[Solved] Hi, David. I enjoyed the web version of this game. Now, I want to preorder it. But, when I tried the demo in linux it says error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisfile.so.3 Can you help?
Solution: Here is how to run Aground game on linux (ubuntu) Run the .sh file instead of the binary file. In the command line, run ./Aground.sh
Did you extract all the files in the .zip? libvorbisfile.so.3 should be in the game directory. Also, make sure you run the .sh file, not the executable, as it sets the path to find those libraries.
On the itch.io page, it should have the following instructions right?
Linux: Extract the .zip file and run Aground.sh (you may need to set it's permissions to be executable). If you're running a 64-bit version of Linux, you may also need to install the following libraries: libglu1-mesa:i386, libpulse0:i386.
If I put all the missions into the demo, no one would buy the full version XD. The demo already has a lot of content, 3 islands and 8+ hours, more than most games. It will not get any more islands/content/planets.
New chromebooks can run the linux version of the game (the old ones can run the linux version too, but it's a lot more complex). In any case, an official chromebook port is low on our list and certainly wont be soon if it happens (I'm kind of hoping the linux version ends up working on most/all chromebooks).
Could you give specific instructions how to open the linux file when I go into the folder and click "aground" it says unable to open and there is no app to open this type of file I have enabled developer mode now what? Do you need my model?
idk I've tried everything I couldn't unzip the file I tried unziping it in the linux thing but it said unfound I finnaly tried "install ./Aground.sh" and it said file unsupported I tried moving all the game files to a different folder and installing that but NOTHING works wth more do I have to do.
You don't have to install ./Aground.sh, just run ./Aground.sh, but that works in linux, I'm not sure about chromebooks, and I don't have a chromebook to try it on. The latest chromebook OS does say it supports linux apps, but I don't really know much more than that...
when the game will be free or there will be a week that will be free and then get paid again because I have no money and I already did everything I could do in the demo version :/
The demo will remain free (and has a lot of free content), but the full version will never be free (we have to make enough to keep developing the game somehow).
After defeating the mirrows, you are at the end of the science path in the demo - you'll need to get the full version to get more missions on that path. However, there are side quests and a second path in the demo you can do as well - try completing quests for the alchemist on the starting island to unlock the magic path (try feeding the wyrms in the wyrm pen).
How much will the game cost in the end of 2019 when its supposed to be released in full? Rough estimation is enoug of the price for complete game.
Also is it possible to buy the early access version of the game now, and upgrade it to full version when it comes out, by paying for the difference of two prices?
Because i really like the game and I would like to play it now, but its not worth it if i have to buy full version aswell, for full ammount of money, weather i bought early access or not.
Thank you for your patience, I enjoyed the demo very much.
The Itch.io version includes a steam key, so it doesn't really matter where you buy it (although I get to keep a larger cut if you buy it on itch.io). And for your earlier question, if you buy the early access version, you'll get the full game when it releases (free updates), but if you wait until the full version releases, we will be increasing the price of the game at full launch (so you have to wait for updates if you buy now, but you get a discount for supporting us early).
Hi! I have the game on Steam, but for some reason it keeps glitching and closing. I believe it's a Steam problem, so I was hoping to download a different version without having to pay again by linking my profile. I was wondering if there was a method to do so. Any help would be appreciated.
How frequent are the crashes? Are there any error messages or popups? I would be a little shocked if it was steam that was causing the problem, but you can download the demo here on itch, and if that works and the steam version doesn't, I can help you get the full version in direct messages.
Every time I open the game it crashes. Other version demos work. The last tine I opened the game, it crashed as soon as I chose which save to play. The game doesn't provide an error message, but since I have a MacBook, I get a problem report.
I'm guessing this is your steam profile? https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198849074049 (I noticed you posted on steam too). Make your games public so I can confirm you own Aground on Steam (edit profile, my privacy settings, and set my profile and game details to public), and I'll give you an itch.io copy of the full version. Once I confirm you own the game, you can change your privacy settings back if you'd like.
Alright, I just need a way to send you the key (I don't want to just post it here publicly :P ). Send me an e-mail at david.m@fancyfishgames.com and I'll reply with your key.
Usually sync failures are just a temporary network glitch. If it persists, let me know. If you hit Ctrl+Shift+D, you can get a little more info about the errors.
After trying to sync and failing, hit Ctrl+Shift+D and copy the log (or at least the end of it), it gives info on why the sync failed. My saves seem to be syncing without trouble.
Actually, I think I have an idea. There's a 10 second timeout on syncing... so for really long saves (on slower internet connection) it will time out. I'll up that timeout to 30 seconds.
The page where you got your initial downloads should have the updated version (1.5.1) now. Just go there, and you'll be able to download the update for free (and all future updates too)!
You can't fly the spaceship yet without cheating - that's intentional, as that part of the game isn't done yet. Try syncing now - there was a bug a while back that caused saves that were larger than 1MB to not sync, that should be fixed. I have no clue what you mean with the first problem - it runs in the files but not when you click it?
when I try to click the aground Icon I have on my task bar it says "null object" but if I go into the aground folder and click the one that say aground it works fine. and thank you for fixing the issues, this one isn't that important though. For some odd reason one of my saves won't sync (the first one I made) the rest will though.
So, it'll do that if you change the run start in directory of the shortcut. Right click on the shortcut, click properties, and in the shortcut tab make sure Start in: shows the path to the exe (shown in Target).
It should say 1.4.3b (b is just a few patches/bugfixes from a). You can download the latest version from itch.io if you have the wrong version. The next update should come mid october (but I don't have an exact date set yet).
I found a glitch when taking a boat through the portal (in the ocean) and I accidently jumped out at the last second I could not find the boat anywhere I had to quit and come back to my last save.
Not a glitch - if you leave your boat while it's being sucked into the whirlpool, it'll get sucked in and destroyed and you'll have to build a new boat (or reload).
Updates are not regularly scheduled, but come about once a month. I post updates for each major update, and you can get them here (I think the itch client should auto-update your game as well).
The early access version? It's the _full zip files instead of the _demo, you get access to it when you buy the game, and it includes more content now and all updates (including the full release late next year).
The web version is the same as the demo available here, and includes the first 3 islands (about 8 hours of content). The early access version includes an additional 4 hours of content right now (completing the science path on the first planet), and we plan to update it monthly with new content!
One other person had this problem, and we figured out that it had to do with permissions on their computer. If the game doesn't have permission to access the files, it can't run. Try putting the game in a non-protected folder (and make sure all subfolders extracted are readable), or run the game as administrator.

