Linux issues

[_Gregy_]

I'm having problems with Dead island the native port.
Firstly, Is anybody else having performance issues? I feel it should be better than this.
Secondly, I can't join windows users. It says my game version is different.
Help would be appreciated.

I've had some performance problems too, was able to fix that with this launch parameters:

LD_PRELOAD="${LD_PRELOAD} libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%

About the version mismatch, this has to be fixed by the developers.

I have problem with a black screen when i start the game.

I have only sound.

Any solution about it?

Thank you very much.

[NoXPhasma]

I haven't the black screen problem and at the moment I haven't found a fix for that. But you are not alone.

Coop with windows friend works without problems for me. Try verifying your game cache, maybe it helps.

Also, did you download the game on linux or have you transfered old files from an windows installation?

I downloaded this via. linux. I've tried to work it through WINE to be able to play, But I black screen. Linux version works fine, But I can't join windows users, Or even anybody. I'm not sure. It says I have the wrong game version.

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.

I've had the problem too, but not all the time. Sometimes we could play together (Linux to Linux) and then again I couldn't see any games. Seems there are bugs in the online game.

I have some problems in Fedora. When I tyr to run the executable form the terminal it shows the messages that it can't find the libSDL2-2:



[marcos@xfiles Dead Island]$ ./DeadIslandGame
./DeadIslandGame: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I'm installing everything about SDL here, but I couldn't fix yet.


EDIT: I installed here all libs of SDL2-2, but using strace I could see that my SDL2-2 library (who is inside of /lib64) isn't found because the game just try to found libs in the /lib dir. Maybe the game itself needs to be more smart and found libs in the Fedora lib dir.



Also, it seems the steam-runtime has all libs inside the dir ubuntu:

[marcos@xfiles Dead Island]$ locate libSDL2

The game is in 32 bit, so your 64 bit libs won't work. Also you can't run the game from console, because it needs to be running from Steam. It would crash.

If you want to start the game from console, to get some output, you need to preload the steam runtime:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:." ./DeadIslandGame

But, this game will be ported to 64 bit? Who in the world play games in 32 bit ? =/

[marcos.souza.org]

Yes, now I need to install other libraries as libGLEW for 32 bit...

I can confirm you the black screen issue is present only on Linux. Tried running the game on Ubuntu 14.04 and it would only pop-out the game window then hang. On Crossover the game runs just fine. This is again very frustrating towards Linux users. Has anybody come across such issue?

[jzerbe]

can confirm black screen on fully updated SteamOS and DI install. try to run from terminal and it pukes about Data0.pak being corrupt, although verify local content from Steam and it says it's clean.

I've had this same issue, ever since the game became available for Linux. This is on Debian Jessie, Nvidia card.

I've had the black screen problem, but I've got a work around that works for me. I'm using Fedora with the KDE desktop.

Start the game from within the Steam client, then using the system monitor (KSysGuard in KDE), look for a process named 'SteamChildMonit'. Within that process, there is a process named 'DeadIslandGame', and within that is another process named 'DeadIslandGame'. By sending a 'KILL' signal to the second of those processes, the game then runs for me.

I hope this helps
