Pour plus de jeux supportés, ça se passe par ici !

Thanks for sharing this! Unfortunately the game won't run on Debian. Can you help?

When I start the game, I get this

Dott: 5: Dott: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting ")")

I'm running on amd64, and set this in the play-day-of-the-tentacle-remastered.sh file

PKG1_ARCH='amd64'

Is this something that should work?

It won't work, this game is 32-bit only ;-)

Here you go to enable 32-bit support on your 64-bit Debian (all commands should be run as root): Then you can rebuild the .deb package via the ./play.it script (without any modification) and install it through the provided commands.

Thanks so much for your help. I was able to build and install the deb file, but when I start it shuts down immediately with a segmentation fault. I guess I will have to install Ubuntu :(

Here the game runs flawlessly on a Debian Sid amd64.

Have you tried switching to open-source graphics drivers (radeon, amdgpu or nouveau) if you’re using the non-free ones (fglrx or nvidia)?

Meh. Try an ldd on the executable.
As noted on the game page you will need the Debian equivalents of these libs: Unless ./play.it is handling that?

./play.it scripts do take care of the dependencies installation ;-)

Thanks. I know I should have known that, but memory failed me.

I'm on it right now ;-)
