Bug description: Game crashes on startup. The first screen (blue logo) is shown briefly then screen is closed. No relevant feedback in terminal or in the player logs. Note I'm running 64-bit and have already installed the 32-bit libs mentioned in http://wiki.atomictorch.com/VoidExpanse/Linux_Compatibility (http://wiki.atomictorch.com/VoidExpanse/Linux_Compatibility)
Bug thread title: Game crash on startup in Ubuntu

Which video drivers are you using?
I've got Intel HD Graphics 4600 and using kernel grahics driver i985, and X.org driver intel v.2.99.910
So I found someone on the Steam forums (https://steamcommunity.com/app/324260/discussions/1/611702631215436429/) with a similar setup as mine also experiencing crashes, although my GLSL is v1.30 (using OpenGL 3.3 Mesa driver 10.1.3) and from the Steam forum thread I gather this version is supported?
I've uploaded my ld-debug files here (https://github.com/georg-spree/voidexpanse-ld-debug) and I hope some of the developers could have a look at it.
It's really no fun buying a game and not be able to play it at all.
Hello!
Unfortunately currently the game is supporting only Ubuntu and Fedora Linux with NVIDIA/AMD GPUs and proprietary drivers (as stated in the game requirements on Steam). We're working on compatibility with Intel GPUs.
Usually the game crashing on launch in Linux by a few reasons:
1. not installed 32-bit compatibility package (in case you're using 64-bit Linux);
2. using non-proprietary GPU driver / Intel GPU (hope we can fix it soon);
3. some libraries are missing.
To determine what libraries are missing please execute:
ldd ./VoidExpanse
and
ldd /VoidExpanse_Data/Plugins/x86/libNoesis.so
and
ldd /VoidExpanse_Data/Plugins/x86/libsteam_api.so
Then you can install the missing libraries.
Regards!
Hi, thanks for your answer.
I only read the system requirements on the homepage, and missed the part on amd/nvidia with proprietary drivers on the Steam page.
I sure hope you'll extend to support non-proprietary drivers because there are a lot of linux users who don't use proprietary drivers.
lykeion, we understand it and doing our best. Today we've released v1.2.0 addressing also several Linux-related issues. Could you try it please?
Regards!
