Hello,

I've just tried running it on Ubuntu 22.04, and it didn't work:

$ ./start.sh
Running Stardew Valley
./StardewValley: line 7: sw_vers: command not found
NoFpsCap: This feature is not available
setGameMode( 'titleScreenGameMode (0)' )
loadPreferences(); begin - languageCode=
No usable version of libssl was found
./StardewValley: line 27: 59507 Aborted (core dumped) ./"Stardew Valley" $@

I decided to try an older libssl version, from the previous LTS Ubuntu: packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libssl1.1/download

Just downloaded the package:
wget security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.15_amd64.deb

Installed it:
dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.15_amd64.deb

And the game started without any issues!

I'm on Linux Mint 20.3 and have lost track of what version of Ubuntu corresponds loosely to what version in Mint, but I recently upgraded the game to the last version (1.5.6 or something), just overwriting the files, and everything worked well. Also installed SMAPI (for mods) and UI Info Suite 2, and that too worked without any tinkering. Glad you sorted things out, though. It's a fun little game :)

@pangaea666, Linux Mint 20.3 is based on Ubuntu 20.04, so there is no issue :)

Mint 21 will be Ubuntu 22.04, and if the game will be not updated, there will be an issue.

You were right there is an issue.
I can't remember if I had to do something special to make it run on 20.x but it won't after I upgraded to 21. Right now I'm willing to wait to see if the game is updated before taking matter in my own hands.

Any idea if there is still an issue with running this game on Linux Mint 21? I see it has been released, but I haven't upgraded yet.

Hi! I'm also using Linux Mint 20.3. I don't know if it works on Linux Mint 21. My recommendation is to wait, not only in the case of Stardew Valley, but because that way the developers have time to fix possible bugs. Linux Mint 20 will be supported until 2025. There is no need to rush to update.

Thanks for the answer. As you say, it's probably best to simply wait. Stardew will also get a 1.6 release at some point, so maybe this issue will get sorted out then, and it will be safer to upgrade to Mint 21.
