Running older Linux-native games on modern systems - Pawb.Social

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.) – Frost

The OG OneShot Linux port is known to be extremely broken since it was really poorly developed. Even after applying a fix to get it to boot, it relies on old standards to do things like changing your wallpaper, so those features often won’t work.

I’d highly suggest getting OneShot Wold Machine Edition which a remake/remaster of the original which takes place in a fake PC with a fake desktop that allows all those features to work in an isolated environment. Doesn’t have a native Linux version, but the dev explicitly tested on Proton to make sure everything worked properly(specifically for the Steam Deck, but same difference).
