Ok, it's really weird to me that there is no comprehensive information/guide on how to launch this game on linux. I searched for a very long time on how to start it, I tried so many packages, so many OpenJDK distribtuions, but none of them worked, the game just crashed with obscure error messages. And the funniest thing, that none of those things were needed, everything is very easy. So I'll write the guide here, so other people wouldn't struggle like I did :/

You must be registered to see the links
for appropriate architecture. If this link is down for some reason or Oracle requires you to login to download it, tell me please, I'll upload it somewhere and put a link here.Second, you gotta extract the JRE. Just put it in the game folder. Folder
jre1.8.0_SOMETHING
should be near the LilithsThrone_VERSION.jar
file. And that's kinda it. You just start the game with the following command: ./jre1.8.0_371-x64/bin/java -jar LilithsThrone*.jar
. However, you can create a startup script and don't type this stuff in your terminal every time.Third, create a script and call it
start.sh
or whatever you want, just finish it with .sh
extension. Copy and paste this inside of this script:
Bash:
#!/bin/bash
./jre1.8.0_371-x64/bin/java -jar LilithsThrone*.jar
jre1.8.0
path in the script must be same as JRE in your game folder!Fourth, you gotta make the script executable. Either set the executable flag in file's properties or just type in the following command:
chmod +x start.sh
And finally you can play! Just execute the script either via GUI or in terminal with
./start.sh
, while in the game folder.
