So what you are saying is that:
1) The developer did not test the GOG build.
2) The publisher did not test the GOG build.
3) GOG did not test the GOG build.

I don't think I'll buy this game on GOG.

yeah, actually that is a bit frustrating.

For those people using Lutris: when you configure the game, go to system options (tick show advanced options). There, you will be able to set environment variables. Setting KEY to LC_ALL and VALUE to C did the trick for me.

Maybe that's something smarter people can write in Loop Hero's install script :)

I bought the game today, installed the Linux version and I also encountered this problem. Skipping the tutorial doesn't do sh*t for me, the character doesn't move at all.

This game is broken and unplayable.

Why don't the developers fix their game?? This awful, GAME-BREAKING bug is known for over a month and nothing happens? Where is the urgent hot-fix that should have arrived days later at most?

There was a flurry of hotfixes for a week, which we got a week later. Now it's the big ol' middle finger, not that I'm bitter ;)

This bug is still present half a year later, and it can be fixed by a one-line edit to the launcher script even, no need to even recompile anything

Now I'm facing this bug. Do you know the solution? I'm watching the start.sh but I've no clue what I have to change to mak this bug away.

UPDATE: Soory, didn't find the first page of this topic :D