Hi, David. I enjoyed the web version of this game. Now, I want to preorder it. But, when I tried the demo in linux it says error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisfile.so.3 Can you help?
Solution:
Here is how to run Aground game on linux (ubuntu)
Run the .sh file instead of the binary file.
In the command line, run ./Aground.sh
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by enter linux.
Linux is an operating system, like Windows and Mac. Aground runs on all three of those.
Did you extract all the files in the .zip? libvorbisfile.so.3 should be in the game directory. Also, make sure you run the .sh file, not the executable, as it sets the path to find those libraries.
Thanks. It works. :)
This note should be included in the zip file.
For linux, "Do no run the binary file, but run the .sh file instead"
On the itch.io page, it should have the following instructions right?
Linux: Extract the .zip file and run Aground.sh (you may need to set it's permissions to be executable). If you're running a 64-bit version of Linux, you may also need to install the following libraries: libglu1-mesa:i386, libpulse0:i386.
Are you going to take out the cooperative version in the demo or in the complete version or in both?
The co-op version will be in the complete version only.
Can you add a cooperative multiplayer version for the game?
Co-op multiplayer is on our roadmap for end of august: https://steamcommunity.com/app/876650/discussions/0/1744469130471927220/
If I put all the missions into the demo, no one would buy the full version XD. The demo already has a lot of content, 3 islands and 8+ hours, more than most games. It will not get any more islands/content/planets.
uh Can you possibly make a version for chromebook because (called it) my windows broke and I Really want to try the space update
New chromebooks can run the linux version of the game (the old ones can run the linux version too, but it's a lot more complex). In any case, an official chromebook port is low on our list and certainly wont be soon if it happens (I'm kind of hoping the linux version ends up working on most/all chromebooks).
thnx (now I gotta use developer mode)
Could you give specific instructions how to open the linux file when I go into the folder and click "aground" it says unable to open and there is no app to open this type of file I have enabled developer mode now what? Do you need my model?
I honestly haven't gotten Aground running on a chromebook yet, but try following this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/363331/how-to-set-up-and-use-linux-apps-on-chrome-os/ . If your model supports the new chromebook os, it should work.
idk I've tried everything I couldn't unzip the file I tried unziping it in the linux thing but it said unfound I finnaly tried "install ./Aground.sh" and it said file unsupported I tried moving all the game files to a different folder and installing that but NOTHING works wth more do I have to do.
You don't have to install ./Aground.sh, just run ./Aground.sh, but that works in linux, I'm not sure about chromebooks, and I don't have a chromebook to try it on. The latest chromebook OS does say it supports linux apps, but I don't really know much more than that...
when will the next update be I can't wait to go into space
It should be live 1-2 weeks (the update will be done soon, but we'll have some beta testing before we make it live).
when the game will be free or there will be a week that will be free and then get paid again because I have no money and I already did everything I could do in the demo version :/
The demo will remain free (and has a lot of free content), but the full version will never be free (we have to make enough to keep developing the game somehow).
look the demo may contain several things but my demo is no longer nothing .-.
It has no use in the demo, but if you hold on to them, there are uses for the helium sacs in the full version.
After defeating the mirrows, you are at the end of the science path in the demo - you'll need to get the full version to get more missions on that path. However, there are side quests and a second path in the demo you can do as well - try completing quests for the alchemist on the starting island to unlock the magic path (try feeding the wyrms in the wyrm pen).
Yes, we hit the stretch goal for it, so co-op multiplayer will be added before the full launch (late 2019).
Dear,
How much will the game cost in the end of 2019 when its supposed to be released in full? Rough estimation is enoug of the price for complete game.

