KayOhtie comments on Running older Linux-native games on modern systems

I'm trying to run OneShot on Linux, Debian 14 testing to be precise (wow, it's been years... last played 2022, apparently).

It won't run though. Might be because the included libraries are too old? But if I try renaming them and using system ones, it still breaks?

Error creating window: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

This still happens if we use the Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout).

Anyone got ideas?

(Yes, I could just use Proton, but Oneshot does some fourth-wall-breaking stuff and I'd like that to work.)

@forestbeasts There's also the Legacy Runtime, that's still native to Linux. I have to do that for some things instead of the 'Scout' or normal one.

Tried that, didn't really help... but I got it working! Steam forums for the game turned out to be helpful. https://steamcommunity.com/app/420530/discussions/1/600766503721121457/, PrototypeDelta's list of libraries to move out of the way seems to work.
