Which video drivers are you using?

[lykeion]

I've got Intel HD Graphics 4600 and using kernel grahics driver i985, and X.org driver intel v.2.99.910

[lykeion]

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:

Code Select Expand

ldd ./VoidExpanse
and

Code Select Expand

ldd /VoidExpanse_Data/Plugins/x86/libNoesis.so
and

Code Select Expand

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!
