If you've also experienced SEGV when trying to run deadcells native this gist might help.

disclamer I've almost no idea what I'm doing, I'm not responsible for your game bugging out or ruining your save, always keep a backup.

  • For me it turned out that the provided libSDL2-2.0.so.0 was too outdated (or bugged) for my wayland version.
  • After simply deleting this file, dead cells would try to use the system installed SDL version extra/sdl2.
  • Sadly the sdl.hdll now started causing problems. I simply looked this one up and found that this was a hashlink binary.
  • To solve this I installed hashlink from the AUR and renamed the provided binary to sdl.hdll.bak.

At the time of writing these are the relevant versions of software I uses:

  • wayland 1.22.0-1
  • sdl2 2.26.5-1
  • hashlink 1.13-2
  • dead cells (buildId: 11019997, version nr: v33 (2023-04-17 - 4529e8fb6 - 31 - steam))
