RE: Help!!! Can't launch full converstion in progress! - Southlaguna - 07-31-2015
yea that could actually be closing in a ittle more on the problem here... Is there a way to downgrade or re download an older version to launch through steam?

Isn't it supposed to launch your mod? Even if it fails it should open Amnesia at least or give you an error.
Oh wait, it's a Steam version. Forget it.

Yes and no. Yes because the .exe's are for Windows, and they made it possible to do so on the Windows version, but no because the ones on Mac (Amnesia.app) and presumably Linux (which I guess is Amnesia.bin) did not get this update and are still required to be launched through Steam.

Well, if I were you laguna I wouldn't wait for a fix, I'd keep working in my mod under Linux and test it under Windows. Maybe in a virtual machine or another computer.

Is there a file or folder that links amnesia to steam? is there a way to sever that connection and just re write a .bat file to launch through wine?
RE: Help!!! Can't launch full converstion in progress! - Mudbill - 08-01-2015
I think it's the executable that is that connection. Perhaps it's possible to use a retail executable file in the Steam install directory, but the Steam-copy executable does not run on its own.

Okay, So i've gone and dove into this issue again using more tools from my developer environment then before. I discovered i was editing the wrong main_settings and user_setting folders as the real ones were in a hidden folder! I have the main game working!!! Although the error i seem to be having is the game itself, doesnt pick up on any maps other then the ptest maps or main game maps. No white knight, no tennebris lake, no custom stories.
I tried to update the man games resources.cfg to add the directory to my game and its maps and that aswell fails to show up on the in game map loader via Debug.

I tried launching it directly using user_settings and it crashes, i posted my hpl log for that. I also tried downloading a pirated version and switching the executables but that just messed things right up

I think FG will need to look into this. More specifically what happened to the Mac and Linux copies in update 1.3. They won't be able to do it before SOMA is released though, sadly.

KINDA SOLVED
So im doing just this, i can run the maps through wine on an updated windows version u game. Just have to edit them with my linux steam version. HPL2's camera wont work through wine. I have lots of issues with amnesia through wine aswell, but i could be the cause by merging all the AMFP entity and shtuff into my main folder.
Cheers thanks everyone this works for now
