Raze not finding files on Linux
I put my game files in ~/.config/raze like the popup error message says, but whenever I try to start raze it still only gives me the error message of 'unable to find any game data.'

Re: Raze not finding files on Linux
Raze requires everything to be sectioned off into subfolders and only one level deep.
i.e.
~/.config/raze/duke/duke3d.grp
~/.config/raze/sw/sw.grp
... etc
i.e.
~/.config/raze/duke/duke3d.grp
~/.config/raze/sw/sw.grp

Re: Raze not finding files on Linux
I also had trouble with getting Raze to work on Linux until just a few minutes ago.
Note: I am using an older build: 1.9.1 - the Linux portable one. You could probably get things working by trying some of the following advice on newer builds, I just havn't had time to try build them:
Do EVERYTHING said in this post: How to make Build games work with Raze viewtopic.php?t=71962 - I doubt it will work by only doing stuff mentioned here but you still need to follow the instructions there.
Then try the things in this video
- Blood HD on Raze on Linux Mint 22.1! It Runs Perfectly - Precise Setup Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz4sdX8mgSE
If I find time in the future I'd try building the latest code and creating detailed instructions but the guide in the video is what got things working for me and it should be good enough for now.
