Known linux issues

[mass airflow sensor]

If the game doesn't start:

* Make sure you have "libtcmalloc-minimal4:i386" installed. (Ubuntu package, if you are using something else, use the relevant library in your distro.)
* Make sure you have graphics card drivers in order.
* Make sure you have correct system specs.

If none of these help. Open terminal and cd into the game folder (under ~/.steam/...) and run ./bms.sh and post the output here.

Please provide your system specs, OS and driver versions.

Shadow errors:

There might be some minor shadow errors left in the game, if you happen to get these, try to lower/change your shadow detail in the options menu.

VOIP doesn't work:

This will be fixed in the future patches.

Crashes during helicopter explosion

This problem has been fixed and is released in the next patch.

My game has been freezing up after the initial Loading... screen, I've tried Verify Game Files, and all the stuff that was on any other forum and it still froze. I'm just wondering how to fix this because I'm excited because I got the game today and I really don't want to refund it...
EDIT: I am in the public-beta branch, the "bms_linux is not responding" window appeared when i said "froze", verify game files came up clean, and bms.sh complains "Failed to load the launcher".

I bought the game today and...

On a new computer with Ubuntu 18.04 with an intel card the game cannot start because it cannot find libtcmalloc-minimal4:i386, si I ran apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4:i386, however it still says bms_linux cannot load. If I wait a minute, the game starts, but lags as hell, evn on lowest settngs. I ran a verification and it downloaded 842 new files, but nothing changed.

starting bms.sh or bms_linux from the terminal says: Failed to load the launcher

ldd ./bms_linux says:

I don't remember if libtcmalloc was already included in the main branch or only in the beta.

If the game lags and you have an NVidia card, install the proprietary drivers, not the open source ones. Run Alt+F2, enter software-properties-gtk, select the drivers tab and pick the proprietary one.

Launching the script or binary to start the game fails because by default it resolves a lot of dependencies from the Steam runtime which is not in the search path if you don't launch the game from Steam (note: bms_linux dlopen()s launcher.so, which will also dlopen() a lot of other libraries, so using ldd there is a bit pointless).

edit:

libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 is included in the main branch, no need to install it manually.

libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 comes be default, yes, however the game still doesn't load it. I can see the crowbar logo and after that an alert window pops up saying that the game crashed and I can wait for it to load or force quit. If I wait the game starts, but lags, most likely because I have only Intel card. However the version from 2012 used to work on an Intel card.

Still getting OUT OF ADDRESS SPACE on AMD/ATI Radeon Vega 64 with Fedora 29 installed.

Can we expect a fix before Christmas?

Quite disappointed, considering performing a charge-back, as I built this system specifically to play Black Mesa on based on the problems that the NVIDIA Open Source driver had...

oooops! after new beta update new bug appear. flashlight doesn't affect a bunch of textures. it's the only bug now, as far as i can tell

Is it the same bug I mentioned here?

So I was able to start a New Game for the first time ever, hurrah and thank you for the update. Using the "-dev" launch parameter did not work (just minimized a window), and using the "-sw" launch parameter did work.

I went to the Advanced Video options, and I turned off/down everything. The game crashed when I clicked Okay, and it did not apply the changes. I tried this again with fewer changes and it kept happening.

But I started a New Game anyway, with the default Advanced Video options unchanged, and it worked without the out of memory error, on my system with Radeon Mesa Graphic Drivers.

This is Great! I will install Steam on my Ubuntu OS then I will install Black Mesa. I am so glad this will work on the Ubuntu OS. What a treat. Thanks so much!

Using the -dev option I got the game to load, but still cannot start the game without the out of texture memory error, stating libcurl.so could not be loaded. Looking for solutions.
