Hello, I have found a bug with tower unite resulting in the game failing to install under Linux. Different Linux versions have been tried on different drives. [Ubuntu, Debian, and arch] All of the exhibit the same behavior. The game runs fine under Windows. Upon trying to install the game it finishes in under 2 seconds and only installs the following files in the install directory. > tree ‘Tower Unite’ > Tower Unite > ├── EmptySteamDepot > └── Tower > └── ClientPlayerData2 > ├── HotBar.dat > ├── shared.dat > └── Wearables.dat 3 directories, 3 files Attempting to start the game gives the following error. An error occurred while updating Tower Unite (missing executable): /home/david/.local/share/steamapps/common/Tower Unite/Tower/Binaries/Linux/Tower-Linux-Shipping Here is a video demo of what happens during the install process. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHPK-J8Dklo) Attempting to validate game cache says that all files successfully validated. The result is repeatable under clean installs of Debian and Ubuntu. I have tested installing to diffrent directory paths and different mounted hard drives and solid state disks. As this is linux there is no antivirus to get in the way and i do not utilize selinux on my personal work stations. Thanks! ---
