This script fixes the broken startup of Battleblock Theater under Linux. Tested with ubuntu 18.04
simply start fix_battleblock_theater_on_ubuntu_linux_18.04.sh.
./fix_battleblock_theater_on_ubuntu_linux_18.04.sh
The script assumes that your game is installed under the default location. If the game is installed somewhere else, change BATTLEBLOCK_BIN at the start of the script.
The script does the following:
- installs the missing libopenal library. This fixes this error:
/tools/linux/runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/lib:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/usr/lib::.
End LD_LIBRARY_PATH\n
