Github down/Linux builds missing

[Albedo667]

I noticed yesterday when the 2.0.5 release dropped, GitHub now gives a 404, and right before that, i was unable to get the Linux build, as it was a copy of the Windows one.

Furthermore i suppose, on that end, via proton/lutris, the windows build can't get in-game due to a graphics device lost error in vulkan (which I assume is due to Proton)

Either way, I just wanted to bring to your attention that the Linux downloads and the GitHub links are broken.

I'm quite excited to try out the new version once I can, regardless.

The windows and the Linux downloads are identical. They contain all data required by d2x-xl and all executables. I probably simply failed to update the Linux download link, thanks for the pointer.

umm? it is? oh. then its probably due to me running on bazzite or something. the linux executable wont launch for me, forcing me to run it in proton. i thought i had to compile it myself.

You need to make the Linux exe executable (chmod). If that's not the reason: Does it miss any libraries?

Vulkan should run natively on Steam hardware, but maybe not a Windows executable ...

I have made the repo private since I am currently experimenting a lot and I don't want people to pull broken builds.

/var/home/bazzite/Games/d2/drive_c/GOG Games/D2X-XL/d2x-xl: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_mixer-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


is the error i get. the executable doesnt launch when double clicked, so i tried it via terminal.

Bazzite is running on an AMD Ryzen 5 pro 5675U latptop, but it also did this exact same behavior on Linux mint on our cloud rig running a 7800x3d and 7900XTX GPU and like, 92gb of ram.

So its not just my main laptop. The linux build is not functional for either device, and im not sure why.

Tbh, i did this initially on the MXS cloud rig, as i wanted to see raytracing in d2x-xl for years.

i'm using an AMD build of Bazzite.
In desktop mode, I use Steam to launch the game while using proton experimental version.
Though keep in mind - I am also using the valkan exe. So I don't know how the other exes will work at the moment.

You are probably simply missing some libraries. I couldn't e.g. link the SDL2 libs statically, so I guess I will have to pack them together with the executable; I am currently investigating this.
