    One of our Linux users reported that game doesn't start on Linux Mint. After starting, it only generates "Failed to load il2cpp" message into log.

    Clang, mono-complete and dotnet-runtime are installed.

    There are no issue with exactly same build on neither Ubuntu, Arch and Manjaro. We also can't get Unity Editor to compile empty project with Mint. Any hint? We're using latest 2019.3 pre-release to create the build in question, but it seems to also fail on our older il2cpp builds.

    This issue happens as a result of Unity currently using whatever sysroot is installed on your machine at the time you export the build from the Unity Editor and if it's not compatible with certain operating systems, the build will crash on startup on those systems.

    We're working on shipping a functional sysroot for Linux IL2CPP in coming 2019.3 builds.

    Hi is there any update on this issue. I'm currently building linux il2cpp builds using 2019.3.9. They run fine on my local Ubuntu installation, but fail wait the error "Failed to load il2cpp" run I attempt to run the builds on my server.

    I have configure the sysRoot using the code in this post (which allows me to build the game) https://forum.unity.com/threads/uni...e-built-with-linux-error.822210/#post-5633977


    Are there any work around for getting il2cpp builds running on specific Linux installations, or any further development on the functional sysroot?

    Just ran into this same issue myself. I'm using 2021.3.15f1, building on macOS (10.13) for Linux with IL2CPP. The resulting build works fine on my Ubuntu box running under VMware, but as soon as I posted the build, a user on a (real, not VM) kubuntu box reported a failure to launch. The Player.log is attached, but I think the key bit is the first line: "Failed to load il2cpp".

    This is a major problem... I am not able to drop back to 2019.4. Is there any newer version where this is known to work correctly?

    [EDIT: I did find that turning of IL2CPP, clearing the build folder, and then building again seems to work around the problem.]

    Adding the linux sysroot package to your project should fix it. Does the build window not offer you to install it?
