If this error was unexpected, please report it on OpenXcom forum or discord.
The following can help us solve the problem:
1. a saved game from just before the crash (helps 98%)
2. a detailed description how to reproduce the crash (helps 80%)
3. a log file (helps 10%)
4. a screenshot of this error message (helps 5%)
meanwhile, if i go int he directory and start in the terminal by typing:

Code: [Select]

./OpenXcomEx
it launches.

There is also a screenshot attached. Any solution please?

you need to specify the working directory too, if that's a thing in linux

so that the game runs in the same directory as where the executable is located

yes, forgot to add to taht file the following line:

Code: [Select]

Path=/home/mena/OpenXcom/
but it also opens and keep opened also a mini-windows as the screenshot attached. To get the rif of it repplace the tre to false value in

Code: [Select]

Terminal=

[Meridian]

most likely yes, but I'm no linux expert

[xcomfan]

most likely yes, but I'm no linux expert

So do I, but thanks, solved! Lastly, forgot, in oxce 6.4.2.1 if in the file openxcom.cfg the value playIntro is not set to false, game will complain about a GMINTRO01 file not found. It happens only in linux build, just tested.
