Game will open on two seconds then it will close it self.
I have Ubuntu(linux) 13.10 and I use game 0.8.8.

Hi, thanks for the report. If you try to start the game from console, does it write anything?

I managed to reproduce.
When running from terminal, I get this:
Code: Select all

You should place the config files on ~/.config by the way.

Alright, after some checking I found:
- The directory it's trying to access doesn't exist.
- After creating the directory and the file (empty) the game crashed one more time (Telling me it's probably out of memory, the setting was changed to lower, and that I should try again)
- After trying again the game runs.
Haven't tried playing it yet, so not sure of any side effects. But yeah, managed to run the game.

This looks like there is not enough graphics memory.
Try creating the file config.ini and turn on the low-graphics option in the graphics section:

Yeah the game runs for me well now (after creating the file empty and letting the game change it to low-graphic settings).
However, why didn't the game create the directory/file itself if it's missing it? Or perhaps include it in the package?

That's a bug. We can't include the file in the package, because not everyone has it in the same location.
Anyway, if someone else encounters this thread, we will be continuing in the bug reports section:
