Good Day!

Knightin'+ installs and runs on my Linux machine, but it does not show any text and mostly only one light blue colour on the start screen and obviously missing details e.g. on the helmet in the lower right. No text, no nothing. Making it unplayable. I cannot even launch a new game. :-(

It also always starts not on the designated main screen.

The music plays at least.


The distro is Linux Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon desktop and current updates. Running kernel 5.4.0-40-generic and teh nVidia blob driver.


edit: in the terminal it says

"Running Knightin'+
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed"

no shit, no Steam API, when getting it from GOG...

Thanks a lot for this information. Hopefully that's not the reason why the assets won't load. I have this game sitting in my wish list but if it's not going to play on Linux I won't waste my time.

Do you have any updates? Were you able to get it to work?

Oh yes I am as well. Apologies for not writing it more clearly. I was a bit miffed that day because it does not run. Sorry. Well, I use the nVidia blob driver and it gives me the described bug. With Nuveau I only get a magenta coloured screen. In both cases I can hear the music and I can hear the cursor moving around the menu options. And I have somehow blindly changed it to windowed mode.

I am on Mint20 by now, but nothing has changed regarding my bug, sadly. :-( I have played it by now on an old Windows laptop with Windows, that was collecting dust in a corner. Cute little Zelda-ish game and fun. But this weird graphics bug is weird and well I want to game on Linux! So is there any way to dump some error messages from the game? Is there knightin+ --verbose? ;-)




p.s. thank you for replying and my apologies for not looking into the GOG forums more often.
