link to the lib with the correct bit-ness:
$ cd /path/to/hedon/lib/subdirectory
$ rm libbz2.so.1.0
$ ln -s /lib64/libbz2.so.1 libbz2.so.1.0
