I had the same issue on 14.04 previously - I can install the game, and all works until I try to interact with Vargas in the opening scene. The cursor moves around but nothing is "clickable". You can type messages, but that is about it. Basically, the game is unplayable for me.

Any advice? Has anyone seen this? I searched in this forum but did not find this problem.

I haven't had trouble with other gog linux games I have tried (Legend of Grimrock, Spacechem, Wasteland 1). I use a supported Radeon card with open source drivers (previously on 14.04 I tried the fglrx drivers as well, with no difference). I run 64 bit, but I have done the i386 architecture additions suggested in the GOG help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello there!

This issue is caused by the Unity engine limitation. The developer of the game posted a solution on inXile forums:

So it looks like you need to run 'ulimit' command to increase the default system limit of open file handles the game process can open. For example:

ulimit -Sn 65536

then start the game using the start script:

./start.sh

You can put the 'ulimit' command in the 'start.sh' script below the line 17 to make sure it is always executed before you run the game. So this fragment of the script will look like this:

echo "Running ${GAME_NAME}"
ulimit -Sn 65536
local bin32_name="WL2"
local bin64_name="$bin32_name"
local bin_path32="$CURRENT_DIR/game/"
local bin_path64="$bin_path32"
local lib_path32="$CURRENT_DIR/lib/"
local lib_path64="$lib_path32"
execute_game "${bin32_name}" "${bin64_name}" "${bin_path32}" "${bin_path64}" "${lib_path32}" "${lib_path64}"

Let me know if it worked!
