Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number-GOG Linux
Seriously, requirements of this game are some goddamn bad joke. I had to download Windows version instead, what was a certified pain in the back with my internet connection. I decided to actually buy the game instead of pirating because I wanted no problems with getting Linux packages and have another game I can play on a system I use every day, during short breaks I take whilst studying. I use Windows only for playing bigger, more time-consuming games and I do so only when I have a lot of free time, so it happens I do not turn it on for weeks.
I mean, if you cannot make decent graphics, because let's admit that, games from early 90s used to look better than this (and don't go 'it's supposed to be retro' on me!), at least make it run fine. This game should be running well on Amiga 500. So far it's just a major disappointment. Sorry, I just had to express it when I noticed the thread.

Sorry, I just had to express it when I noticed the thread. No worries, feel free to express yourself! I'm mad as hell for the horrible Linux port.:P. Tjbaxter: Hotline Miami 2 isn't booting at all in Linux, I have tried both the.DEB and the.TAR archive. I don't get a loading screen or anything. I am running the latest version of Linux Mint.
Edit: I read that it only has a 64-bit version. Is this true? I am trying to run both the Linux deb install and the tarball archive on two of my Linux machines. Here is the error from my Linux Mint Debian 64 bit (Linux Mint LMDE 64-bit) machine: Running Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number./HotlineMiami2: symbol lookup error:./HotlineMiami2: undefined symbol: SDLGameControllerAddMappingsFromRW libsdl2-2.0-0 is already installed and at the newest version. (EDIT) On my other machine, running Debian 64 bit, receives this error. Running Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number./HotlineMiami2: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This computer does not have the libsdl2.2-0.0 package installed yet. I'll post my findings as I research this further.
The only thing I've found by googling these so far was that it was related to the libsdl2.0.2 package. Being that both computers are 64 bit, running 64 bit OS's, that should clear up the other questions people have had. Have not successfully got it to run through WINE yet either.

Hotline Miami 2 Gog
Here's what I did to solve it: Search for libsdl2.2-0.0 on your system, you should have multiple copies of it by now if you ever installed any games that required it. Look for a copy of the libsdl2.2-0.0 file that is around 5.9 MB in size. Copy that to the /lib/ folder in /opt/GOG Games/Hotline Miami 2 Wrong Number/game/ and you should be good to go.
Not sure why HM2 won't find the proper 64-bit libsdl on some systems.
