[SOLVED] Black map and menu / red artifacts under Linux

[Zebulon]

Hi,

I just reported this issue to Feral, who will be looking into it.

Symptoms are: the main menu is black, only the cursor is visible. Presing several times Enter triggers the introductory videos, which work fine. Then soldiers are dropped and the map is entirely black, with coloured artifacts, as seen here:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=616413534
One can guess the map (the red bas are the hit point bars, some shapes correspond to text area, etc. The red and orange bits are redrawn when moving around the map or using keys to rotate (Q/E). Everything seems to work fine, except for the graphics.

It seems that another user has reported it on Ubuntu. I am using Archlinux, Nvidia drivers 361.18. Playing around nvidia options does not help so far.

Has anyone got the same issue and found a fix?

EDIT: try with a brand new user account. It worked for me, meaning the issue is with a local, user specific setting.

EDIT: unset LC_ALL solves the issue.

I've the same issue and reported bug to Feral too.

My config is:
Ubuntu 14.04
Nvidia GT840M with 358.16 driver

[deresh]

yep, i have the same issues.

Ubuntu 15.10
Nvidia GT760 361.18 driver

That is the problem with Friday releases: support is postponed after the week-end...

[Zebulon]

Don't forget to generate your spec report when contacting Feral, you can create it from the XCOM 2 launch window, in the Support tab.

[deresh]

yep did all that.

Also i hope they solve this soon.

[Zebulon]

What is your CPU? Mine is the i7-870. But I do not think it could be the cause. I have tried to play with mesa packages, but it did not work. Anyway, glxinfo reports Nvidia drivers are used, and I have no problem with other games.

I got a message from Feral support, they will look into the issue tomorrow morning, and will let me know of any progress.

This is weird. There seems to be no common denominator.

Hi, yes I got an answer but no progress. They say they cannot reproduce the issue.

They said to try driver 352.55 (the driver number they gave initially was a typo, it did not exist). For me it does not fix it.

I asked them for a way to launch with debug enabled.

I will try to see debug messages and will return to you.

Deresh, when I launch Steam and game using

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose .local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCOM\ 2/XCOM2.sh

I get a similar outcome:

but I cannot ascertain this is caused by XCOM2. This appears when launching the game, but there are no further messages during play and the corrupted map drawing.

[deresh]

It looks to me that game cannot get GL context (needed for 3d graphics) and after that everything goes wonky ( videos play, but no 3d stuff - menus, gameplay, etc)

OK, this could be worth sending this to Feral.

What happens if you launch another game that works? Do you get different messages?

I just tried with Alien Isolation, and indeed there are no GL context errors.
