  • Nuclear Throne - Indiebox Edition - YoYo Games - Fatal Error
Nuclear Throne - Indiebox Edition - YoYo Games - Fatal Error
Mezron Sep 4, 2017
Anyone got this game? Did anyone try getting it up and running from the Linux install USB inside the box? The box comes with a Steam key but I would rather not use that and get it working via the Linux native install inside the USB. It's not working and I am getting this error.

Failed to load the game
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I thought it was a permission issue but I 777 all of the files and yet it still does not run.

I was lead to this thread on Steam - https://steamcommunity.com/app/209190/discussions/0/810923580565231302/ but none of this assisted me. Seems like Fedora users having issue with YoYo Gamermaker games have solved their issues by installing a package labeled xorg-x11-fonts-misc but there is no such package available on Ubuntu.

I'm on Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3 LTS 64

A shot in the dark, but Game Maker often has problem with gamepads. It seems you have one attached, unplug it and try again and see what happens. All about process of elimination :)

I would also see what happens with the Steam version, if it works, then it may be a library issue with the DRM free copy.

Thanks. I tried the gamepad one still no dice. I also installed it on my gaming laptop and tested it no gamepad and no dice.

I emailed both indiebox and Vambleer hoping that I can switch my steam key for an itch.io or GoG key. So I don't want to use Steam, at this time. I'm pretty sure that it's a missing dll or something that they failed to pack. I even tried Wine with the Windows version that is on the USB *Big no no in this house* and it worked but with no sound and gamepad support.

This is my 2nd Indiebox and it's been a bust both time. This is actually their attempt to fix the first box since 'Banner Saga' shipped with a Windows only DVD with Linux & Mac only usable via a Steam key....which is not why I decided to support them - I wanted to start collecting Linux boxed games with my kids.

The only plus side here is that my kids loved the toys and stickers that came with this box. I kept 2 stickers for my laptop and they took all the rest.

I wanted to try this game out since we got it on Friday but going to need to wait til they get back to me probably tomorrow or later.

Thanks for the assist!

Update - Got some support today.

The game was missing 1 file - the splash page.

There is still an issue when the game starts out it's fullscreen with a tiny game window in the left bottom corner.

Here is a link if anyone is interested - https://s26.postimg.org/j8qdyj8sp/Screenshot_at_2017-09-05_18_39_52.png

I've seen this happen before with some freeware gamemaker studio games but I don't remember resolving it outside of pressing F11 to go into window mode then pressing F11 again to get it back into fullscreen properly. Which works here but this is going to be nusience since this game was going to be in my HTPC for the most part.

As a bonus, if someone helps me with this I will gladly pass you the Steam key or the PS4 key to the game if you like.

Hey, I'm running into the exact same issue with the same error. I see the splash file but maybe I'm missing something. You're link is dead so I'm wondering if there's something else that I'm missing.

I solved it by using Lutris to install it.

Finally found the issue, thanks to https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues/11: The runner file included both in the IndieBox and the itch.io Linux versions is simply broken. A working replacement executable (seemingly from the Steam version) is provided in the ticket.

Excellent. Unfortunely, since this post I upgraded to 20.04 and I'm not getting "libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error and any install of it does not seem to take.
Iggi Feb 4, 2021
I'm not using Ubuntu, but from what I can see Ubuntu 20.04 does not provide that old version of the library any more. Also be aware that the game is a 32 bit application, so you will also need the i386 version of the library.

In other words: Download https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386/libssl1.0.0/download, extract the .so file into the game's installation directory and start it with something like LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./runner

That worked. Thank you very much!
