After downloading the Linux version of the game onto my Arch install, I discovered that running the provided .sh file resulted in a window popping up with "Fatal: Null" and the terminal being filled with Java Lang errors (screenshot attached). I have read the Troubleshooting post, and discovered that the "Fatal: Null" error should pop up if no audio devices are detected. But since the Terminal errors were all regarding OpenGL, it appears to be a graphics drivers problem.
So, going off of that, I "sudo pacman -Suy", and installed other drivers which would be used for my Intel Graphics set. Notice, I could not find any specific OpenGL libraries in the package manager, so there might be a problem with that. Also, on the MacOS partition, the game works perfectly, so this is not a hardware problem.
I have also chmod 777 the .sh file, and have ran it using sudo, but neither fix the problem. Please help me, because I want to enjoy this masterpiece of a game on my Linux system as well!
