XCOM2WotC-f35

Small shared library to fix glibc compatibility issue to Steam's XCOM2 WotC game for Fedora 35 (and above i hope). Unfortunately XCOM2WotC binary executable was built in a bit wrong way and adeded the referencese to GLibC's private functions (since GLibC 2.34). I hope it will be fixed by product development team soon. If you are lucky enough ;) (like me) and have updated your Fedora Linux to 35 you can use a small trick given project provides: it just creates synonyms to GLibC's public functions; you just need to build a shared library ask dynamic linker to preload it so that XCOM2WotC application could use missing routines.

Build

make

Preload activation

There are two way to do it:

  • using of LD_PRELOAD environment variable (e.g. export LD_PRELOAD=<full-path-to-liblibc_dlopen_mode.so>)
  • update Steam/steamapps/common/XCOM 2/XCOM2WotC/XCOM2WotC.sh shell script used by steam application to start the game running: look for LD_PRELOAD_ADDITIONS= instruction and add the path to liblibc_dlopen_mode.so library there

Known issues

Unfortunately space symbols in the path to liblibc_dlopen_mode.so library are not supported by Steam/steamapps/common/XCOM 2/XCOM2WotC/XCOM2WotC.sh script out of the box. I am quite lazy to look for a solution as i am happy enough with given fix.
