Issues fixed
Not Launching In Linux[3]
|
- FarSky claims to require a Java Runtime Environment(JRE) of 1.6. However, installing 1.8 has shown to be just as effective.
- FarSky has also shown itself to not work with some newer JRE versions. So you may find yourself installing several different older versions before you can find one that works.
- The following may differ depending on your Linux distribution and what version of JRE you want to try. So these commands are more of a guideline than a future-proof solution.
- Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
- Run FarSky from Steam
- Click "Options"
- Set the value for "Change Java Path" to:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
- Click OK, then Play
If it immediately exits without running the game, then either you will need to try a different version of Java or the path you gave it was invalid.
- If you need help finding a valid path, then open a terminal and type:
find / -iname *java*jdk* 2>/dev/null That will help guide you to finding a valid path.
If the game runs, then it was a success. To make the change permanent, follow the instructions above for Skipping The Launcher, but change the third line from XMODIFIERS= java \ to XMODIFIERS=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java \ or whatever value you gave it for "Change Java Path".
