I own both Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Dragonfall -Director's Cut-. Neither one will open after install, no matter how many times I install them.
I currently run Arch Linux as my operating system and I am not currently going to switch to anything else because for some reason any other Linux distribution has massive screen tearing issues for my 600 series graphics card from Nvidia - which was originally put in this computer for Windows - before I switched to Linux 6 months ago. I've learned a lot since then. I can manage my own system without any issue now. On Arch I do not get any screen tearing anymore - why I don't know yet.
But, for some reason I can't solve this issue where the Shadowrun series games do not run on here at all. I click on the icon, nothing happens. I currently only own 2 other games on GOG besides the Shadowrun series games - and that is Pillars of Eternity and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura (which can only be run through Wine since I don't use Windows anymore). Those games work, without any configuring or problems - why won't these?
That's a hard question I tried for a long time to answer for myself, but I realize I can't - and need assistance from others that know more than me. I've really tried to figure this out on my own, but I just can't.
Any chance anyone would have any practical suggestions to solve this problem? Is there any dependencies that these games need, that somehow are already included for the other 2 games to function?
Thanks in advance for the help.
