tjbaxter: Hotline Miami 2 isn't booting at all in Linux, I have tried both the .DEB and the .TAR archive. I don't get a loading screen or anything...

I am running the latest version of Linux Mint.
Hi,

Hotline Miami 2 requires the following packages to be installed: libsdl2-2.0-0 and dependencies.
Notice: this game comes with a 64-bit binary only.

Hope that helps :)

I am running the latest version of Linux Mint.

Edit: I read that it only has a 64-bit version... is this true?

vanillatray: I am trying to run both the Linux deb install and the tarball archive on two of my Linux machines.

Here is the error from my Linux Mint Debian 64 bit (Linux Mint LMDE 64-bit) machine:
Running Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number
./HotlineMiami2: symbol lookup error: ./HotlineMiami2: undefined symbol: SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromRW

libsdl2-2.0-0 is already installed and at the newest version.

(EDIT)

On my other machine, running Debian 64 bit, receives this error.
Running Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number
./HotlineMiami2: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This computer does not have the libsdl2.2-0.0 package installed yet. I'll post my findings as I research this further. The only thing I've found by googling these so far was that it was related to the libsdl2.0.2 package.

Being that both computers are 64 bit, running 64 bit OS's, that should clear up the other questions people have had.

Have not successfully got it to run through WINE yet either.
I had this problem on my Mint install.

Here's what I did to solve it:

Search for libsdl2.2-0.0 on your system, you should have multiple copies of it by now if you ever installed any games that required it. Look for a copy of the libsdl2.2-0.0 file that is around 5.9 MB in size. Copy that to the /lib/ folder in /opt/GOG Games/Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number/game/ and you should be good to go.

Not sure why HM2 won't find the proper 64-bit libsdl on some systems,
