Default RO Launcher still crashes at launch ...

Hi everybody,

this is starting to get really frustrating. I have upgraded my computer about 2 months ago and made a clean install of Kubuntu.

I reinstalled RO at the same time.

Since then it crashes at launch. I don't even get to the part where you have to accept the license agreement.

It is the segmentation fault. So after searching for 2 months through the different forums, search engines etc ... I give up and ask for help.

I have even tried to install the game through Steam, to no avail.

This is my current configuration:

OS: Kubuntu 18.04 LTS

- i5-3470
- Nvidia Geforce GTX 680
- 8 GB of RAM
- graphic driver is: nvidia-driver-390

I can paste the log output if it's any use.

Thanks for any help.

Start it from terminal, show us the console output. [S]Is any library missing? If I remember correctly, regnum used old version of libpng, which is was not available in repositories and you had to copy it from package from older release.[/S] Or is it regular crash? There used to be crashes related to GTK library and theming. Try setting default gtk2 theme and default icon theme.

(What tag do I use for strikethrough text? Can't figure this out )

Unhappy

Thank you for your reply. I have launched from the terminal and got this error:

~/regnum$ ./rolauncher
libpng warning: Application jmp_buf size changed
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

Apparently there is an issue with some buffer.

This is after a clean install.

Sounds like an issue with an incompatiblee png library.

Regnum needs version 12, newer ubuntu shipts version 16 afaik, im not sure. See if you can install package libpng12-0 via apt or some package-manager with gui. Report back, if it doesn't work that way you could manually place the correct libraries next to the rolauncher and game executables.

Hello,
I also have issue with Regnum launching on Linux (Kubuntu 18.04).
I installed required libjpeg.so.62 and for libpng, which RO requires older version did:
Code:
wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \
  && dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
  && rm /tmp/libpng12.deb
I also installed Adwaita GTK theme and set it as default theme for GTK apps.
When launching ./rolauncher, I get only:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


The launcher shows for a second and then crashes. Is there something else that I am missing or that I can try?

It needs ncurses5-libs too. Last time i installed RO i needed to build this from AUR in order to run the game properly. It seems that RO still needs old libjpg (libjpeg6-turbo), libpng (libpng12) and ncurses (ncurses5-compat-libs) to run.

Please fix this NGD, because RO is having trouble running on new distributions.

Please run launcher in the console so you can see what it needs more.

The Windows 32-bit client runs fairly well in Wine. The Linux client hasn't been updated in years, from what I understand. An updated Linux client using more modern libraries would be a good thing.

One of the reasons I started playing this game was that it ran Native in Linux.

I had this same problem a while ago, so I used Steam client to launch the game, which worked fine.

I can't remember if I was trying the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the game when I was getting the error. In any case, Steam seems to be using 64-bit version.

Recently I downloaded the 64-bit version of the game and installed it without using Steam. This time it seems to work fine.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and have these packages installed (mentioned in the posts above):
libjpeg62
libncurses5
libncursesw5
libpng12-0
libpng12-dev

Libncurses5 and libjpeg62 are in the official repositories for Ubuntu 18.04.

Of course there might be something else affecting this also.

Hope this helps
