Game Brütal Legends not working libGLU.so.1 librarie missing

I downloaded the Linux version of the game from Itch.io, launching it via terminal gives me this error
./Buddha.bin.x86
./Buddha.bin.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./Buddha.bin.x86
./Buddha.bin.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Solution:
I tried so many paths I don't really wanna try that anymore I now told steam to create a desktop shortcut for the game and in that shortcut is a id for the game that actually works when I put it in lutris

Hi! For this, it's recommended you instead play the Windows version, as this will likely work more reliably. Linux ports have an unfortunate tendency to break due to their dependencies not being updated or outright removed, so playing the Windows version is arguably the easiest and most straight forward method

dose steam linux runtime not have all the dependencys? can I not tell the game to use that somehow?

Hm, unsure - could be worth a try if you really want to, but the easiest and most straight-forward solution would be to play the Windows version.

if I add it to steam and select steam linux runtime in the compatibility setting it works but I kinda wanna have it in Lutris not in steam do you know how I can get Lutris to open the game with the steam linux runtime libarys?

I believe you can do this by using the Steam runner in Lutris

So I would have it in steam and lutris launches the steam one?
Comrade Kiwi

Haven't tried it myself, so not sure! But from what I understand, it launches the game using the Steam Runtime Container - not sure if that means you'll get things like the Steam Overlay and the like, but worth giving a try

So I should set runner to steam? what do I input for the app id?
Comrade Kiwi

Hm, not sure, lemme test this out myself real quick Right, my mistake - the Steam Runner is specifically for running games installed via Steam, not for using the Steam Linux Runtime Perhaps try adding the game to Lutris, using the Linux Native runner, and see if that works

also worth trying without the Lutris Runtime on

its already in there like that I installed it directly in lutris via the itch integration disableing this did not help

At this point, I would either recommend be content playing it through Steam, downloading and playing the Windows version, or, if you really want to only have it run through Lutris, be prepared to fiddle with the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environment variable for the game

You can also just use distrobox for this Make an older box like a Debian one Install whatever dependencies it needs And then run it through that box

That's another alternative, but arguably more effort than it might be worth - still, there are plenty of options

I tired that variable but I cannot get it to work
Comrade Kiwi

You'd need to point it to the Steam Linux Runtime location. By default this should be ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime That may or may not work, I haven't tested it myself
