[Linux] Crashes on startup [SOLVED]

[PGPoulsen]

Hi

I have just installed Crusader Kings II from steam but when I try to start the game I just get a black screen, a couple of seconds of music and then it crashes. The lines I can see in the console is:

 Game update: AppID 203770 "Crusader Kings II", ProcID 5399, IP 0.0.0.0:0
ERROR: ld.so: object 'gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Here is the output from sysinfo:

I have been experiencing the same problem, so far I have seen some people that managed to solve this issue by removing the two first lines from the /home/user/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings II/gfx/FX/standardfuncsgfx.fxh. That didnt work for me. Other solution that I tried was the MacFix from paradox dev team, which also did not work. I am really anxious to play CK2 in linux.

you have to remove the first two AND the last one of this file. This only helps if you are using a mesa / open source driver.
The "mac fix" only helps with crash wile playing the game.

editing that file didn't make one bit of difference. still crashes after playing 1/2 sec of music on a black screen

What is the output from steam's system information? I don't have gsysinfo, this is what my graphic card reads and CKII runs well here:

I am of course running the latest stable Nvidia drivers.

Hi

Thanks a lot defiant. Looking at the video card specs I just remembered that I have one of those crappy Optimus cards from NVidia. So running "optirun ./ck2" to start the game fixed the problem.

(For those of you that don't know, the Optimus card is a combi card with both an Intel chip and a NVidia chip and using "optirun" makes the application run on the NVidia chip... ok, that is not entirely correct, but close enough ;-))
