I've been playing CW3 on Linux (Fedora 20) with no problems but today I can't start the program. I run it and get this:
$ ./CW3.x86_64
Set current directory to /home/dave/Downloads/CreeperWorld3
Found path: /home/dave/Downloads/CreeperWorld3/CW3.x86_64
Mono path[0] = '/home/dave/Downloads/CreeperWorld3/CW3_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/dave/Downloads/CreeperWorld3/CW3_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/dave/Downloads/CreeperWorld3/CW3_Data/Mono/etc'
$
In other words, right back to the prompt without any windows opening.
I haven't changed anything that I can think of, but I did reboot my desktop earlier today.
I ran strace against CW3 to see what might be happening right before it ends, and I see this near the end:
write(4, "Player is already running\n \n(Fil"..., 52) = 52
So is that why it's dying? Is there a lockfile or something that I can delete to get this working again? I'd appreciate any help.
Not real sure... the only topic that comes up is this:

This is for a steam version of a Unity game, but the steam part likely doesn't matter. Not sure if anything in that thread will help....
That thread wasn't terribly helpful, but the final post suggested merely logging out and logging back in and trying again.
Well, I did it and CW3 launched right up without problems. I dunno what was snagged but I'm glad to have CW3 back. I can stop panicking now. :)
Thanks for the reference to the thread.
