[linux] Many errors and warnings on Flatpak version

[sonejostudios]

Hi all,
fisrt of all thanks you so much to bring this amazing game back to (modern) life!!

Just want to give some feedback from the flatpak version, installed on linux mint 21.3.

I get a lot of warning and errors. At the end, the game crashed when I saved the game.
What about this [Error : Agent] Cannot open DarkPilo.cfg ?
darkpilo.cfg IS in the game data folder and has no right restrictions.
But in ~/.var/app/io.github.theforceengine.tfe/config, DARKPILO.CFG's = 0 bytes

fyi, the same game data is working fine on windows.

[fpiesche]

The newly-updated version on Flathub (which is still listed as 1.09.540 but was built from the 1.10 source!) should hopefully fix this. Could you confirm whether this works now?

[sonejostudios]

Hi @fpiesche

thanks for the update! It is a lot less errors than before, But I still have some while starting a new game.

TFE needs to be made read file names consistently in a case insensitive manner on POSIX systems.

It does that since the first linux port was merged into master.

For now, rename all game data files to upper case only, e.g. DarkPilo.cfg to DARKPILO.CFG, dark.gob to DARK.GOB, an so on. Delete $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/DARKPILO.CFG and things should start working as expected. Once you launch TFE after this procedure everything is going to be saved in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME only as it should.

except for deleting the "darkpilo.cfg" file, this is all completely unnecessary.

[luciusDXL]

I believe this will be fixed on the next Flatpak update, now that the DARKPILO issue is resolved, but I will leave it open until the next version / next flatpak update.

[sonejostudios]

Yeah, after removing the old DARKPILO.CFG, it looks like it works now as expected, awesome!!

For the sake of documentation, here the output while playing level 1 completely:
