I run the latest Ubuntu. I have a GeForce GTX 650. Yes, I have updated my drivers.

I can create my party just fine. However, when I click to "Play!", after the loading screen but before the game proper, the game crashes.

The terminal always gives me something similar to:

> support/gog_com.shlib: line 199: 2509 Aborted (core dumped) ./"${bin_64}"

Line 199+ of that file is the following:

> execute_game() {
> local bin_32="${1}"
> local bin_64="${2}"
> local bin_path32="${3}"
> local bin_path64="${4}"
> local lib_path32="${5}"
> local lib_path64="${6}"
> local arch=$(uname -m)
> if [ "$arch" == "x86_64" ]
> then
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$lib_path64"
> cd "${bin_path64}"
> ./"${bin_64}"
> else
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$lib_path32"
> cd "${bin_path32}"
> ./"${bin_32}"
> fi
> }

Since the file that the error originates from is gog_com.shlib, does that mean this is a problem on GOG's side? If so, what can I do? When will a fix come?

I think your best bet is to contact support and see what they say about the issue.

I'm not quite sure what the GOG script does in launching WL2 but you could try to launch the WL2 executable without the GOG script and see what happens.

Double-clicking, or right-clicking on and selecting "Run", the purple diamond WL2 icon does nothing.

I can't seem to find a way to contact GOG directly. I'm just led in circles back to the forums. Do you have an email or link?

Go to "Support" from the top of the page, then choose the correct game, then in the right side there is a link "I can't find a solution for my problem".

From the following page you can find a link that has instructions how you can create a system report which will probably help them to find a solution.

All roads lead me back to this page: http://www.gog.com/support/wasteland_2_kickstarter

Edit: someone got in touch with me. I managed to access the contact form finally. ;)

Yes, the support page for the Kickstarter edition seems to not work.

Go to support then use either "Wasteland 2 Digital Classic Edition" or "Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition". I would think it does not matter since the game itself is the same.
