The Story Format Could Not Be loaded. Also defaults to non-existing monitor. I'm using Linux

I just downloaded twine and have made a basic two-choice story (yes/no) as a test. I made sure I selected a starting point by double-clicking the rocket on the starting point's outline box. When I tried to test the game I got an error that simply said the story could not load.

I went back to the main screen and clicked the "formats" button and it appears that none of the story formats could be loaded. This, I think, is where my "can not load" error is coming from. Why aren't the story formats loading? Do I need to download them from somewhere or do something to make them load? If it's not the formats, what should I look for?

Also every time I open twine or try to do any testing it tries to make the program load in "another monitor" when I only have one. I can make it go back to the only monitor by right-clicking and telling it to go to the "other monitor" but it's annoying to have to keep doing it over and over again. How can I make Twine default to my default monitor?

I am using a fresh install of the Twine I downloaded from the Twine website via the 64 bit linux download link.

If you once had an earlier version of Twine 2 installed and then upgraded to 2.0.10 then I suggest looking at the Can't find any story format files when running version 2.0.10 on Linux issue on the Twine 2 project website and see if prof_yaffle's work-around works for you.

I suggest you create a new issue regarding your "another monitor" problem. List which brand and version of Linux you are using and any other details about your machine setup you think may help.

Yes, the work around of going into .config/Twine/Local Storage and deleting all localstorage files seemed to work. I'll also make a new issue about the weird monitor thing.

Thanks!
