Regnum only works if I run it as root

[wspirit]

When I run rolauncher as a normal user, I can get as far as the start screen (although I don't get the startup videos). As soon as I click start, the game segfaults soon after.

I've checked the permissions and all files/directories are owned by me. Can anyone recommend other permissions to check? When I run the game as root, everything works perfectly.

I'm running Ubuntu x64 7.10 with NVidia drivers.

Did you install the game as root??

wspirit try this to launch the game:

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
./rolauncher

This might be the well known bug of regnum of badly freeing pointers.

And if 0 doesn't work try 1 (with 0 i've the same crash as described by wspirit )

If you can't run regnum as non-root check /etc/X11/xorg.conf for this

Section "dri"
        Mode    0666
EndSection

Add this at the end of your xorg.conf if not present. (Edit remember that's some quick fix... dri shouldn't be activated with NVIDIA drivers)
