===Linux - Doesn't start on Steam===

If you see this error (when running Steam from a terminal):
 +
 
 +
/bin/sh: /home/labyrinth/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Sanctum2/Sanctum2: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
 +
 
 +
the ''^M'' indicates that the file is DOS-formatted, so the newline is confusing steam and/or Sanctum2. Various editors have ways of converting the newlines. Here's one way you can convert it using vim:
 +
 
 +
:e ++ff=dos

:setlocal ff=unix

If Sanctum2 still doesn't start, you have an additional problem.

===Linux - Missing Textures===
 +
 
 +
S3TC texture compression is patented and may be missing in open-source drivers such as intel; which may result in missing textures. This can be fixed by installing the libtxc_dxtn library for your distribution.
