1.4 seems to work fine (~5 minutes of playing) on intel/debian.

Thanks!

I do not think the gameoverlayrenderer is the cause of the crash, the warning
is about LD_PRELOAD and I get lots of output after it in the log.

I actually had turned overlay off in general steam settings, testing it now it makes
no difference at all if I enable or disable game overlay, globally or just for this game.

I did try a little gdb, but since there are no debugging symbols I mostly ended up in
mono libraries, the most active thread seemed to be doing pulse audio things.

I see the blue thing in the center of the screen, but I hear nothing in the speakers,
is it possible that it is audio that is the problem?

Thanks

How is it going with playing on intel?

On my different systems (ubuntu and debian) it still crashes directly after
showing the blue ball and setting the mouse cursor.

Currently on 1.2.8, 64 bit system.

Looking at the Player.log I now see:

Not sure why you set LD_PRELOAD, but that seems like a 32/64 bit bug for the gameoverlayrenderer since
I also see that there is a ~/.steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so file.

What more information should I provide to help you?

Thanks!

I am running debian unstable 64 bit with intel graphics, so if you have found a problem with intel then that is probably it.

Anything I missed?

My searches on the forum for debian only shows this thread and
http://forums.atomictorch.com/index.php?topic=368.msg2334#msg2334.
Do you know what I can search for in order to find other debian users?

As I told you I did try to read the Linux_Compatibility and follow it, but that did not help.
That the linux page also talks about an ubuntu release that is no longer supported makes
me a bit worried about the linux support.

I did try strace, but since I do not know what to look for I find no useful information in the output.

Is there any information that I should supply? Is the information in Player.log or
Log_VoidExpanse_Client_<date>.log helpful to diagnose the error?

Is there any "--debug" or "--verbose" flag that I could use to get more information about
what is causing the crash?

Thanks

Hi!

I am trying to run the game on debian/linux, when I try to start it I get the
splash screen (something like a blue circle in the middle of the screen)
and then I am dropped back to steam or desktop (depending on how
I try to start it).

I did try to look in the Player.log, but it does not really tell me anything.
It has some OpenGL information, loading mono assemblies,
resize / fullscreen, controller info, some text about fallback shaders not found...

the last few lines of the Player.log are:
Total system RAM: 7726 MiB
AudioManager: Using ALSA: default
Platform assembly: /home/robo/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/VoidExpanse/VoidExpanse_Data/Managed/Mono.Security.dll (this message is harmless)
Platform assembly: /home/robo/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/VoidExpanse/VoidExpanse_Data/Managed/System.Configuration.dll (this message is harmless)

I did read the linux pages and I think I have installed all 32 bit libs that are needed.
Is there any way for me to debug this further?
What more information do I need to provide?

Thanks
