Hello @starwort, thanks for letting me know about it being an issue. That line was introduced in the latest update and before it was implemented upstream the script still worked as intended, especially the .desktop file; I intentionally commented it out and tested it, and it appeared to be all fine and dandy, but will take a look and uncomment it if nothing breaks.

I just installed this package and Flashpoint won't start because the last line of start-flashpoint.sh is commented out: #./flashpoint-launcher $FP_FLAGS &
(obviously I've just fixed this in-place but updating the package is probably a good idea :P)

@hmarcelino Works now, don't know if it was reinstalling git and base-devel or turning off tmpfs

@floorpigeon, thanks for letting me know. Once again it dreadfully works on my machine, and also in a fresh installed CachyOS virtual machine, might as well just check if you have git and base-devel installed, then run a yay -Syu and check if that solves it.

Hello @grug_thogson, That problem should not happen since I've changed the patch file for that script, certified works on my machine, hoping you can try it again!

I'm not sure if I've done something wrong, but I haven't changed anything related to this since I installed it last.

This can launch pretty well natively on linux. Why is the .desktop file trying to use WINE?
hmarcelino commented on 2025-11-26 20:07 (UTC)
Hello all! Will surely soon trim down some dependencies from the list, specifically wine which the most recent versions don't seem to work as well as the bundled one. Will also figure out a better place to put the files, as manual sudo commands should not be necessary to be run after every update. If anyone is against the mentioned plans, please let me know, thanks mates!

Just published a new PKGBUILD!
Just remember to run
sudo USER=$USER chown -R $USER /opt/Flashpoint/after installing, it won't work otherwise.If youre having a similar error to this:
Game Server: UNHANDLED EXTERNAL LEGACY ERROR: Get "http://runouw.com/games/sm63/sm63game.swf": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:22600: connect: connection refused, runphp -S 127.0.0.1:22600 /opt/Flashpoint/Legacy/router.phpafter starting Flashpoint. This workaround may be automated in the launch script.
