Heroes of Newerth does not support Linux anymore

V1T4MiN

This is just a rather silly question but I was just wondering why the help center page on it still exists since it no longer supports Linux.
That's all
Thanks

V1T4MiN I added that guide years ago when someone was having trouble getting the Linux client working. I strongly recommend filing an issue here: https://github.com/getsolus/help-center-docs/issues so that Josh and I don't forget to fix it.

I would assume because no one has pointed out that they abandoned the Linux client before.

I suppose so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Gotcha', I will do that (:
Thanks
EDIT: I opened an issue on Github

I have found what might be solution for you, if the game dose not launch, try this

Source: Youtube

navigate to "/home/username/HoN/libs-x86_64" and find "libfreetype.so.6". Rename it to anything like "libfreetype.so.6.bak". This will cause the game to use the system version. Sorry took so long! I found the issue though

laky Which my instructions covered: https://getsol.us/articles/gaming/heroes-of-newerth/en/

The client may be working now, but it sounds like they are officially shuttering Linux and Mac support. You can't even get the link on the download page anymore.

DataDrake Ok, honsetly didn't even open that post i was just reminding myself of what i saw on youtube. But whatever helps the best ! The game has low player base its strange they are closing support. They might lose more than they will gain.
