New user here, tried to use the Launcher to install and run the game on Suse Linux. The Launcher hangs in the “verifying” phase. It gets to 49.86% (in under a second) and then stops there, seemingly forever.
I can kill the launcher process and restart it - clicking the “play” button then does almost the same thing, but the percentage progress is different, but always around 50%.
I don’t think I can get any logs from the hung launcher? Correct me if I’m wrong and I’ll post them.

You can find launcher logs in ~/.config/Thrive Launcher/logs renderer.log is probably the interesting file. Also if you run the thrive launcher from the terminal as: ./thrive-launcher --open-dev it should open in a view where the developer tools are open and may show any extra errors that are detected.

The log file should have the output that is after this.
My guess is that somehow the file reading fails and gets stuck. I’ve seen dehydrated file handling (which is another feature of the launcher) get stuck while trying to read a downloaded file. I think it has something to do with the file write reporting a success before it is actually written. Though, I’ve never seen this issue happen when downloading a Thrive release.
Thanks for the reply.
The forum won’t let me attach the log files, so I’ve just pasted them below. Doesn’t look like any new information in there, but I could be wrong!
I can still play the game by unpacking the .7z file manually into the install directory.

Pretty strange. I can’t think of anything more to check. Someone who can debug JavaScript code will need to take a look at this. I opened an issue on Github for this:
