FA doesn't launch through FAF on Linux

[aphoswro]

Hi,

I set up everything for Linux according to anything I can find on the topic, including the Wiki and stickied threads in #technical-help but I cannot get my game to launch through FAF. Forged Alliance launches fine on Steam. What's weird is I hosted a bot game just fine, and my friend watched the replay. But when we tried to play, I discovered I can not join their game, or any game, or even host another game myself.

Now I am getting the following error when trying to do anything in FAF:

NotifiableException(i18nKey=game.start.couldNotStart, i18nArgs=[])

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.. thank you.

The highlighting on this forum post made it clear my run file needs to be executable. That fixed it. Thank you.
