The windows version works so far what I just checked, but Linux is def broken.

I already knew about all the ppl saying the Linux versions on all 3 games didnt work or at best required a lot of workaronds.
I decided to finally give it a try myself b/c I really like the look of them and been wanting to play them for ages, and it was just on discount again.

I bought Shadowrun Returns and must sadly also join the Broken Souls Club.

The Linux version isnt valid, its not a game executable file.

At the very least this should be on information on the store page untill its properly sorted out b/c u get an awful amount of reports on this and some ppl only.

HOWEVER the windows version worked for me, at least for now what little I just checked to try.
So it can be run hopefully that way for most.

I have tried all Linux options in both Heroic and Lutris, and deafult wine, and also made sure to install the lib32-glu that GOG mentions on Lutris install page. Ive restarted, reinstalled.
Nothing works, none of the .sh or shadowrun files are a game file, it doesnt work.
So I really do think they are completely broken.
It is not just a GOG issue either, I have the Hong Kong Steam version and never got that one running either.
I have also tried various options in the settings, such as using game libs.

At least this Shadowrun Returns game I just bought seem to work via wine but would obv prefer a native:D

Anyway. FOR NARNIA!

Here is my Heroic log report in case devs are interested in fixing the world... I mean their Linux version:

I was able to get Hong Kong to work. Like has been said in a few of the other threads run the SRHK.sh script rather than the start.sh script. It is in

GOG Games/Shadowrun Hong Kong Extended Edition/game

I also needed to have libglu1-mesa:i386 installed.

After I did that is has been working well.

Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall work out of the box on debian trixie but I do have the I386 libraries loaded as well as libglu1-mesa:i386 which i loaded separately.

If you need help let me know.

Hi, ty for reply!

I alr tried both -sh files yes, but none of them worked:(
I just reinstalled Returns and tried again, and its not working ;(
I alr have the multilib/lib32-glu installed, but the one u mention isnt in aur/pacman, but I think it should alr be within that first multilib one?

I also have these 2 glu libs installed alr:

2 extra/freeglut 3.6.0-2 (104.1 KiB 349.1 KiB) (Installed)
Free OpenGL Utility Toolkit
1 extra/glu 9.0.3-2 (152.2 KiB 363.0 KiB) (Installed)
Mesa OpenGL utility library


This is the log from Heroic when I try, it just shuts down:

Did you try just running the executable rather than the script?

If you are not sure what that means go this directory

GOG Games/Shadowrun Returns/game

open a terminal there and type the following making sure the "S" is uppercase.

./Shadowrun

Note any errors if it doesn't start.

duuuude ty...

Everyone keep mentioning the .sh file and this is also what Heroic and Lutris automatically goes with on install. I have tried both .sh files none of the worked but that other weird one works fine omg what.
I dont evn have to do it through terminal, just regulr double clicking it works :P

It doesnt look like some of the other native executables I normally have so I honestly didnt think it was a file to be run!

Will give it a prober play soon, and then check if this is the same for my old steam version of Hong Kong too, or if this only works for Returns.

Thx a lot!
I swear I tried a million things with those other files and launchers never look twice on this one u mentioned so ;(

-Edit to update that the Hong Kong version of this def dont work, it just keeps shutting down and I know I have tried jsut about everything for those b4.
But, I will try to purchase the GOG version of it and check if that does it, so far I only have the steam version of that one and never got it working;(
