I also have this issue with release-50a on Arch Linux. I "solved" it by using another malloc lib, and then resize the window with the mouse.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libjemalloc.so ./Mini\ Metro

I read somewhere that builds from older Unity is the problem, but I don't know anything about it.

Unfortunately with the new release
mini_metro_202307181213_release_53_66286.sh
the black screen at startup (fedora 42) is back again - please fix that as soon as possible, thanks!

I'm just seeing if there are any updates or workarounds to this problem.

Upon going into the console and using gtk-launcher, I am not given an error message but a black screen.

My specs:

Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
Intel Core i7-10700kf cpu
GeForce RTX 3090

Currently having this black screen problem. Here are my specs:

OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
GPU: GeForce RTX 4060

I tried activating power saving mode on the PRIME profile so it only uses AMD but it still doesn't work. After looking at the Player.log file, I have the same issue as user EugVVI. I have tried using Steam's proton compatibility layers, installing the .exe and running WINE using Lutris, and copied the libminimetrox.so library to the directory specified in the Player.log:

Fallback handler could not load library /home/cardinalbadger/GOG Games/Mini Metro/game/Mini Metro_Data/Mono/libminimetrox.so

I sent an email to support@dinopoloclub.com as well with this information and the log file.

Thanks!

Were you able to get a response from them yet? I only got the instructions for the Steam install.
