Problem in linux

[Makeit]

When i try to start this game i get this error:

shader: failed to create variant default of shader error.aeshader

anybody know how to fix this?

[Thin Lizzy Stan]

i get this too, super annoying.

heres my specs if there turns out to be a hardware/software problem

Same problem :V
I'm using an AMD A6-3400M APU and 6G memory.

Nothing else to add, except that I just got done debugging some of my own shaders last night, so it's probably not a hardware issue.

same problem here.
but when I start steam with optirun it just blanks the screen for a second or so an then quits with some error:

[black_puppydog]

hmmm, actually, since the last update I cannot start bastion either.
or any other game for that matter when I use optirun...

don't know if this is related, but Ubuntu keeps complaining about steam-i386 not being able to update. x64 seems to update fine though...

[superlink7]

A few days ago, I too was getting a problem with compiling error.aeshader. Recently it changed to an error with lambert.aeshader.

I decided to try replacing lambert.aeshader with error.aeshader (since the change above sugested to me that the error shader was working). The game complained about phong.aeshader now, so I replaced that one too.

The game now ran, and I was able to play the game, though most things were a uniform shade of pink, and one had to guess where the obstacles were. Animations on the models were not working either.

I looked at the other shaders, and saw flat.aeshader. I replaced the lambert and phong with that, and got everything to be white, but the models were now discernible. Definitely playable, but annoying and animations still missing.

Then I replaced those two with texture.aeshader and now the game is super playable. Everything is at a uniform ambient lighting, but the models are textured and the animations returned. (The game later crashed on a level with water when it wanted water.aeshader, so I replaced that one too!) Notably, the mode upgrades, the beats, and the player paddle/shield are still all white.

A dirty workaround I know, and I can't enjoy the game in its full nicely shaded glory, but it's nice to be able to clean up and get some missed perfects on levels I already did on my Windows desktop. (I've only tested te first 2 worlds with this "workaround.")

I hope someday this file swapping won't be neccessary. Of course, I am simply they released this game on Linux at all. Yet another reason to adore these devs.

tl;dr: I replaced the non-compiling shaders (phong, lambert, water) with the texture.aeshader file and the game works, but doesn't have nice shading. No guarantees the game will be stable.

[wombat marx]

regarding the error.aeshader compilation problem, this was fixed yesterday. it was caused more by certain drivers than video cards (some GLSL compilers have less forgiving preprocessors).

the lambert.aeshader that some people are now experiencing is caused by a similar sort of issue -- some GLSL compilers are more strict about adhering to GLSL spec. but it's not a big deal; I think the problem is solved, and will be updating the game once the fix goes through some more testing.

in the meantime, @superlink7's dirty workaround should get you up & running. it might cause problems when steam updates with the fixed build, but if that happens you can verify your steam content (or worst case, reinstall), and everything should be working again.

[wombat marx]

the lambert shader should now work with strict GLSL 1.10 compilers. please let me know if you're still seeing this issue.

[superlink7]

New shaders working wonderfully over here! Thanks for the quick handling of these issues.

[shoggothic]

The new shaders worked for me, but they seem to be a little bit too fancy for my integrated graphics card (Intel HD4000, using whatever drivers are packaged with Ubuntu 12.10), as the framerate is much lower than I was getting pre-update. I've replaced lambert, phong and water with texture.shader, which for me is an okay workaround.

[Thin Lizzy Stan]

i have no baseline for anything im saying, but it also seems the performance is a little slow, also, everything looks slightly dark, the "Press To Start" text (or whatever it says) is barely visible, and the rest of the game looks the same way, no visual bugs, just a little dark.

but the new shaders did the trick, the games perfectly playable right now.

[superlink7]

I, too, can mention the game is noticibly darker on my Linux laptop relative to my desktop. (I prescribed it to a difference in monitors, but with the post above, it may be something). The "press start" screen is hard to read, and the kick-walls of World 3 are quite hard to see with this darkness.

[black_puppydog]

the game now runs when I use my internal graphics, but when I run steam with bumblebee (performance is not too good with internal graphics on 1920x1080) then it still crashes (i.e. doesn't even start)

[alex]

I'm still getting the error "shader: failed to create variant default of shader error.aeshader", on Ubuntu 12.04 using up-to-date AMD drivers. I only purchased the game today and so far haven't been able to get it to work.

[black_puppydog]

For me, when I use the solution from this question[askubuntu.com] everything just works magically :)

Instead of "primusrun steam" use "optirun -b primus steam".
