[Linux] Game crashes during campaign opening cutscene

[Trinexx]

See title. Sometimes it crashes as soon as the cutscene starts, sometimes it'll go a few seconds before dying.

Unable to find any sort of crash log. Launching the game through the terminal to see what's going on is ineffective, the game immediately closes itself then relaunches through Steam.

Hello BUSH DID X11.
Please use Ubuntu latest, as this is the only distro we are supporting.

Working fine here (RX 470, Linux 4.11, Mesa 17.1; SteamOS-ish).

Drivers up to date? Also, you could run Steam itself from a terminal then launch the game as normal; or you could attach gdb to the game and (hopefully) get a backtrace. It may also be worth trying nouveau.

Same problem here opening cut scene crashing the game.

1050ti with drivers 375.39
AMD FX 6300+ With 8gigs of ram
Running on a SSD and the game too
Linux Mint 18.1 base on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Kernel 4.4.0.77-generic
Cinnamon Desktop 3.2.7


Update:

I got pass the cut scene after I was woundering what opiton did it but now everything works again for now.

What I did is went in to the open I set it to this

Vsync off

Anti-aliasing off

Texture Filtering to Billnear

Got in to the game then set it back where the game had it set too now it's not crashing in the cut scene.

Update 2:

The game crash again did the same thing but started with Texture Filtering only thing it still happen to crash then I set it back. After that then change anti-alasing set to off then it worked.

Update 3:

This time I let the game crash 2 times the 3rd time it work with out changing any setting.

Hope all this info helps.

You should fix your store page then, because it says 14.04 or .10.

Same bug here with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS

Full specs :

CPU : Intel Core I5 6300-HQ @ 2.3 Ghz
GPU : nVidia GeForce GTX 950M (2GB VRAM)
RAM : 8 GB DDR3

All drivers and packages up to date.

Edit :Lomkey's workaround works for me. But i also skipped the cutscene so there's that.

i have the same problem here, dropping out shortly after the rainbow appears every time...
similar specs to Lomkey and on same OS.

TL;DR - Try using -force-opengl in the launch options to get through the first cinematic, save the game and then remove it or replace it with one of the -force-glcore flavours. EDIT: Some people may find -force-clamped works if the others don't. (Thanks @Giancarlo below)

I have the same problem with crashing. If I use -force-opengl (in the launch options), the first cinematic runs all the way through fine. However it causes black floors on the second level. Using any other (or none) resulted in the game crashing back to desktop at random times during the first cinematic.
If I use -force-glcore32 (the version I have), I get huge black shapes everywhere on the second level. Using -force-glcore however works fine. BUT, the first cinematic crashes. The second cinematic played through fine but this is as far as I have gotten in the game so I have no idea if using this switch will cause other cinematics to crash.
If I run the game without any switch (i.e. default vanilla launch), the first cinematic will crash. The second cinematic runs fine and the game itself has no graphical glitches. Again, as I am only up to the second level I have no idea if any of the rest of the cinematics will result in a crash,

I haven't had any crash on Linux Mint, but experienced the other problems described in Thorned Rose's post.

I have a laptop with integrated (Intel) and discrete (ATI/AMD) card, if I run the game without any switch I get a very laggy experience and a lot of glitches.
Using -force-opengl I have a more fluid experience, but see black tiles in the second level, while all the flavours of -force-glcore give me flickering and tearing.

The option that worked for me is -force-clamped
It works fine: fluid game, no black tiles, no tearing.

Same thing is happening to me, and none of the options are helping.

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS running 4.4.0-77-generic
Geforce GTX 560 Ti running 378.13
Intel Core i5-2500K with 16G RAM

Fingers crossed that this can eventually work -- the game looked interesting and the price was right, just a shame that it doesn't actually play.

[Zephyra]

I concur that the game crashes on the opening cinematic every time. I have attempted changing the graphics settings and starting with the "-force-opengl" flag but nothing seems to work.

I stopped having problems when I disabled steam overlay.

[Makreig]

i can confirm the -force-clamped trick proposed by Giancarlo has fixed things for me

[Thrickles]

I'm also experiencing this issue. I've tried a few of the suggestions above but to no avail so far. Underde, please let us know what log / diagnostic files we can provide to help isolate the root cause of the crash.

[Mathuin]

Some success was had by starting the game from the command line, from the installation directory, skipping past Steam. Not 100%, though. Nothing useful came up in the terminal window when the crashes occurred.
