Hello everyone,

24.04. Update 2: Another issue with the free offer has been identified. This will need a fix on game-side which we will deploy tomorrow, 25.04. Afterwards we hope that both the Steam issue and the issue of the free offer not showing up have been solved.

The Linux native client does not open a webpage in external browser, so it's not working for me...

That's very weird as i am using Kubuntu 18.10.

I put this in my support ticket also...

When i click the rectangle in game it gives a confirmation notice about a webpage about to be opened externally, but noting happens when i confirm it.
(I have now chosen to always accept in that popup, so the confirmation does not even popup anylonger...

My best guess as someone who has absolutely no idea about Linux:
No default browser defined that the game could call upon?

Thanks for brainstorming, but unfortunatly thats not the case as discord is able to open links in my default browser

No idea why the native linux client is not able to...

I can confirm that this issue is now resolved for me. This took quite a while to get a working fix, I can say.

Also for you, the precious Linux user. There is some trouble with the libsdl2 library on most of modern Linux distros (or the game just uses modded one, idk). However, I managed to fix this through Flatpak on my Manjaro KDE machine:

First, go here and install it on your distro. Then, go through this link and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. You should result in runned Albion launcher which will download latest game data for you. After that, simply push "play" button and receive your in-game loot. Link should work.

Then you can delete Flatpak and Albion or delete non-flatpak Albion game from your home directory and play through Flatpak one.

Hope this method will work for you too. Cheers!

I solved my problem by using the link on my Android version
