[Linux] Multiplayer initialization issue

Multiplayer doesn't work in the game (Steam version). Relevant logs:

An exception was thrown by the type initializer for RakNet.RakNetPINVOKE
Couldn't open /home/abbradar/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Castle Story/resources/app/app/js/../../../../Castle Story_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libRakNet.so, error: /steamrt/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /home/abbradar/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Castle Story/resources/app/app/js/../../../../Castle Story_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libRakNet.so)


This may be because libRakNet is compiled not against Steam Runtime's libraries but against developer's host OS ones.

    Additionally, it'd be nice to use .tar.gz archives instead of .zip in Humble Bundle version of the game, because "Castle Story" binary is not marked as executable (.zips don't support POSIX access rights).

    The Humble Bundle version itself doesn't start:

    Player data archive not found at `/home/shlomo/Downloads/castle_story/Castle Story_Data/data.unity3d`, using local filesystem

    Attached are Player.log and brix.log.

    Hey! Right from the dev team;

    "We have an idea why. This guy's totally right. We're looking into a fix."

    I have no idea what any of this means because I'm a measly communications wizard but it seems like you've managed to somehow formulate words in a way programmers understand it, so I'm happy to play messenger. :D

    Many thanks! Just in case you yourself are interested: this very roughly means that a part of the game is built for the wrong version of the operating system ;)

    About the second issue (in Humble Bundle version): the window appears but starting movies do not show and it just hangs, constantly eating one CPU core. I'll be happy to investigate further if this is not reproducible for you.

    Humble Bundle release works now, thanks! BTW, thanks for using .tar.gz archives now. Two nitpicks:

    1. Please place the game files into a top-level directory in an archive (e.g. "./Castle Story/castlestory-launcher" not "./castlestory-launcher") -- it's usually assumed about .tar.gzs, and it's frustrating to unpack the whole game into your Downloads directory ;)
    2. Not all files are actually needed to be executable (like LICENSE), though it doesn't pose a problem.

    Sorry for being spammy but there's one more issue that I haven't noticed till now: it's not that Humble Bundle release works now, it's that 64-bit version was broken all along (with symptoms described above). 32-bit version works for me.

    Don't worry about being spammy, I'm pinging the concerned devs when you update the thread. :)

    Okay! Then a bit more technical info: I've tried to get a hunch on what hangs in 64-bit Humble Bundle version using a debugger. Here's a stack trace from the relevant thread:

    My first and most likely invalid guess is that sound system gets stuck for some reason and the game hungs with it. It's a mystery why does 32-bit version work though. Finally, if I cast LD_LIBRARY_PATH black magic to use Steam Runtime's libraries the game works! Maybe there's a bug in my host system's libraries.

    Ah, sure. Then some more technical information:

    It seems problem with 64-bit HB version is usual Linux distribution-specific shenanigans; when I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the game to Steam Runtime libraries the game works (sans RakNet). I tried to use GDB to pinpoint where does the thread that eats one CPU core spend most amount of time -- it seems somewhere in libAkSoundEngine.so.

    Anyway, it's likely not a bug at your side now ~_^

    Hey abbradar,

    It should be fix with the release 1.0.1 now!

    Let us know if you still have the issue.

    Yep, I tested that yesterday and was able to see games (haven't yet tested the actual game but don't expect any issues there). Thank you!
