Linux: Higurashi with GNOME Desktop/Ubuntu Crashes - CLICK TO EXPAND
GNOME Desktop (the default on Ubuntu) may cause Higurashi Ep.4 and upwards to crash the entire desktop when you start the game.
We've had varying reports - Ubuntu 19.10 with GNOME 3.34.2. seems to work (except for a crash in Tatarigoroshi on first startup). But previously we've had crash reports from anyone using GNOME. This happens even on the base game (without any mods applied).
If you have this issue, a workaround is to install XFCE desktop. You can follow this guide to install XFCE desktop (it can be installed alongside GNOME).
Please make sure you can launch the base game before applying any mods (please don't make any saves on the base game as they are not compatible with the mod).
Troubleshooting
- If you are having installer trouble, or the game does not run properly, follow the Support Checklist to solve your problem
Important Changes
- Add "Run from temporary folder" option to Windows Launcher, for users who have trouble running the installer from a "normal" folder.
57649f5 2fa9e76 8ff8a96 c0ddea6- This mode might also help users with permission errors during initial installer extraction
- Temporary folder is deleted when install exists, so partial downloads will not persist after a restart of the installer in this mode
- Fix CURL fallback not failing on 404 and other errors: ca9741c
- Always extract installer (to avoid possible errors where files in the install folder are modified/deleted) f5f5e4a
- Previous behavior was to only re-extract installer if a newer (or older) installer was detected, otherwise run whatever is already in the
07th-mod_installer
folder without re-extracting
- Previous behavior was to only re-extract installer if a newer (or older) installer was detected, otherwise run whatever is already in the
