Summary0024084: GOG Linux launcher fails
DescriptionI'm using GOG's Linux installer. Yesterday I upgraded from 2.617 to 2.627a. I'm able to launch the game by manually executing it, but not through the system or through GOG's start.sh script. Here is the error I receive:

Running AI War 2 (English)
./start.sh: ./Launch_AIWar2_with_OpenGL: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

There are two problems with the script under "game/Launch_AIWar2_with_OpenGL". Addressing these will allow the game to start from the system menu.
  * That '^M' character in the error message indicates a Windows-style line ending made its way into the file.
  * The final line of the script should read "./AIWar2Linux.x86_64 -force-glcore"
TagsNo tags attached.

Thank you! I have passed your notes along to GOG developer support, who are the ones who create and maintain the installers.

Thank you for the report!

The fix for that is coming later today

* Corrected the OpenGL launcher script on GOG, thanks to GOG support (it was our error -- thanks to them for figuring it out!).
** It appears that the issue didn't affect all flavors of linux, but it certainly did affect some.

In the meantime, you can drop these into your folder and it should work after that, too.
