Segfault on Linux startup
Running Xubuntu 14.04 (Trusy) 64-bit with the latest NVidia drivers on a GTX670.

More detailed stats: https://ghostbin.com/paste/7q52e

SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/SNOW/BinLinux64gcc$ ./playSNOW szCmd: /bin/sh -c '"/home/iwarford/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh" "steam://run/244930"' & Aborted (core dumped) Running Steam on ubuntu 14.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Cant start it up other than that. I do have all the 32-bit compat libs installed (and Steam gets those anyway).

I believe you're running an unsupported version of Linux. We're still working on improving Linux support, so please bare with us while we continue improving things :)

Does not works for me too.

I found workaround, game launches for me.
Open system.cfg, replace
s_AudioSystemImplementationName="somethingsomething"

with

s_AudioSystemImplementationName=""
But game will have no sound.

I did it and now I can see a running window with black background, but after 3 sec it crashes.

op is running ubuntu 14.04 which you're supporting! they're just using xfce instead of unity

edit: btw I also have the problem. it's closing immediately on startup.

Same backtrace here on Gentoo as SUSEd. Dropping the bundled fmod libraries and adding fmod 4.38.00 to the system allowed the game to start, no audio heard in game, no config altered.

Same here on Xubuntu 14.04, but I am definitely supporting you for your linux support efforts.

Exactly the same on Ubuntu 15.10 (so the properly supported distro).
We were able to get the game to run, but no sound on Linux Mint 17.1. This came after the community manager mentioned disabling audio. But the game does not run. So we edited the audio command line as a random guess in 'system.cfg'. Voila. But we are unable to edit the sound, as the Settings menu is completely blank.

The team is not very experienced with native gaming, "the technical guy nor I have any experience with Linux."

We're aware of the Audio issue on some distros, will attempt to reproduce later this week. For now, run with audio disabled until we can find a permanent fix. The system should work fine on Steam OS now.

It doesn't even work on Ubuntu, which is what Steam supports directly next to SteamOS.

The settings menu also comes up blank by the way, and there's no cursor in the main menu.

I did just try it on SteamOS, there is no sound, but it launches without needing a config edit. On SteamOS with the Steam Controller it also shows a mouse pointer during the game, which isn't right. It moves all over the screen when trying to steer too, not quite right at all.

Settings menu also blank on SteamOS.

Yup, we'll have a look at those issues soon!
