No work on Linux (White screen)

[dj--alex]

Hello
ArcoMage HD Setup 1.0.0.exe wont run on Linux.

I dont like compiling, just want to play without browser.
Using Linux Mint 19.3 kernel 5.12
Using Videocard Radeon Vega 8 (Ryzen 3200G cpu) (has a problems with Vulkan rendering)
Alternative game tribute has 25mb version without sources but works perfect
Why your version shows White screen?

Hi.

It is recommended user go to arcomage.github.io and play it in a browser, preferably Google Chrome/Chromium. (I can see you use Vivaldi, this Blink and V8 based browser should have the similar performance as Chrome)

If for some reason you want to play without browser, there's the Desktop version. But unfortunately, ArcoMage HD Setup 1.0.0.exe is Windows-only version. (.exe files are Windows-only files and cannot run on Linux). Only Windows version exists for now. I'll make and release Linux version later. (#3)

ArcoMage HD is written in JavaScript (TypeScript) and is therefore designed to run in browser. To make a stand-alone, "without-browser" version, I have to use Electron. (Discord and Skype's Desktop apps, and Visual Studio Code are also developed with Electron) Electron is like an entire Chrome browser packed with the application, so, the final production files will easily exceed 100-200MB.

In any case, you don't need to compile sources.

Two Russian versions exist:

https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd/blob/main/tools/ocr/original/ru.png

@TombOfVARN thought these two versions are not perfect, he improved both of them in his Russian localization (https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd/blob/main/src/i18n/cards/ru.ts)

If you feel there's the need to have another version then OK, go ahead. But maybe discuss with @TombOfVARN to find out if we really need to have a second Russian version. You can join Might and Magic Discord server http://discord.gg/tBj4qF5 , me (Tom Chen) and @TombOfVARN (rayburn) are in it.

I guess I can close this issue

Linux app refers to issue #3 which is kind of stalled but will be done in the future
