Linux support thread

[radcapricorn]

I can't compute that. Why did you then make a Linux version for GoG? If there was no "demand" for running the game without Steam...

If you add a feature for one build, there has to be a reason to not add that feature to another build, besides "no one's asked for it".

We're going in circles. As it stands right now, having bought the game on Steam, and having spent about 300 hours beta-testing it (as Linux version was in beta for a long, long time), the only way for me to play without Steam would be to... buy again, on GoG, is that correct? And at the same time, a Windows player won't have to do that? Don't you think it's "a little bit" unfair?

I click the 3 installers in order. I have the game running. I have 'Pulse Volume Audio Control' loaded. I had a similar problem with VLC media player. I just changed the output channel to the right device, config device - hdmi1 - monitor sound. Then switched the device on the running program.

I click on the desktop icon 'X Rebirth". Then I do alt-tab and Launch PAV.

I can't switch the device on the running program. PAV won't change it. There is no method to change the device within the app.

Need help. Thanks.

Does does the GOG version require superuser mode?

(mojosetup:5139): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine", What needs to be installed?

EDIT: I found and installed the package that was needed.


FYI, I got the same no sound problem on linux.

Xbox 360 wireless controller no longer works. No buttons work neither in menus nor in game. It did work flawlessly a year or so ago on this exact same machine.

If you move your your mouse around so the cursors becomes visible and then press any button on the gamepad the cursor disappears, this leads me to believe the game does pickup the controller inputs but fails to do anything with them.

Game is vanilla with all mods disabled.

Tried forcing the game to use system SDL:

Code: Select all

X Rebirth $  mv lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0--

This didn't help.

Launching with --debugfile didn't produce anything interesting:

Given the xml parsing errors tried using system libXML:

This didn't help either.

"a year or so ago on this exact same machine." How exactly the same? There must have been device driver or OS updates in a year or so. Obviously something has changed since but the gamefiles were indeed last updated 18 months ago (v 4.30) that included:

• Improved input mapping options (NOTE: some input profiles, especially for joysticks, may need to be reset).
• Replaced gamepad controls menu with auto targeting menu..

I'm using 'OPENSUSE 15.1 - 64 bit'. I have all system requirements. Installed in normal user mode.

After running the first time, XR said it needed package 'murine'. I found and installed it. Now, get these errors. All the GFX work, but there is no sound.

It's mentioning that XR can't install folders and files to the home directory. The paths include '\n'. ??

X:Rebirth BUG: Dual T.16000M Flightsticks Naming Conflict.
OS: Arch Linux
VN: Steam Native

The game will initially detect 2 flightsticks and place them on slots 1 and 2. If this slot arrangement is modified in any way one of the flightsticks vanishes from the config and becomes unusable, even though still featured in the dropdown list, attemting to assign either controller to any slot will remove all controllers from all other slots.

This is a minor bug as the default allows me to map both flightsticks and use them providing I never touch the slot assignment page. The problem is much more severe for me in X4 where the second stick is not detected at all.
