Desura refuses to play any games

Hello there dear forumers!

I've recently joined Desura to try a few games of their catalog, I built the package from AUR just fine, signed on my account and started to download a couple of games. I tried to launch them but I get this screen, no matter what I do in order to start to play (Cube Metalheart is just an example)

If I hit the Verify Files button, it says that the Verification was succesful...

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Desura refuses to play any games

Hi,

If you read https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/desurium-git/ comments, you'll see that besides desurium not getting movement for a long while, there was supposed to exist a new client, called desura-app. Search for that, and you could have found http://www.desura.com/news/desura-app-update, in which you can find this new desura-app didn't get released for Linux.

I wouldn't expect support on Desura, and apps for it. I stopped using it, and to be honest I bought a few games there. A bit dissapointed at them. But I digress.

You can try and launch the game manually from a terminal, if you haven't already, see if that works.
