The Long Dark, a pretty decent game that has both a story mode and a fully fledged survival mode just got a huge update.
Firstly, for those who felt the story mode was a bit too linear—they've listened. They're reworking the first two episodes to be more open, to fit in with the third unreleased episode which they said was going to be more open anyway.
Before that though, we have today's "VIGILANT FLAME" update, more details in this video:

Full update notes here.
I'm definitely going to be diving into the survival mode again this weekend, I just hope a pack of wolves doesn't chase me into an abandoned vehicle like last time—fricken wolves!
If it sounds good to you, pick it up on Humble Store, GOG or Steam.

Quoting: buono@shmerl try these launch options
LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 %command%
and libsdl2 ... :)
I'm using GOG version, and that suggestion is for Steam one. Do you know what actual SDL version is used in the Steam runtime? I can try finding the same one.

OK, I was able to launch the game by replacing the bundled SDL with libSDL2-2.0.so.0.4.0.
For Debian, you can get it here:
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/libsdl2/2.0.4%2Bdfsg2-1/#libsdl2-2.0-0_2.0.4:2b:dfsg2-1
But I get no sound in the game.

Quoting: buonoDoes that package include the 32bit libraries as well?
Yes.

The only other thing I can think of then is to try the 32bit version of the game, the executable is in the same directory in the steam version. Hopefully the same for you. I hope it works because it is a great game. I have lost far too many hours in it. Currently it is running well for me except for an annoying graphical glitch sometimes when moving the camera.

Played for a couple of hours tonight. The game and sound works but do still get errors in /tmp/dumps/...stdout.txt
along the lines of
AK Error: Plug-in not registered: 8912899
AK Error: Could not allocate effect: 8912899
I think some of the sound banks are missing in
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/TheLongDark/tld_Data/StreamingAssets/Audio/GeneratedSoundBanks/Linux/
I am guessing this would refer to 8912899.wem that isnt there. Verified game files in steam and all okay. So maybe these were obsolete sounds or effects.

I like the game play improvements, only wish for realistic graphics rather than the artsy look, if that were ever made possible in the game (choosing realistic over artsy); I'd put more hours into this game.
