Won't run out of the box because the user needs r/w permissions for the entire installation directory for this to work.

Simplest solution is to just:

sudo chown -R $USER /opt/Flashpoint/

And make yourself the owner of the directory. This will also solve some other problems you would have when running the app (like wine not working) so it's more or less necessary to do this.

I also had a problem where on the first run I cannot run this in native wayland, I must force it to run on xwayland instead, but only the first time.

Easiest way to do that is to just launch it that first time like this:

ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11 flashpoint-launcher

But you could alternatively edit the startup script at /opt/Flashpoint/start-flashpoint.sh and set the --ozone-platform-hint=x11 from auto in there.

Please don't shame others, rather post the fixed PKGBUILD and/or adopt the package.

So it looks like this package has just been straight up broken for over a year. Pity...

@dillard I've changed the build step as upstream's : npm run release, and there was something wrong with my network, so I don't know the real reason. I've met the same problem as you.

I chmod-ed /opt/flashpoint-launcher to be 755 then launched the application. With no other configuration, I see "Total: -1" on the bottom right and any attempt to search for games results in an infinite loading screen. I changed Flashpoint Path in the config section to be /opt/flashpoint-launcher, but this didn't change anything. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

-> could not find all required packages: flashpoint

Make sure after installing this package that you run the command "flashpoint" without sudo/root permissions. You can do this if flashpoint does not show up in your app launcher/apps.

Side note: If running flashpoint gives you something like /opt/flashpoint/xxx is denied, you have to run your file manager as sudo then nagivate to the /opt/flashpoint folder and change all the READ & WRITE permissions to your username instead of root. You could also run "sudo flashpoint", but I have not tried this.

@DumbInACan I'm in China,and there was always a problem that I can't visit github normally.So I've tried to use npm/pnpm/yarn to build the package.Finally,the mirror of yarn seems to be good,so I've changed the builder to yarn.The below code was what I've run in the terminal.And everything got well.