Thank you for your patience, I enjoyed the demo very much.
if you buy the early access you get the full version free when it comes out.
Dear,
Thats great, ill do that for myself as a christmass gift. Thank you for the great news
Sincerely greatfull

Does it matter if i buy it on steam or from dev?
The Itch.io version includes a steam key, so it doesn't really matter where you buy it (although I get to keep a larger cut if you buy it on itch.io).

I am using the 1.5.1 updated game :D, love the game, just hate the crashes :(
1. Does it have an error report? If so, let me know.
2. If you have mods installed, try disabling them. Some can cause crashes.
3. If it crashes randomly with no report, that is usually a graphics card error. Try updating your graphics card driver.
Hi it does crash randomly without an error report and I am using a Geforce1050 laptop. will try update my driver and give you feed back. thanks :D
the game tends to crash if I don't save regularly, is there a fix to this?

It still won't sync I think it might be my computer or I messed something up is there anyway to tell what's wrong?
Usually sync failures are just a temporary network glitch. If it persists, let me know. If you hit Ctrl+Shift+D, you can get a little more info about the errors.

thnx it's working now I was scared because I kinda have a history for my computers breaking lol.
I have already bought the game, do I need to pay again or is there a way to get the update free.
The page where you got your initial downloads should have the updated version (1.5.1) now. Just go there, and you'll be able to download the update for free (and all future updates too)!
hey uh when I click on Aground.exe it says null object reference but if I go into the files and click aground it runs.
also, I can't put the power cores in the space ship and when I try to fly it says "this the end of the science path for this update" and I can't sinc
can you help me? I'm using a Windows Dell.
You can't fly the spaceship yet without cheating - that's intentional, as that part of the game isn't done yet. Try syncing now - there was a bug a while back that caused saves that were larger than 1MB to not sync, that should be fixed. I have no clue what you mean with the first problem - it runs in the files but not when you click it?

So, it'll do that if you change the run start in directory of the shortcut. Right click on the shortcut, click properties, and in the shortcut tab make sure Start in: shows the path to the exe (shown in Target).
where can I get the 1.4.3 update as its says it available on the game
Just download it here - the current version on the itch.io page is 1.4.3
The next update will be Tuesday, and will include the magic path to space.
It should say 1.4.3b (b is just a few patches/bugfixes from a). You can download the latest version from itch.io if you have the wrong version. The next update should come mid october (but I don't have an exact date set yet).
What should i do if the space ship doesnt recognize my powercores? Im on mac
There was a bug in 1.4.3 that was fixed in 1.4.3a, so updating may help, but even if you install cores you can't fly the spaceship yet.
it still doesnt recognize them. Thanks for the response.
I found a glitch when taking a boat through the portal (in the ocean) and I accidently jumped out at the last second I could not find the boat anywhere I had to quit and come back to my last save.
Not a glitch - if you leave your boat while it's being sucked into the whirlpool, it'll get sucked in and destroyed and you'll have to build a new boat (or reload).
when do the updates come out each month and how do I access them?
Updates are not regularly scheduled, but come about once a month. I post updates for each major update, and you can get them here (I think the itch client should auto-update your game as well).
Is this multiplayer
Not yet, but we are planning to add co-op multiplayer before the full release.
when i extract the file, i don't get the file to start the game
ARE YOU GUYS PLANNING TO ALSO GIVE A SUMBARINE??
There is already a submarine in the early access version!
What operating system are you using?
how do i play on the early version
The early access version? It's the _full zip files instead of the _demo, you get access to it when you buy the game, and it includes more content now and all updates (including the full release late next year).
If this game goes on steam, I hope you make it free or atleast cheap. Dollar is almost 5 times my countries money so even 10$ is out of my range.
No worries! You can play it for free! https://www.kongregate.com/games/terra0nova/aground
But i think it is the demo?? OR IS THIS THE FULL VERSION!!
The web version is the same as the demo available here, and includes the first 3 islands (about 8 hours of content). The early access version includes an additional 4 hours of content right now (completing the science path on the first planet), and we plan to update it monthly with new content!
Game isn't working. There is every data exported but it says something is missing
One other person had this problem, and we figured out that it had to do with permissions on their computer. If the game doesn't have permission to access the files, it can't run. Try putting the game in a non-protected folder (and make sure all subfolders extracted are readable), or run the game as administrator.
