Instant Crash after Server Selection with new update.

[Znurre]

There is no official Linux support from NGD.
I would help you if I could, but I can't reproduce this problem.

[survive]

I talked to Onemyndseye, and he did look at it.... he was going to post something on it, guess he forgot, or got to busy at work either way...

it is true the problem exists with LD_PRELOAD, and either NGD intentionally, or mistakenly broke this function. This is not good news for Linux users in the variaty of the ways that LD_PRELOAD is used in Linux based OSs. If they did it intentionally, i have no idea why, maybe it was to block a problem they have, but this is not the way to go about it. Either way, we are stuck with that problem until NGD fixes it, which is where the problem exists.

until they do, if you are using the Linux package built by Onemyndseye, after installation, just use the launcher script in the RO folder, you will just have to do without Mumble Overlay (that NGD worked so hard to implement ), and without recording programs either, but it will launch RO without crashing.

Hope this helps, and if i mis-relayed any of this information incorrectly, sorry... Onemyndseye is the Linux guru, i am just a linux noob

One could also set "MUMBLE_OVERLAY=0" in /etc/default/regnum-online and continue to launch RO as normal.

example: /etc/default/regnum-online

## Default settings for the regnum-online package
##

#### Use mumble overlay  *** edit here ***
MUMBLE_OVERLAY=0

### use MALLOC_CHECK for Regnum Online
MALLOC_CHECK_=1


### Location for Regnum Online data directory.  Running user
### MUST own this directory and have read/write access. For
### this reason the default is ~/regnum.  Other examples
### are: ~/games/regnum, ~/apps/regnum
##
RO_USER_DATA=~/regnum

I also see in this thread that users are reporting GLC and Yukon to be working since the last hotfix so perhaps this issue is closed

[_Nel_]

Fixed since hotfix 1.

[G-rom]

Merci Nel, effectivement tout re-fonctionne

Ty Nel, and ty all, (even if I was quite pissed off to had to reply again and again)
this bug is fixed for me

[G-rom]

erf... spoke to quick. Was to easy...

take a lookt at this ugly buggy bug :



I have to fall down in shader model 2.0 to avoid this.

I'm on ubuntu 9.10, C2D 3Ghz, ati HD 4870, driver 8.67. 4, rendR 1.2, OpenGL 2.1.9116

[G-rom]

ati catalyst 10.3 solve the issue
but there is a bug in the installer of the driver, so if anyone want install it and have trouble install it, post here i'll help.

[Sodamngood]

Well! If there's a bug in ati catalyst driver, I would like to know since I can't get my regnum client work properly under shader 4.0!! Thanks in advance

[G-rom]

In the ubuntu installer, not the driver.
can't find a lib when i tried. I had to extract the installer, and add a link like ln -s on that lib name xxx.so.1.0 to xxxxx.so.1

[Sodamngood]

Could you please tell me which library is that!?
