I had problem starting "Beyond a Steel Sky" after install it exited with error code:1

It's linux native GOG game and it turns out that the installer doesn't run the support/postinst.sh script and that's why it doesn't start. It's an Unreal Engine 4 game and needs to run the postinst.sh to install .pak.splitXX files otherwise the game won't start. After running the postinst.sh script the game works as it should.

by "works as it should" do you mean you are able to launch it from heroic now?

I’m seeing a lot more posts regarding this game. I think the heroic people should buy this game and do a play test and see what’s happening here.
