    Ah thanks for the recognition, we appreciate your kind words and it's a pleasure to try to make the native Linux experience as good as we can :) Don't worry about that, all BeamNG devs are getting appropriately compensated for their work!

    Hello, I've just installed the game on Arch Linux 6.15.6-arch1-1 and the game launches but there is no audio.
    Running the game under Wayland (sway) and Pipewire.
    This happens on the native version, I haven't tried it under Proton but I suppose it will work there.

    Make sure the file name is all lowercase. BeamNG converts the file paths for mods to lowercase on the Lua side for some reason, which breaks on case sensitive file systems.

    ^ This works, also we managed to fix this bug for 0.37. You can also use a case-insensitive directory for your userpath to get rid of some problems (ext4 partition with casefold support, then `chattr +F /path/to/userfolder`).

    Hi, any errors show up? Can you send over the `~/.local/share/BeamNG.drive/0.36/beamng.log` file here?

    Hi, unfortunately we don't have the capacity to test all possible thirdparty integrations, moreover I just tried to follow the official guide to run Wolf and it doesn't even start the container due to SELinux. BeamNG has been tested to run in containers, you might have to add the `-nocefsandbox` command-line argument (won't be needed in 0.37 anymore).

    Thanks for your response! That's understandable, of course.

    I don't really have any experience with SELinux. I run Wolf in Docker in LXC.

    The -nocefsandbox did not seem to make a difference, unfortunately. Is it a fair assumption that the monitor error is what's preventing the game's successful launch, though?

    I just tested out cammus pedals, with and without connecting through the wheelbase. It doesn't show up for the native linux version either, like my fanatec clubsport V3 pedals

    Yes it could be a reason, I don't know how Wolf provides the virtual display to games, but it might be incompatible with our code expectations. Another reason might be that it seems Wolf only supports Wayland and Gamescope, both of which don't work in the current BeamNG release. I suggest you try again after BeamNG 0.37 is released and get back to us if the problem is not fixed :)

    Bug with the mod manager using the Linux binary.
    If a mod archive (the zip file) contains any uppercase characters, the game will give an error. As far as I know this doesn't affect any mods downloaded from within the game, but when downloading using any means outside the game (ie through a browser) some mods contain uppercase characters. Roane County and Los Injurus to name a couple, although you can test this with any mod by appending an uppercase character to the archive name.

    I noticed this issue too when making mods, I just assumed it was all platforms though. Just thought I'd give a +1
