Update

Support added for new installer:

fury_jin reported an issue on Elementary OS (based on Ubuntu 18.04): source

I did a quick check to see if I can reproduce the Elementary OS WINE issue on my Debian, but no luck so far. The game works fine as soon as I install it, with no tweak needed.

The error message is strange, as this game is a 32-bit application so there should not be any issue with its WINE prefix not providing support for 64-bit applications.

fury_jin, could you give me the return of the following commands, so that I can better understand your setup?

I am running Elementary OS under Virtual box.

You are currently missing the 32-bit version of WINE, you should be able to get it from the following command: Once it is installed, it might be enough to be able to run the game.

here is what i use :

sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt install wine32:i386

And the game is kind of working... i don't have the shortcut in the game menu, i must launch it from usr/local/game/tinybang.sh

And my session is locked, i can't use my password anymore :-(
This is why i use VM before installing the game on PC with elementary as primary OS.

I will try again with a clean OS install.
Thx

This is strange that wine32:i386 was missing, as it should have been installed as a dependency of the generated packages. Do you remember what you used to install the .deb packages? Was it `dpkg`, `apt`, or something else?

The missing menu entry might be specific to your desktop environment, it seems that some need to be relaunched before picking up new applications. Do you know which desktop environment is provided by Elementary OS?

The issue with the session password can not be related to the use of the ./play.it script, it doesn’t change anything to the user accounts system. It doesn’t even access anything with root permissions, that’s why you have to install the generated packages by yourself ;)

I used dpkg -i to insall the generated .deb. But the script create 2.deb one of 180mb and the other of 4mb.

But i don't remember if i install the small one...

The elementary desktop environnement is Pantheon .

But now i am struggling with some shared clipboard problems on my new VM.

That might be the source of the missing wine32:i386, the ./play.it process should end by giving you a command similar to this one to install the packages: This command ensure all dependencies are automatically installed.

The alternative with `dpkg` is provided only for very old Debian-based distributions where `apt` can not be used to install .deb packages:

Yeah Tiny bang is working !

sudo apt-get install fakeroot icoutils imagemagick

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:arx/release
sudo apt-get install innoextract

Go into the game folder with the scripts:

sh play-the-tiny-bang-story.sh

apt install /home/elem/Documents/the-tiny-bang-story_1.0-gog23028+20180911.1_i386.deb /home/elem/Documents/the-tiny-bang-story-data_1.0-gog23028+20180911.1_all.deb

When i used the shortcut in the application menu, i got the game's icon in the dock but then it disapear after a few seconds. Then i type the-tiny-bang-story into the terminal, i saw a little wine window (4s) and the game start.

But i don't know if i cloud have the same behaviour with the shortcut.
So now it is working with the short cut.
Thanks

Have fun ;)
