AM2R Autopatcher for Linux
This utility patches the official AM2R 1.1 release (Windows) to the fan-made Community Update (Linux).
Dependencies
The patcher and the installer only require a small amount of dependencies:
Arch (including Manjaro, EndeavourOS, RebornOS, etc.)
Make sure that multilib is enabled, as lib32-libpulse
is a 32-bit library, and Arch does not enable 32-bit support by default.
To enable it, go to /etc/pacman.conf
, search for [multilib]
, and make sure that the next two lines are uncommented:
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Then install the following dependencies:
sudo pacman -S --needed python xdelta3 jre8-openjdk lib32-libpulse
Debian (including Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, etc.)
Make sure that the i386 architecture is enabled for you, as libopenal1 requires the 32-bit version, and Ubuntu does not enable 32-bit support by default.
To enable it, do the following:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update && sudo apt install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
Then install the following dependencies:
sudo apt install python xdelta3 openjdk-8-jre libopenal1:i386
Red Hat (including Fedora)
sudo yum python xdelta java-1.8.0-openjdk
Suse
sudo zypper python xdelta3 java-1_8_0-openjdk
Controllers
In order to be able to use a controller, you need the two following packages as well:
- jstest-gtk
- joystick
Linux and Android patching process
To patch your copy of (Windows) AM2R v1.1, place the AM2R_11.zip
(case-sensitive) file in the same folder as patcher.py
. After installing the required dependencies for the version you would like to patch to, execute patcher.py
via python patcher.py
.
During the installation you will be asked, if you want to patch it for Linux or Android. Press the corresponding number for that.
After patching
Navigate to the newly created folder.
If you have other questions/issues, please open an issue, post to r/AM2R, or join the Official AM2R Discord Server.
AppImage crashes
Currently all GPUs have known problems when starting the AppImage. For all of these, please make sure you installed the 32-bit GPU drivers beforehand.
NVIDIA
For Nvidia, you need LD_PRELOAD
pointing to your 32-bit drivers.
For Ubuntu-based distros this looks like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
, for Arch-based distros it looks like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libGL.so
. It will likely be different for other distros.
AMD
AMD crashes on VM Game Maker: Studio builds. This is true for everything before 1.5 and after 1.5.3 as well as most mods.
You'll need to try each one of these, individually, in order until one works: R600_DEBUG=mono
, R600_DEBUG=vs.ps
, radeonsi_sync_compile
, R600_DEBUG=check_vm
.
We can't immediately tell which is needed for a given AMD card; these are sorted by performance.
Intel
Intel crashes on Ubuntu-based distros. LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1
circumvents it.
Android installation instructions
You will need an Android device with a file explorer application installed, and a USB cable to connect said device to your computer.
- Enable installation of apps from third party sources on your Android device. The location of this setting varies from device to device; our example device has it under the Security Settings, but some may place it under Application Settings or another location. The option is usually called "Unknown Sources" and may need to be searched for.
- Connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable. Select "Media Transfer" on the popup window displayed on your Android device.
- Mount your phone (either via a file manager or via a terminal), and go to where it's mounted.
Move
AndroidM2R_1X_X-signed.apk
to a location such as the Downloads folder of the Android device. - Disconnect the Android device, and open the device's file explorer app. Locate and open
AndroidM2R_1X_X-signed.apk
. This should prompt you to install the application; after this point it should behave like any other app.
If for some reason, you are not able to access your phone, you can use the adb (android-debug-bridge) instead:
- On your phone, make sure, that developer options are enabled. If they aren't move to the
About Phone
section, search for your build number, and click on it 7 times. - Plug in your phone via a USB-cable, go to the developer settings, enable the
USB Debugging
option and trust your Computer. - Install the adb package. The name is different from distro to distro, so search your local package manager for
adb
orandroid-tools
. - Open a terminal and type
adb devices
. This should show your phone. If it does, typeadb install [path-to-apk]
.
Manual installation
This section, is if you don't like appimages, or want to run the game natively. Unless you have a very good reason for it, please use the AppImage instead!
Dependencies
As said above, these dependencies are only needed if you want to run the game natively.
Arch (including Manjaro, EndeavourOS, RebornOS, etc.)
Make sure that multilib is enabled, as this is a 32-bit application and Arch does not do so by default.
To enable it, go to /etc/pacman.conf
, search for [multilib]
, and make sure that both this and the next line are uncommented. After that, install the following packages:
sudo pacman -S --needed python xdelta3 lib32-openal lib32-openssl-1.0 lib32-libcurl-compat lib32-libpulse lib32-gcc-libs lib32-libxxf86vm lib32-libglvnd lib32-libxrandr lib32-glu
Debian (including Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, etc.)
sudo apt install python xdelta3 libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g-dev:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386 libcurl3:i386 libssl1.0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libglu1:i386
On newer versions (Debian 10+ or Ubuntu 18+) you may have to do the below command instead. Please make sure first, that you neither have libcurl3
nor libcurl4
installed.
sudo apt install python python3 xdelta3 libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g-dev:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386 libopenal1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libglu1:i386 && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.5_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.5_i386.deb && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/curl3/libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_i386.deb && rm libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.5_i386.deb libcurl3_7.58.0-2ubuntu2_i386.deb && sudo apt install -f
Red Hat (including Fedora)
sudo yum install python xdelta openal-soft compat-openssl10
If you cannot run AM2R after installing the packages, use ldd
in order to find out which packages are missing.
After patching, if you want to launch AM2R via command line, make sure to do it like this: env "LD_PRELOAD=libcurl.so.3" ./AM2R
.
However, there is also a .desktop file with the above command included (this one has the AM2R logo). You can just double click on that in order to start the game.
Some distributions don't give you any way to install libcurl3 anymore. Should that be the case, try to generate an empty library like so:
touch empty.c
gcc -c empty.c empty.c -fPIC
gcc -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname,libcurl.so.4 empty.o -o libcurl.so.4
And then launch AM2R with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to where your generated .so file is. For example LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/me/libcurl-lib ./AM2R
