Indeo video problem in some older games.
There are multiple games that run fine with a new prefix on my pc but when they are put into an appimage the videos (and sometimes the games themselves) refuse to run. Is this a problem with the wine bundled in the appimage? Plenty of older games using the indeo codec for video
Hi @Blad3forc3 , thanks for reporting this issue. Could you try to use flatimage instead? It is available in the latest version of gameimage as the new default.
Sorry Ruan but the flatimage option looks way overcomplicated compared to the appimage you provide.
Thats odd, it should be the same steps to create either. What are the issues you have encountered?
I have tried the latest game image and it spams my process viewer with a thousand instances of bash causing my pc to literally freeze
I'll try to recreate this issue. Flatimage will eventually replace appimage in this project, it solves issues such as building in a distro and not working in another, and the one you described here of working unpackaged but no packaged. Does this issue happens in the CLI and the GUI for you? Also, what distro are you using?
I'm using kubuntu 23.10. Game image was running fine and I was using an old version (0.40) without many issues but I tried the latest version posted 3 days ago and ever since both versions continually load bash in my event viewer and the terminal produces an error that too many bash instances are open at the same time. I have opened a new issue with this. I find it odd that even the older version has started doing it ever since I tried the latest version When using the gui this happened after selecting build on the latest version. When using the older version from the command line it happens after selecting No to remove previous AppDir

This issue is probably related to this one, appimage or squashfs probably messes up the paths to the video files, which makes the game unable to find them.
