v1.2.3 — Linux launch fixes for Wayland and NVIDIA

TideWane · published · build 23291752

Linux players: this build fixes two issues that prevented TideWane from launching
on modern Linux desktops.

  • On native Wayland sessions (Hyprland, GNOME Wayland, KDE Plasma Wayland, Sway, etc.), the game would crash on startup with a GTK initialization error from the in-game WebView.
  • On NVIDIA GPUs, the game window would render fully black even though audio played — the WebView's GPU compositor wasn't drawing to the surface.


Both are now handled by a small launcher script that ships with the build. No action needed beyond installing the update.

Still required on Linux: webkit2gtk-4.1 must be installed at the OS level (e.g. sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1 on Arch, sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 on Ubuntu 24.04+).

Windows and macOS builds are unchanged in this update.
