Hello there,

the Linux version is starting and plays music, but i don't see any graphic. The screen keeps being black. I have the same problem when i use the Windows version with Wine on Linux.

Any ideas?

Same here. No solution/idea yet. Would also appreciate good ideas or approaches :)
PC (i7-6700, GeForce GTX 960) with Linux Mint 21 XFCE.

Strange: the game starts without any problems on my laptop, which also runs Mint 21.
I have the same issue, but I'm on regular Windows 10.

Music starts playing and my screen goes into sleep mode.

If I alt-tab, I see 1 frame of the main menu of the game, and then my desktop.

I have a 3090 with a 144hz display, latest drivers.

Hello,

there is workaround mentioned in this thread, which worked for me:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/7360#note_1596992

You can explicitly set the graphics renderer to OpenGL instead of Vulkan:
- edit: "~/.local/share/Terrible Toybox/Return to Monkey Island/Prefs.json"
- add this line:
renderer: "opengl"

I hope this helps!
Thx man! The config entry in the Prefs.json solves the problem.

Yes indeed i have a Intel GPU like mentioned in the thread. I think GL graphic for this game is more than sufficent, we dont need Vulkan, but it would be nice if Terrible Toybox fix the obvious issue...
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have been waiting patiently and preparing an old notebook from 2009 for me and our daughter to play this on: Installed 64-Bit lubuntu, bought more RAM into it, waited for GOG DRM-free version and then ... black screen because of Vulkan incompatibility, I thought.

Which felt ridiculous since a 2D game should run on pretty much anything, right?

Now, on December 1, exactly 8 months after the initial announcement on April 1, I read - by chance - about this one line to force OpenGL instead.

I am very happy indeed. :-)

Similar sounding problem (Ubuntu/Wine black screen). Solution worked for me too :)

Thanks!
Hi !
Thank you too. I had that problem with Radeon R7 too. Using this workaround the game works.
Yet it is a bug. Terrible Toybox should patch it.
