As the weekend is upon us, it is probably time for another bit of gaming fun. This time I’ve snapped http://flarerpg.org/ - a free 2D action RPG in a similar style to the early Diablo games.
To install:
sudo snap install flare-rpg
Due to a bug which is fixed upstream, audio will not work until you manually type:
sudo snap connect flare-rpg:process-control
Please try this on your machine, and let me know if it works on your particular hardware. I’m keen to know about your graphics card/drivers etc.
Cheers and enjoy!

Thanks so much for doing this.
Worked here on my Intel based 16.04 KDE Neon machine.

You mean this is fixed in their master
or something? Could we have master
as an edge
build maybe?
It’s a snapd bug, which is fixed and will trickle down to us eventually.

yay! thanks! i don’t haz to compile the game anymore X-) . seems to work on 16.04 intel
That sounds unpleasant. I haven’t a clue how to start debugging that. Do other snaps run well on your machine?
Not every snap, chromium (no H/W Acceleration)… PPSSPP didn’t work same stack error, VLC also didn’t work for me…

Interesting. Do you have a file called ~/snap/flare-rpg/current/.config/flare/settings.txt
? If so, can you try changing hwsurface
to 0
?

You can try beta/edge version of core, i had issue with spotify on stable.
snap refresh core --channel=beta
or
snap refresh core --channel=edge
and retest if game will run
No luck tried both channel
Do any of the other SDL games I have in the store work for you (boa
or talesofmajeyal
)?
@zyga-snapd may know what to do since this is snappy on Arch?
OK, so it looks like it might be an issue with snaps on your distro. I’m afraid I’m not clever enough to be able to guide you on how to fix this.
Thanks for the help though
