Technical Support / Re: Linux - Ubuntu 14.04 - Radeon + Mesa 10.3 - Game doesn't run shows black screen

Hi Again,

Thanks for your suggestions, I really appreciate when developers  not only make a good product but also provide support :-)

I tried to run it disabling the overlay but it doesn't make a difference, black screen and the game exits after 2-3 seconds.

I tried to launch it from the console via strace, I get all the steam output but sadly not for the forked process with the game even when I use the -f in strace.

Are you aware of Steam having a debug switch/log? (I'm new to steam)

Hi, this is my game.log file

Code: [Select]

However I have discovered something funny, if I run the game outside steam it runs perfectly, when it runs the game.log file contents are identical.

If I open a terminal and launch it:

Code: [Select]

user@brutus:/opt/Games/SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Hammerwatch$ ./Hammerwatch.bin.x86_64

It runs perfectly.

I'm confused now...

Hi,

First thing first: I love the game, good job, it is quite playable and fun with multiple players.

I have found a problem though, I run ubuntu 14.04 and although the game runs fine on mesa 10.1, it doesn't when you upgrade to mesa 10.2/10.3 it only displays a blank screen.

This is the configuration when it displays a blank screen:

Ubuntu 14.04

xorg edgers ppa:

apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Radeon Driver:

X.Org X Server 1.15.1
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 8.0
Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so
Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.15.1, module version = 7.3.99

Mesa:

OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TURKS
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.3.0-devel
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:

Mesa keeps improving all the time and 10.3 brings fixes and performance improvements on many games for users of the intel/radeon opensource drivers, plenty of users update it all the time, and eventually it will land in Ubuntu 14.10, so this problem will happen to more people as time goes by.
