Snapshot can't find game data (Linux)

Post by kreeo_ »

I am trying to get a new install of mx sim up and running on linux (bazzite), and i can get the original mx executable (version 1.13) to run but am unable to get the snapshot to run.

I have moved the snapshot into the install directory and renamed it "mx" and renamed the original "mx1" and when I try to run the snap shot using the ./mx command, I get a "Problem starting MX Simulator: Can't find game data" error. I can still run the original using ./mx1 command though.

"mx" is just a shell script that runs "mxbin" after setting an environment variable.

Copy the snapshot over "mxbin", make sure it's executable (chmod +x mxbin), and then rename "mx1" back to "mx".
