Crashing after splash screen.

Jiridabear · 08-03-2010, 01:12 AM

So I installed it natively, set permissions as required, and after it's done verifying and all that the window pops up with the splash screen. Stays up for a few seconds, then it disappears and nothing else pops up.

I'm using an intel x4500hd, and I'm running openSUSE 11.3 atm. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, could you post your log and error log files from the ~/regum/live folder here as attachments?

maybe that's the problem <_<;

It looks like you don't have OpenAL installed and that this is causing the crash. Install OpenAL using your package manager and try again.

It was already installed. No good.

Ok, that's really weird. The only error I can find in your logs is this:

This does give the impression that OpenAL is missing.

Are you on a 64 or 32 bit system? There's probably just a problem with RO not finding the installed library because it's looking in the wrong path. Steps to diagnose/correct the problem:

1. Determine what command starts RO. On my system, it's: /home/Klutzine/regnum/rolauncher

2. Open a console (terminal).

3. Now start the program with strace. Type:
strace /home/Klutzine/regnum/rolauncher
i.e.: strace (space) + the command you found in step 1.

4. Very probably you'll find a message like this somewhere in the console output:
open("/foo/bar/libopenal.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

5. That means the system is looking for libopenal.so in the directory "/foo/bar".

6. Now, locate the actual libopenal.so installed in your system. (Very probably, it's not a real file, but a link to a file. That doesn't matter).

7. If it's a link, find out what file the link is pointing to. Very probably, it's something like libopenal.so.1.2. Yours may differ.

8. Make a link to the file libopenal.so.1.2 (or similar) and name it libopenal.so .

9. Move that link (not the actual file libopenal.so.1.2!!!!) to the directory indicated above, "/foo/bar/" in my example, but obviosuly it will be something else in real life.

10. Try to start the game the usual way.

11. Good luck!
