Cannot play Machinarium Thread - Linux Gamers

Heya,

I'm using openSUSE 12.1 64 bit. I seem to unable to play Machinarium.
The download was completed but upon launching all I have is a small window titled Preparing: but nothing happen.
I remember playing it in the past but not through Desura client so my computer should be able to play this.
Anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks.

After googling some more I check the missing library with command ldd Machinarium and found out some libraries missing. Installing those libraries fix the problem.
If you also have this problem make sure to also install 32-bit version of the library.
Standar OSS, Non-OSS, and Packman (?) repository are sufficient for the installation of all libraries required for Machinarium.

Yes any time you download a 32-bit Linux game on a 64-Bit system you must install the 32-bit compatible libraries or none of the games will work for you.

Should Desura not handle this while installing a game? After all it's a dependency in that case.

Yes and no. It should alert you if you don't have them installed letting you know that you will need to install them. The problem is that all of those have dependencies and can be slightly different from distro to distro. So it is better to just let them know they need to install them if they are not already installed. This is probably going to have to be something added to the client for it to check, like AIR and Java are currently.
