Instant crash when launching the game

[ghost]

I think i've tried everything : prebuilt release for debian and ubuntu (i'm on xubuntu 18.04), git clone and then install.sh, building from source, and all of these several times, each time clearing my PAYDAY 2 folder.
Every time i try to launch the game with blt, it just wont launch. Steam tells me i'm playing for a second or so and then nothing.
Is this because of a recent update to the game? Or is it just me that can't make this work?
I have pretty bad performance without some texture mods (can i use mod_overrides without blt?) and would like to get my mods like they were on windows before switching to GNU/Linux.
I hope this project is not dead and i can get my mods back

Ok, let's break this down:

1. You are missing a dependancy. Run Steam vai terminal and it'll tell you when you try and Launch the game.

2. The game works fine currently, It's just you, sorry =/

3. Yes, Overrides now works without BLT.

4. It's partially dead by the looks of things. BLT4L is pretty much deprecated now, as SuperBLT has more functionality, and Znixian updates the code quite a lot (and it was designed to be Cross platform!). I made a guide on Steam if you want to try it out for yourself. Fair warning: I wouldn't try Custom HUDs or other gameplay impacting mods at the moment, as it's causing in-game crashes.

I followed your guide earlier today, but i'll look into missng dependancies when i have the time. Thanks for your help!

No problem!

Pretty much this. SBLT builds on all the research that was done to make BLT4L. BLT4L has not received any maintenance to accommodate changes to Diesel for some time. Not that any have probably happened, knowing the state of things.

SBLT builds on all the research that was done to make BLT4L.

Not just that, SuperBLT's Linux module is essentially a modified version of BLT4L.

Not than any have probably happened, knowing the state of things.

I can pretty much confirm this is the case. It's possible they've changed something minor with the assets system, but I don't think that impacted either SuperBLT (on Linux, at least) or BLT4L.
