Please fix!!! This game looks pretty sweet, I would rather you keep the 15 buxs I paid for it

Hello!
Usually it's a driver-related issue. Could you update on the latest AMD proprietary GPU driver please?
The PC specs is below the minimum game requirements, however it should at least launch and show menus, and you will be able to play on the low resolution with low graphics settings.

Also it seems some libraries may be 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 And post output of these commands here.

Regards!

Using Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit, I experienced a crash at the same point (during loading screen, right after AtomicTorch logo displayed) at first.

I followed (er, tried to anyway) the instructions here:

http://wiki.atomictorch.com/VoidExpanse/Linux_Compatibility

The instructions call for installing ia32-libs from the Ubuntu Raring repository (Ubuntu 13.04) which does not work on Ubuntu 14.10 because "ia32-libs" is no longer in the repositories for this version. As a result, the following error was displayed by apt-get on the command line:

Code Select Expand

Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0


After doing "sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0", the game launched and ran without any further errors.

It may be the case that only one of those three libraries was needed to run the game, but I installed all three just to see, and they do not appear to conflict with anything so far.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but it may be worth a go.

[Brigand13]

yeah i tried that for x64. Fresh install, drivers are ok.

So far this is the only game for ubuntu I've had an issue with

[ai_enabled]

Thanks guys!
We're going to provide 64-bit version of the game and also resolve dependency with Mono in the future releases. I can't say exact date when we will be able to do it as the game uses NoesisGUI for UI which is currently 32-bit only (on Linux), but the developers tell us they're working on 64-bit version
We're really excited about the reception of the game within Linux players (we was in Steam top sellers on Linux for some time), so we do our best on resolving these issues as soon as possible.
Regards!

VoidExpanse v1.2.9 should run fine for you. Have you tried it?
