After some months without playing because i just had no time, I can't start the game anymore.

system
openSUSE 15
Linux 4.12.14-lp150.12.70-default #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 07:03:51 UTC 2019 (3643f11) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

nvidia GeForce 750 Ti
Nvidia driver 435.21​

*) starting the game from steam ends in the game launcher window popping up for 2 seconds and than it just disappears without starting the game

*) starting the game launcher from commandline starts at least the launcher but the game start from the launcher fails anyways

+) starting the game binary directly gives this error:

I had also an issue with EU IV after the recent update and the solution for that was adding
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libc.so %command%
to the commandline in Steam; i tried this for imperator and at least the launcher opens with that option but starting the game from the launcher still fails.
 
Ok, if it really requires version 7 of libc++ i will have to upgrade my openSUSE to 15.1. I planned to do this anyways, just had no time for it.
I'll reply after a try under 15.1 with libc++ vers. 7.

But for the next updates i would really appreciate an advice/warning when the developers decide to change the version of such system relevant libraries and should be changed only if really necessary.
 
As the game is only supported on Ubuntu, such warnings would only come if that distro was so affected, I guess.
 
I fear this one is beyond me, I am sorry. Again, how can the game not find a library that is right there!

Can you seek some specialised help from openSuSE sources to help you diagnose how and why that is in this case?
 
I have the same problem I guess on
Manjaro Linux KERNEL: 5.4.24-1-MANJARO GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 440.64
at first the game didnt start at all
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then I found out in other forums that it could help to install gconf(I guess thats where thouse libgconf-2.so4 stuff is contained in) on Manjaro its
Code:
sudo pacman -S gconf
now I can launch the launcher but if I start the game from there the launcher closes and the games does not start.
If I run it in a terminal this is the last thing that is printed out
Code:
Running ./imperator in /my/path/Games/imperator-rome/game/binaries with the following arguments: -gdpr-compliant
Since I have read that there are also some issues that might be Steam or Steam overlay related I brought the game on GOG on refunded it on Steam but also with the standalone GOG version I couldnt launch the game.
