Only black screen on fullscreen on Linux version

[grox]

Thanks for porting that great game to linux.

It is running on all resolutions but only in windowed mode.

Using Linux Mint 17.03 Cinnamon 64 bit
Nvidia 3.6.1.18

[Jenshae]

Linux Ubuntu 14.04
AMD R9 390

I see the menu.
I see grey mist effects, lightning brightness on the screen.

No mouse.
No 3D world.

Pulse Audio does work.

----------------------

TV view and Steam overlay off.
Command " -force-gfx-direct "

This makes the screen black instead of grey with the lightning effects still visible.

I can confirm the game in full screen on Linux starts with black screen. The workaround is to press ctrl + tab to switch to another window and then switch back to LIS window. The opening text is disaplyed and game works great in fullscreen. This seems to be a bug.

[Jenshae]

That did not work for me.

I have the same problem running Arch Linux. I have tried windowed, full screen with and without steam overlay and so on... no salute.

EDIT: Running on AMD R9 280X BTW
EDIT: catalyst-test from AUR (that is the Crimson driver 15.12)

Sounds like you have same as I had, don't know what I did, won't even start at all now (and can't be killed without effort!). I'm using an AMD A8-7600 which provides a Radeon R7 (codename "Kaveri"), running Ubuntu 15.10.

Hardware information in the original post

[76561198140997333]

The game supports Mesa 11.2+ for AMD cards the issue with the grey screen on AMD users machines is caused by using the unsupported and discontinued Crimson drivers. If you update to using the 11.2+ drivers with OpenGL 4.x support enabled then the game will run fine.

The Nvidia issue with the black screen on launch is likely caused by your choice of Window manager, if you enable Windowed mode on the pre game launcher it should avoid the issue and allow you to play. You can enable full screen again inside the main menu once the game is running.

For any further support please contact Feral support via the pre game launcher instructions.

I am using the "AMD graphics accelerators from fglrx-updates (proprietary)", this are usually the most up to date drivers in beta, no?

Might help someone - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux

Do not use that link above if you are on Ubuntu with a R3 390 GPU.

I ran the update -> reboot -> boot sequence -> cursor -> machine froze -> boot from boot disk -> graphic artefacts + freeze -> followed purge guide -> recovery mode -> root fun -> enable networking -> download package a dependency at a time -> install Xorg defaults -> enjoy 800x600 screen -> find a recovery package -> command line install it via tar and apt.


TLD;DR

I really don't recommend that link at all actually.
Release date: 12/18/2015
Result: Screw up after 6 months when they could have fixed it + 3 hours wasted.

As per the Steam Store page we only support Mesa 11.2. The AMD proprietary drivers are not supported.

I am going through the trauma of upgrading my OS right now (Ubuntu 14 -> 16.04). Will report back on the results.

I am currently in a no-graphics drivers limbo - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-04
Edit:(Well stuck on 1024x768 on a 1920x1080 screen)

If you had fglrx drivers and upgraded to Ubuntu 16.+ then had problems run the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove --purge *fglrx*
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
sudo reboot

[Jenshae]

Finally:

Run:
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
You will want this result:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.2.0

This is the biggest feck around that I have ever done to try get a game to run.

Edit:
It broke Steams libraries for calling the graphics, trying command:

steam --reset

Getting random effects now. Every object on the screen is "snowing off the left hand side" and after awhile the computer freezes.

Running:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.dpm=1"
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

Might fix overheating problems.
This has removed the snow to the left of UI objects effect, waiting to see if I have another system freeze.

[Jenshae]

This might work for getting Steam to run again after your upgrade to 16.04

VÀƤÓⱤ: sounds like the developers of that game need to reevaluate their system requirements, so others don't get caught out or have to go through that procedure
