Game crashes when starting

Tcalda · 11-13-2009, 10:12 AM

Good morning everybody, i installed Regnum Online on Ubuntu Karmic.

My hardware:

P4 3600
Radeon 9600 configured with driver non-proprietary (Xorg.conf = driver : "ati")
Audio onboard

So: i can start the game, i can choose my realm and then create a character. But after that, i try to go on and click play: the game starts loading "resources", and then, always, crash down, at 80% or even 100% of the process. It exits, and i find myself back on my desktop with resolution down to 1024x768.

Any idea of the possible issue here? Any workaround? Notice that i used, successfully, the guide here for configuring the open ati drivers.

Thanks in advance,
Tc.

Can you post your crash_backtrace_(pid).log? Or is it not generating one?

Have you tried running the game in "safe mode"?

Unfortunately the radeon drivers used in karmic may not be quite up to scratch. I'm fairly certain most of the guide that's posted is outdated - the only bits you should need at this point are the driconf steps.

Try with a lower resolution Tcalda.

Try windowed mode first if your able to go in.. Try a display size of your desktop..
If it work then try a different screen size you may not have proper mode lines or display size that your x server is uses to which causes a segment fault...

I believe xrandr takes care of the configuration now instead of mode lines..
