Reporting a pre-game bug

Conquer Chess has bugs that happen before the game even starts.

This page describes:

  • 1. Check you've used the correct launcher
  • 2. See the error

1. Check you launch with 'Legacy runtime 1.0'

These should be your Conquer Chess properties:

Legact runtime 1.0 is selected

To do so, read how to select the right Steam launcher.

2. See the error

To see the error, run the game from a terminal.

Go to the Conquer Chess folder. There are two options, depending on how you installed Steam

How Steam was installed How to go to the Conquer Chess folder
Via apt cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/conquer_chess
Via snap cd ~/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/conquer_chess

In that folder, run Conquer Chess:

./conquer_chess

This will produce an message.

If you see an error similar to the one below, read how to install the needed libraries.

./conquer_chess: error while loading shared libraries: libsfml-graphics.so.2.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If that fails, or you see another error message, please create an issue which includes the error message.

Users that submit a proper bug report will be acknowledged.
