Hello!

I am wondering if anyone has issues running this game on Linux with an "Exited abnormally" message..

$ ./start.sh
Running Unbound: Worlds Apart
4.26.2-0+++UE4+Release-4.26 522 0
Disabling core dumps.
Exiting abnormally (error code: 1)

I did some digging and it seems that the game is using NVIDIA PhysX and my system has an AMD GPU.

Can a developer clarify what GPU vendors are supported and unsupported on Linux?

The product page just says "Nvidia GTX 950 or equivalent".

Any news on this error?

i do have the same issue on linux with amd and mesa

so 1 year after no fix?


the windows version with wine works fine. this is my work around for now.

Got the game only during this sale and encountered same issue.

In order to solve this try the following.

a) Go into your "Unbound/game/Unbound/Content/Paks" folder.
b) You will find 2 files "Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak.split00" and "Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak.split01"
c) Open terminal and type as below:

cat Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak.split00 Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak.split01 > Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak

d) It will combine both files into "Unbound-LinuxNoEditor.pak"

e) Try to launch the game, if it launches you can remove the "splitXX" files

The Linux version of Witcher 2 did something like this, hence why I found out what the issue was.

Awesome, this works! Thank you!

Though I also have a problem with running it via Lutris:
env: ‘/home/user/lutris/gog/unbound-worlds-apart/start.sh’: Permission denied
Exit with return code 32256
and all file permissions seem ok at first glance.

Edit: nevermind, AppArmor profile for Lutris needed some tweaking.

I just want to say thank you for this fix as I ran across this issue as well. As a, relatively, new Linux users, I am continually grateful for those that understand this stuff more than I. You're the best. :)
