Description
Fails to start (Debian or Devuan stable)
Linux
SteamWhat is your game version?
Current as of 2021-03-18Do you have Space Race installed?
YesPlease explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Running the game from a terminal (with Steam configured to open an xterm rather than launch the game so that the environment is correctly set up), I get the following:

./MarsSteam: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./MarsSteam)

The cause is that it is compiled against a newer version of libc6 than is available in Devuan stable or Debian stable.

The fix is to recompile the game on Debian buster or Devuan beowulf rather than on whatever version of (presumably) Ubuntu was used. Now, obviously, I can't do that…

(Ugh. It's required that I attach a file – and that wasn't clear until I clicked on ‘submit’ – but, as I've pasted the error text above, it's pointless…)Can you replicate the issue?
As it's a linkage problem caused by the build environment, it's 100% reproducible.Attachments

    I have found a bug report on this problem, and have linked this thread into it. I'll be following up with my management in Paradox after the Easter break.

    I'm also trying to get the published requirement updated to Ubuntu 18.04
