Ultra App Kit Does not Start at all

[Azure_Zero]

Hey

I've been a backer for all of the Leadwerks/Ultra App Kit Kickstarter projects, but I've not gotten this to even start in steam on Linux or in Windows.

As this is a near perfect UI builder for a new company project, I'll be involved in. I am looking into using it, but if it doesn't start, it is hard to evaluate or even use it.

My two systems I tried to run Ultra App Kit on are a Win7 system, and a Linux system with Zorin OS 15 ( Ubuntu 18.04 LTS based) and it does not start in either, and I am using the Steam versions. So I've even tried getting it to run in Linux via Proton and Steam Linux Run times that Valve offers as compatibility tools for running programs in Linux.

Is there any way to launch this from the terminal so you can see what the printed output is? Maybe there is an error that will be listed.

[Azure_Zero]

I've run it in the Linux terminal using the command

steam steam://rungameid/{YourGameID}

or with the Ultra App code filled in

steam steam://rungameid/1512210

and got:

steam steam://rungameid/1512210

Hey Josh can I get the names of the Distros you tested Ultra App Kit on, and I'll give them a try in a VM.

[Josh]

Ubuntu 20.04.

[Azure_Zero]

Runs on the Ubuntu 20.04 based Zorin 16, it might be good to mention Ubuntu 20.04 in the system requirements on the steam store.

[Josh]

The system requirements are really minimal. It hardly uses anything at all beside X11.

Didn't 18.04 try to make Wayland default? Only thing I can think of and that might have been for a beta.

 

[aiaf]

Yeah wayland  is here to stay most large distro have it  debian 11, ubuntu 21.04, fedora 34 , opensuse.

But no need to bother about it , has the X compatibility in it.

[reepblue]

I recall some X apps not working under Wayland. Hopefully this has been fixed.
