Title: No Installation Found Ubuntu
Post by: karatewalrus on February 19, 2020, 11:28:41 pm

Hey there, I appreciate all the devs hard work on this game. I'm trying to install it on linux. I downloaded it, ran it, and it's looking for the game files.

As per the error message, I tried adding game data in usr/share/openxcom/
then I guessed maybe it should be in the 'data' folder so I created that, and that didn't work either. usr/share/openxcom/data still didn't allow the game to find the installation.
