Can't launch GOG Linux Dark Forces build
Star Wars: Dark Forces won't launch due to a missing
libFLAC.so.8. This version is included in the Steam Runtime, apparently, but even selecting "Use Steam Runtime" doesn't affect this. https://0x0.st/8dst.log7 Replies

The softlink workaround doesn't seem to help, I'm assuming since I'm in running a flatpak.

since this game was never released on linux, i'd assume the gog linux build has some weird wine wrapper
i'd just play the windows one
"windows" heh
the problem with linux builds of games, especially old ones, is you can end up in a situation where the dependencies arent met.

It's a DOSbox wrapper.
But yeah, old build of DOSbox. 🙃
Unfortunately, the Windows version will launch once and then not again.

Post logs then
Also iirc heroic can manage using system dosbox? So that might help

Log linked from OP.
I'll look into system dosbox.

I mean new logs from your windows run
Not logs from the linux native run

Ahh, sorry, misunderstood. Well, now that I'm trying to get it to fail, it succeeds but runs poorly. I tried following the instructions to use the DOSBox flatpak, but that seems to not be kicking in. Ahh well. I can try to run it manually using DOSBox.
