[Linux] Oil Rush now starts

[Brandt]

Hi everyone!

Like many others I tried to run Oil Rush on Ubuntu 13.04 (32 bits) with Intel HD without success, when I opened Steam with terminal I saw this error when lauching Oil Rush:

Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 34 ()
Serial number of failed request: 52
Current serial number in output stream: 51

After some search I saw this are related with an >3.0 OpenGL extension - last official MESA drives implements OpenGL 3.0, theoretically - but thanks to this tip and the latest MESA driver (9.2.0) now Oil Rush runs smoothly at 50fps!

You can try this by editing the file "launcher_steam.sh" inside the folder Steam/SteamApps/common/Oil Rush doing this:

On a Terminal:

gedit ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Oil\ Rush/launcher_steam.sh

Paste this BEFORE the "./launcher..." in the last line:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2FC MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150

So, your ENTIRE LAST LINE will look like THIS:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2FC MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150 ./launcher_x86 -config ../data/launcher/launcher_steam.xml

Save the file and try to run on Steam.
If still not works, try to update your MESA drivers using the xorg-edgers repository:

On a Terminal

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Restart Ubuntu before try

To check OpenGL and MESA version, on a Terminal:

glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL version'

Works for me. Thanks for sharing!

@Kryuko You must cd path/to/OilRush-1.35 then run ./launcher.sh.

Apparently this will be more widely supported when mesa 9.2 is out (Unigine needs GL_ARB_texture_multisample).

Implementing GL_ARB_compatibility in mesa and in Unigine would probably remove the need to tweak the launcher script.

Outstanding Brandt, though I don't use Intel hardware it's good to know and thank you for posting such a detailed workaround :)

[Freak_NL]

Thanks for the tip. Upgrading the drivers works.

[Kryuko [GNU/NT]]

Not work for me. When i start the game, the launcher start, but if i click the botton to run the game, the game stop working and crashed.

Uhm, this tutorial works only in 32bit, right?

[allenmaher]

No I am running this fix in 64 bit. works fine.

[Kryuko [GNU/NT]]

D: i don't know why but for me doesn't work :(

You can try putting the override into an export command.

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2FC MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=150
