Trying to run CS2D on Linux Mint won't work

I'm trying to install CS2D on my 64x Linux Mint PC but it won't open because of some segmentation error. Please help!
Nevermind, fixed it by uninstalling Steam.

Shouldn't be necessary to uninstall Steam. Typically you have to install some old compatibility libraries to make it work.

That did work on my AntiX Linux laptop, although I can't seem to get it working on my Linux Mint HDD. Weird, but I suggest you guys update the info (if possible).

Hi, I'm kinda late.
So the problem was that up until a specific resolution (1440x900 which is my native resolution) the game works, but if I go after that it gives me an error.

Not sure if I get you right. With "going after that" you mean "higher"? And you say 1440x900 is your native screen resolution? So you tried to pick a resolution which is higher than your native screen resolution?

If that's the case: This isn't possible. The game can only run in screen resolutions which are supported by your hardware. Or any lower resolution if you run the game in a window. Going higher than your native resolution wouldn't make sense anyway because it wouldn't fit on the screen. Unless you do some downscaling but that's a ridicolous idea for a game like CS2D.
