Linux version not starting

[kmoxville]

I press start, nothing happens

OK tried the edit. Still dosen't start.

Can you get me a crash log?

[de.nagical[linux]]

Put in the game folder, make executable, execute :P

#!/usr/bin/env bash

FILE=BattleBlockTheater
MD5_PRE=436e91811d8a38de1918991969347b3d
MD5_POST=71eb6519233b21d85c858b39f2b4871f
OFFSET=0x24f2b9
PAYLOAD='\x90\x90'

function getMD5()
{
    echo $(md5sum "${1}" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
}

if [[ ${MD5_PRE} != $(getMD5 ${FILE}) ]]
then
    echo Input has wrong checksum. Already patched?
    exit 11
fi

echo -ne ${PAYLOAD} | dd if=/dev/stdin of="${FILE}" bs=1 conv=notrunc seek=$((${OFFSET})) status=none

if [[ $? != 0 ]]
then
    echo Patching binary failed.
    exit 77
fi

if [[ ${MD5_POST} != $(getMD5 ${FILE}) ]]
then
    echo Output has wrong checksum. Expect trouble!
    exit 22
fi

echo Yay... everything went well.

This is slightly different from mine, his edit looks fine already.
Anyway I was asking for a crash log because I've needed `export MALLOC_CHECK_=0` in the launcher script for a while. Not really sure why but the game calls free on invalid memory during startup for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Ash]

de.nagical[linux] - When I run the script on the original Exe. I receive "Yay... everything went well." result. I then ran it on the patched version and saw "Input has wrong checksum. Already patched?"

Streetwalrus, Sorry, I don't know where the crash log is.

If I try to execute from terminal I get: -

This is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH\n
/tools/linux/runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/lib:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/tools/linux/runtime/i386/usr/lib::.
End LD_LIBRARY_PATH\n
*******/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/BattleBlock Theater/BattleBlockTheater: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did some resarch and there is probably a link missing but so far I have been unable to figure it out.

[novenary]

By crash log I did indeed mean terminal output.
Install SDL 2 from your distro's repo.

[de.nagical[linux]]

Enable/don't disable the steam-runtime and launch from within steam, or do what Streetwalrus said

Hi, I just want to point out that as per https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Games_broken_on_Mesa , they have a beta to fix this issue. I had the same problem, and kindly asked the support to give me access to the beta, which fixed it.

I can't share the beta access code, since it looks like they generate a new branch for each ticket (which is a smart thing, to be honest). However, they didn't ask me not to share the fact that a beta was available, so there you go.

@de.nagical: I guess the compiler is statically allocating this string, so you could probably cache the pointer to speed up things for future assertions (provided the string is only stored once). I am also a bit curious: why the assembly? Isn't your compiler supposed to pop those values for you anyway?

Oh, nice to hear there's fixing and development going on :)

Well, asserting is a bit special. Since failed assertions are marked noreturn, thus the stack setup is a bit different and returning not actually supported, hence the asm hackage. It's basically just to not have to fiddle with the binary itself ;)

Quick update:

I tried to install libsdl2-2.0-0. However apt-get says I have latest version.

I then tried ldd ./BattleBlockTheater

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 before running the game and try again. If that works, add it to your launcher script.

[Ash]

Ok that works. Thanks for your time.

I can't launch it from steam, but it does run if I execute the shell script. However a new issue, there is no audio!

And the xbox 360 wireless controllers no longer work. I suspect I have things missing.

You'd need to install the 32bit libraries, i.e. libSDL2:i386 or something that way... Or just use the steam runtime, that is, don't run from terminal or set proper environment, e.g. env LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.steam/bin32/" ./BattleBlockTheater.sh
