@fabis_cafe It turns out I didn't have vulkan installed lol, I guess it was just using opengl the other times. I installed it and it worked, thanks!

@SmailBarkouch looks like it tries for some reason to load the vulkan engine without having any vulkan device around. Try

PROClient -force-opengl

That should force opengl path.

Does your PC support vulkan? If not thats clearly a bug and you should try to report it.

If openGL works for you, you can create a new desktop file

~/.local/share/applications/net.pokemonrevolution1.desktop

with the content

When I try to launch the game, it keeps crashing before the window opens. When I ran the script directly I got view some info:

@fuzzbop I'm on it already. It'll still take a while, since I want to rewrite it a bit and change my data set. (and have a birthday party today :P) I'll hurry up to have it out this weekend. :)

There is a linux version again. please update!

PRO does not offer any linux client anymore. the old one will not work. So for now there is nothing to do.

I think about the idea to give up this pkgbuild and start to build a flatpak for it. Still not sure about that move. What do you think?
