Slight problem runing regnum under linux 9.04

[techfreak15]

Hi, everytime I load up regnum, I get to click accpet on the agreements and all that stuff, then I type my login info and it crashes when i press LOGIN. After all of that, something pops up saying "Unsupported video card!

There are three possible causes for this error:
1. Your video card is too old
2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers
3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version"

Running it under Ubuntu it crashes. Run it in WINE... well it works, just a little glitchy cursor graphic and the speed is like... very slow.

My video card is a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

Think that might be the problem? If not, one of you can walk me through a solution please? LOL Thanks alot!

That didn't work for me...... I could have done it wrong though. I put in the terminal everything it said to put in, but it had a problem making the directroy then when it finally did make it it didn recgonize the directory. Im sooo confused x_x lol looks like stuff on linux never works when I touch it.

Cool but if you want to get help post here what's wrong...

You will not receive any help if you dont know what are you talking about.


There is no such thing like Linux 9.04 afaik yet
You did not provide all information like versions of drivers, kernel, xorg etc..
You did not tell if you have direct rendering enabled.
Best way to do that is
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Which tells whether are you using Software rasterizer and what is your mesa version.
You also need to tell exactly whats wrong, providing at least logs from game.


If you're using Intel then Ubuntu has messed up components of X stack.
Check Intel Linux Graphics page for 2009Q1 what versions are needed of all components. What I suggest is to install them from development branch of Ubuntu.

AFAIK, Ubuntu stable has downgraded for old components, keeping new mesa.

There has been a lot of work done in improving Xserver performance and features. It has not been touched since Voodoo accelerators and now huge changes mostly sponsored by intel have been made.
This cause that so many components needs to be changed.
But with DRI2,GEM,KMS all vendors will benefit. It will be also easier to implement OpenGL 3 in future.

For more detailed information if interested read Keith report http://keithp.com/blogs/Sharpening_the_Intel_Driver_Focus/

For proper textures display on all OpenSource drivers using mesa you need to install
libtxc-dxtn0 - S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) library
which is not included since its protected by patents.

Regnum no longer has the your card is to old error. It just crashes when it trys to enter a world. The terminal says

get fences failed: -1
param: 6, val: 0
Saving backtrace to crash_backtrace_24467.log
Got SIGSEGV (segmentation fault)


Also my video card is Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

Dunno if that will help any though.

I have Ubuntu 9.04 and my video card is Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM.

Please, could you post the output of "glxinfo | grep -i s3tc"?

I installed Savage 2 linux native client...
it's not work too...

says : "Savage2 - Fatal Error: OpenGL 2.1 not available."

do not know how can it help... just trying to tell as much info as i can...

[AlexzAK]

Dose game developers reading this forum.
I can help in solving this issue, providing information.
Just tell me what to do.

I think this SEGFAULT is some bug.

[ArcticWolf]

I don't know why it's not working, but you could try running any othe game such as tuxracer and checking if it has any problem related to your Intel Graphics Card.

Tuxracer and open arena runs good. So does The tux mario kart clone game whatever its called. Just a very very slight bit of lag. There was no lag until i upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04.

Find the "Device" section containing the "Video Device" in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you can edit it doing "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf") and replace it with this (or just add the Option sections):


Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "NoDDC"
EndSection

There is already an extensive thread covering this issue:

I able to play Regnum online using wine....
It works on fali safe configuration only, but works....

OpenArena works well...

Having exactly the same problem. Started with the "video card too old" bug, and now crashing when trying to log into a world (any world).

I think this SEGFAULT is some bug.

I second that. Despite the existence of an extensive thread, and a few workarounds (of which none work for me), this is a serious bug.

I haven't been here for some time now, and I see that this is at least a few months old. What gives? Is the Linux support silently being dropped?

[onemyndseye]

Wintershade,

The chrooted method should work provided you are running a correctly versioned distro... please contact me by PM, or leave me an offline msg on MSN (details in the tech thread) if you need help working out the details or have a failure I have overlooked... this will help me improve the method for everyone.
