Torchlight Linux

gistfile1.txt
If you want to play on HumbleBundle edition of Torchlight you need old libSDL2 library.
Someone forgotten about that.
With latests libSDL2 it won't work. You will have issues with mouse pointer.
Cursor will have black outline. You won't be able to click on anything etc.
So I prepared modified libSDL2 lib which will able you to play this game with no issues.

That's those libSDL libs. You need to copy it to lib64 dir where you've installed Torchlight, in my case it was /home/kkszysiu/.games/Torchlight/lib64/
Have fun!

Here is the libSDL2-2.0.so.0 to Fix Torchlight-2013-05-21.sh

Just Download Torchlight_fix_Missing_libSDL.tar.xz
Unpack and move libSDL2-2.0.so.0 into the /lib64 folder of your torchlight installation.

Here is the FIX > Torchlight_fix_Missing_libSDL.tar.xz

@ainumortis SDL2 file didn't work for me. I still had the original tarball from this post and I've uploaded it to my lutris installers repo: https://github.com/dhollinger/lutris_installers/releases/download/v1.0.0/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.tar.gz

I can confirm this worked for me as well on Ubuntu 20.04.

Can't believe I'm able to play Torchlight again, thanks everyone!

Can't believe I've created this gist almost 7 years ago and it's still helpful for people :)

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!

I ended up taking the SDL file and saving it to my Lutris installers github repo releases page. If you install the humblebundle Torchlight version via Lutris, it will auto-pull down the file saving some time :)

Thanks for this work!

EDIT: Awesome, someone updated the installer and put those files in the Lutris DigitalOcean fileserver
