ikkan: I installed reigns on Linux Mint 64 bits, no problem.

But the game doesn't start. I tried running start.sh from bash and get no error message :

Running Reigns

Using libudev for joystick management

Importing game controller configs

And then nothing happens.
When I plug a game controller in, it configures it, but then same result : nothing.

Help ?
Hello ikkan,

Can you provide your system information as well as the game log (Player.log) and configuration file (prefs)? It will help in identifying the cause of the issue. You can generate the system report using the script provided with the copy of the game and the mentioned files will be in the following path:

$HOME/.config/unity3d/devolver/Reigns/

You can also provide the mentioned information using our support channels: https://support.gog.com/

Sorry for the late response!

ikkan: Hello,

Your answer isn't late at all, I'm just glad to get one.
Here are the Player.log and the output of the system report:
https://pastebin.com/dRenGrgK

I couldn't find the prefs file.

Looking at the Player.log, it says I need OpenGL 3.2 but I only have OpenGL 3.0. I guess that's the problem ?
Yes, looks like it!

However, according to this list your card should support up to OpenGL 3.3 on Linux:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units

I believe you could solve the issue by updating your Mesa drivers to the latest version.
However, since you use an old Mint installation (Mint 17, based on Ubuntu 14.04), that will require you to first upgrade to the latest Mint version (Mint 18 or even better, 18.2 - both based on Ubuntu 16.04). And then installing latest Mesa using official PPA provided by Ubuntu.

These links should be helpful, although you are more or less on your own with upgrading, so be very careful what you're doing and make sure to create backups of important files before upgrading:

ikkan: Yeah, I've been procrastinating from updating my system for far too long.
Thanks for the help!
I don't know if you can do anything about that, but it would have been nice to get an error message when I tried tu run the game, it would have saved time.
You mean, like an error window popping up? Well... That's doable from our side and we have been thinking about it, although it's not really "the Linux way" of handling errors. I would say it's on game developers themselves (in this case, Unity engine developers) to implement such usability features, since all games are GUI applications.

So, surely not on our map for now.
