does not launch on Ubuntu 18.04 (OpenGL error)

[Tryph]

I just puchased the game and tried to run it on Ubuntu 18.04.
Unfortunately it just does not launch.

When clicking the "Play" button the "Preparing to launch Godhood" popup appears, 1 second later, the screen blinks, the popup disappears and the game just doesn't launch.

I verfied the integrity of game files and no problem was detected.

Here is the content of abbeycore.txt which seems to be a log file:

Hey Tryph, which display drivers are you using?

[Tryph]

I was using the free driver activated by default in Ubuntu 18.04: Nouveau

I just installed the proprietary driver from NVidia (version 340.107) but the problem persists.

Actually, I just noted a difference in the log file:

2019-07-10 15:27:23.00 [LOG]      [SDL] Using SDL version: 2.0.9
2019-07-10 15:27:23.00 [ERROR]    [OGL] Could not create OpenGL context: Could not create GL context: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

2019-07-10 15:27:23.00 [FATAL]    [AssertLog] Assertion failed: context_ != nullptr
	Argument null: context_

However the result is the same.

Hey Tryph!
Can you try the following terminal command and share the result here with us?

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"

Thanks!

Please see additional information below, in case it could help debugging:

Ah I see, you graphics card only supports OpenGL 3.3 which is less than the required OpenGL 4.3 which is the minimum required version. Unfortunately your PC does not support the minimum specs. :(

[Tryph]

Ok. I will not buy a new graphic card to play the game (and thus will ask for a refund), but I really appreciate the reactive support :)

It may be a good idea to specify this requirement on the store page ;)

[Box R. Short]

I totally get that! And we'll update the store page to specifically mention the required OpenGL version.

Thank you being so understanding!

I think read somewhere that steam is no longer going to support certain versions of Linux and I believe that Ubuntu is one of them. You the developer might want to look into this and see which Linux versions they are no longer supporting.

Thanks, we will!

[fredreed2000]

It is Ubuntu 19.10 onwards that steam is no longer supporting.

[Box R. Short]

Ah thats because they'll drop support for 32 bit applications. Fortunately Godhood is 64bit only.

[seal2002]

I got the same error and your information is help me a lot
