I am on Kubuntu 20.04 and I have trouble getting the game to launch. Executing the script in start.sh results in the output:
"Running Janosik
Opening in existing browser session."
And nothing else happens. I tried grepping for the line, and it seems to come from a game specific file (?) :
$ grep -R "Opening in existing" .
Binary file ./game/locales/en-US.pak matches
It is possible that it is because I'm new to Linux but I tried installing another random game from the site and it works fine.
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. In another thread on this forum, about "an outbound attempt connection of nw.exe to the IP 142.250.81.3 port 443", the user The Happy Friar pointed out that "from what I could tell from a few minutes looking in to it, it's part of the engine he used to make the game because it's based around google's chromium. that's why it pings google". With Google Chrome installed I was able to run the game.
