I can't play the second level in the demo. I get the error from the screenshot for the second level and the same message but with "market" for the third. After I click OK the game closes. I tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions of the game and it's the same on both. Version 0.12.24 Windows installer.

Edit: It only happens if I try to start the level from the menu as shown. I finished the first level and didn't click "next level" but instead quit. Later I started the game again and this happened. I now tried reloading an autosave from level 1 and finishing it again, selected "next level" and it loaded. But I was stumped for a while and thought I couldn't play. I don't think I should have to continue from a save, selecting from the menu should work.

go to mods and check if Base mod is enabled

I can't find an option for mods. Please see my edit in OP.

I'm playing the demo, perhaps I didn't make that clear enough in OP. The options are Play, Option, About, Exit.

hmm ill take a look 1 sec

It's a bug in the demo: Linux Demo Bug

Including the scenario pack in all releases also included them in the demo, where the entities for the missions are not available (as there are no solar panels in the demo).
