[Workaround exists] Only black screen on GNU/Linux system - missing file?
I tried to start the game on my GNU/Linux system (4.12.4-1-ARCH x86_64) and only got a black screen.
The command line gives me the following error when starting the "nw" file manually:
$ ./nw
[2592:2609:0808/210413:ERROR:nacl_browser.cc(273)] Failed to open NaCl IRT file
"/home/marcel/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/hack_me/nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe": -4
module.js:625
return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));


The file nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe does not exist at the given place and I cannot find it anywhere else. Maybe you missed to add it to the linux build?

Same thing here. Will try installing on Windows machine and see if I can get the files that way.

Got it to work! Not a great hack, but... Go to the following website and download the nacl.... file:
http://www.4shared.one/file/d5ItW4dkei/nacl_irt_x86_64.html
Save that file to the directory indicated in your email.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/hack_me/
And chmod 775 it.
chmod 775 nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe

Then do a find on your computer for libsteam_api.so. If you have any other steam games on your computer, I think you should have it. Get the one under a lib64 directory. Copy that file over to the same directory, but under the lib directory.
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/hack_me/lib/

It should work!

Thank you for your answer, Kirov.
You are right - both files are needed (and the latter one is also required as a 64bit version on my pc - the first game I copied it from seemed to use a 32bit version). But it seems that I still have to start it from the commandline/outside of steam. Then it starts.

This workaround worked for me too. Thank you!

Hello. Ubuntu 18.04 black screen. Where to download the file nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe?

Worked for me as well, with the link from "quack! no skill, no luck". Had been wondering if this was the first challenge of the game - but, no, just poor distribution packaging :/. Also on Arch Linux.
