Linux Troubleshooting

[C7]

Due to variances in Linux distros there are a few common problems that users have run into. We officially support the same distributions as the Unity Engine, which is Ubuntu 12.04 +. Other distributions can and will work, but it can require a bit of configuration and tinkering.

Problem : Steam Related issues

We use Steam as a distribution platform for downloading and running the game. There's a few common issues on Linux with Steam itself.

Game works flawlessly (mostly) on Mint Linux 17.1 (Rebecca) and Mint Linux 17.3 (Rosa).  Also works well on Elementary OS Luna (0.2).

The first two are based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTE and the last on Ubuntu 12.04 LTE.

May try it on CentOS 7 at some point.  If it works, will post results.
