Graphical Issues on NVIDIA on Linux - Workaround

[Admin]

Dear players of The Long Dark on NVIDIA on Linux:

Unfortunately, the latest version of Unity (used in the Redux version of The Long Dark) introduces graphical corruption issues when played using NVIDIA video cards. Fortunately, there is a workaround that may address these issues for you by forcing the game into OpenGL 4.2.

To do this:

• Right click on The Long Dark in your Steam Library
• Select Properties
• Select Set Launch Options
• Paste the following in the resulting text box: -force-glcore42 -force-clamped

We’ll continue working with Unity to resolve the issue with a proper fix, but until then this work-around should allow you to play the game.

Thanks, worked nicely. No more booting into Windows to play

This issue seems to have been taken care of by Unity ("Fixed in Unity 2019.1 " - source)

let's wait for a new build

That's great news! I look forward to seeing that one come out.

If you have the GOG version, you can write a quick bash script:

#!/bin/bash
***path to TLD***/tld.x86_64 -force-glcore42 -force-clamped

Call it whatever, set it executable, and yer good.
