I launch the game this way:

CACHEDIR=~/.spel-data/home/Zomboid HOME=~/.spel-data/home ~/.spel-data/GOG\ Games/Project\ Zomboid/start.sh -cachedir=~/.spel-data/home/Zomboid

I get this error:

~/Zomboid is read only but it shouldn't affect startup.

That folder shouldn't be read-only. Could you change its permissions?

This one seems to be because it can't get a list of available resolutions. If you have a nVidia or AMD card, could you make sure the proprietary drivers are installed?

Not sure what to suggest if it's an Intel. Not finding the usual results when googling.

Could also be a problem with entropy, as this is happening around a rand() call: https://steamcommunity.com/app/108600/discussions/0/1692659769946051325/

I use the free nvidia drivers (Nouveau).

The thread suggests installing xrandr which I have installed.

Ah, okay. Not sure if it could be a problem with Nouveau specifically or not.

A user with a similar issue (one line off) mentions needing to change some settings in grub to get it to work: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectzomboid/comments/6rqqgg/game_does_not_start_on_linux/

Will otherwise see if I can't find some more info about the problem.

This isn't good. :-( I will have to return the game. Perhaps I will give it a shot in the future.

Update: It turned out randr was the issue after all. Turns out there is a xorg-xrandr package that I needed as well.

Thank you very much for your time.
