Hi so both the Steam version and version I downloaded from the website have the same issue of not starting after trying for a few seconds. I'm not quite sure if i'm doing something wrong or not but i know i havent been able to start the game through the website download a few years ago.

Side note, it seems that even the Ape Apps Launcher doesn't start in the same manner.
Is there a certain way I have to install it?

If you start it from the command line, does it print out an error message of any kind?

Im not quite sure how to start it via the terminal. Apologies for my lack of knowledge on linux.

If you open a terminal in the directory where you have my colony saved, you should be able to do:

./‘My Colony’

Inputting that simply says "-bash: ./‘My: No such file or directory"
Changing the command to account for the space to "./`My\ Colony`" gives an exact error

Ok so after some fiddling around. It seems that "./My\ Colony" was what i needed to start it. Not sure why double clicking the application doesnt start it.

Unsure why the steam version wont start. Running it manually works but steam apears to not know how.
