X³: Reunion - Linux support thread

[ColonelPanic]

I'm afraid I'm getting the same crashes in TC as well . Uploaded another core dump here.

@Link6746
On linux to launch something that isn't visible through the PATH environment variable you need to give an absolute or relative path.
So try:
./X3TC_main
and
primusrun ./X3TC_main

Of course do that from the game folder so first do:
cd "~/.SteamLibrary/common/X3 Terran Conflict"
or
cd ~/.SteamLibrary/common/X3\ Terran\ Conflict

@ColonelPanic
Ok downloading and I'll see what I can conclude.
Can you also try running just ./X3TC_main from the console and uploading the last 500 lines output?
You'll see a bunch of weird/scary messages so don't be surprised.
Normally all of them are harmless and unfortunately useless but sometimes there's something helpful.

I've uploaded the output of X3TC_main here. I didn't cut the output to 500 lines, just in case any of it was useful (and there are a TON of lines which are close to the same thing so they fill up most of the log), but TC only lasts a couple of minutes before crashing out so there's only about 2500 lines there anyway. Hopefully you can find something useful .

I've reinstalled Linux Mint to latest release (17).
And now cant play X3 Terran Conflict from Steam.
I think I need to install some additional packets, but don't know what I need.

When I start game I see:

I cant tune graphics:

Could anybody help me?

I have the same problem with X3 reunion. Starting the config manually works fine.
OS Linux Mint 17.1
Nvidia proprietary 331.113

EDIT: when running "./test_X3R_config > test_log 2" inside steam it shows quite some errors. it doesnt do that when running directly
http://pastebin.com/ui7i2BPh
EDIT2: since the log shows how it could not decode the svg files properly i tried another gtk theme which is a little older and it works.
Also i am using the cinnamon version of linux mint and the bugged theme is Mint-X. The working one is Adwaita. These themes are for buttons and things like that. Not icon themes.

[jug007]

Could somebody tell me how to make the mouse pointer slower?
X3 Reunion makes the cursor REALLY fast which makes aiming almost impossible even with fighting software. I tried configuring the xinput, but this does not have any effect on the game. The setting takes effect on other steam games though.

[jug007]

Would you guys at least tell us why you take so long to reply?
I bought the game on a whim, now its on sale and i still cannot play it.

[timon37]

@jug007 sorry I actually tried replying two times but there's this annoying forum bug where sometimes you can't post. Later I had way too much on my hands.

Regarding the mouse speed I honestly have no clue, we're just using SDL2 so we aren't doing anything special. I don't think there is any in-game sensitivity setting so I'd have to implement something custom.
Can you try running in windowed and fullscreen mode to see if it changes anything?

[jug007]

Window mode actually makes the cursor slower and smoother in menu. (moves just as on my desktop)
Ingame (when piloting) the cursor is quite "stuttery" again. I didn't notice any difference between fullscreen and windowed mode.

The movement seems obviously multiplied. When moving my mouse as low as possible, the crosshair moves ~5 pixel. On my desktop it only moves 1 pixel.

I also tried fiddling with sdl2 variables but this didn't help. Trying to use mouse accelleration with sdl (just for testing) also makes the crosshair move weard at higher speeds. It it looks like the speed of the crosshair drops at a certain point of speed, as if the game and the driver had different settings for acceleration.

The command I used for setting the mouse accelleration looks like this:

Code: Select all

SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0 SDL_VIDEO_X11_MOUSEACCEL=6/1/0 ./X3R_config

Hi

Bought X3 reunion on the steam sale this weekend. It crashes a lot unfortunately. Most of the crashes have had this log message:

======================================
/home/steam/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/X3 - Reunion/testandlaunch: line 31: 20938 Floating point exception./$1
Game removed: AppID 2810 "X3: Reunion", ProcID 20938

If typically happens when cycling through ships/stations with the mouse wheel.

OS: Linux Mint 17
CPU: Intel Haswell
GFX: Nvidia 670 with 340.76 drivers.

Game version: The on steam of March 16, 2015.

Occasionally, it will crash if hitting escape during a mission overview movie. But I can just let it run, but it would be nice to be able to skip it.


Further stuff from the log:

Since this is Linux that path is definitely wrong . It is probably a hardcoded path somewhere (and likely not critical).

Similarly, there are some other path issue:

======================================

And occasionally stuff like this:

Thanks for any help.

@jug007

Just had a thought, you're just using a normal mouse connected directly to the machine right?
If you're using synergy or other keyboard/mouse sharing software, it won't work.
No idea why but when sdl2 grabs the mouse the movement goes crazy.

[jug007]

I use a logitech mouse with unify, so I tried a non unify mouse and the effect is still the same. The game is more playable with this mouse but thats just because of the friction. The movement ingame is still quite fast.

It might also be of interest that slowing the mouse via xinput does not work normally. It dies seem a little bit slower, but not as slow as it should be. When dividing mouse movement with 70 the movement ingame still locks like only halved.

Hi,

I'm running:
- Arch Linux (currently 3.14.36 LTS kernel, always updating the system)
- VGA: Radeon HD 6670
- using the AMD Catalyst driver https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst

X3 Reunion purchased & installed via Steam client.
So far the game was running fine, very occasionally some crash back to desktop, which I could live with.

Recently I decided to finish the main storyline in the game, where I noticed a strange thing in so called tunnels:
- "Pleasure Complex" tunnel in "Teladi Gain" - http://www.argonopedia.org/wiki/Reunion#Find_the_Girl
or
- asteroid tunnel in "Nyana's Hideout" - http://www.argonopedia.org/wiki/Reunion ... _Revisited
Where I found myself in quite a distance and in a blank/dark space far from those tunnels.
I could manage those two, simply by flying to them, and entering the tunnels on their ends.
And also I didn't cared much that time about this small tunnel issue, that I was placed far away from it.


But now I'm at the final mission "Proof of Innocence":
- tunnel to Earth in "Heretics End" - http://www.argonopedia.org/wiki/Reunion ... _Innocence
I finished fighting with the Kha'aks, and the story continues, where the "Paranid Crystal Splitter Fab" (screenshot: http://www.ulozto.net/xmyNzdvo/x3r-linu ... ble-01-jpg) is suddenly being moved by the Sargon being to the formed tunnel (ending at Earth).
And I have the same tunnel issue (myself placed very far from the tunnel itself in blank/dark space), but this time there is a time limit for the action.
I can also target the tunnel, and at various game loads it shows different distance (50-150km).
Screenshot: http://www.ulozto.net/xDvNo3bD/x3r-linu ... ble-02-jpg # (that soft blue line in distance of the screenshot is that jump tunnel I'm supposed to be in).
And especially this time limit is making it impossible to reach the tunnel in time and finish the mission/game.



May I ask for your assistance, advice & help with this problem, please?

Can you send me a savegame (email in first post)?

Sure, but even after compressing it, it's still 12.5MB large, too big for email, I think.
But here you go: http://ulozto.net/xE4nFA87/x04-sav

Thank you.

I just purchased the X3 Gold 2011 - X3TC and X3AP and X3R Bundle Retail from Steam. I can't play the game at any length without it crashing. At first when pushing the period button the game would go away, and I would have to start it again. Now the game graphics just partially go away a bit after being docked, can't make anything out. And at one time the game performance started to visibly go away, jerky and slow.

How can I get help so I can play the game?

[timon37]

@kumita

Does this only happen to X3R or did you try TC/AP as well?
Can you also paste Steams "System Information" (it's in the help menu).
Roughly how long before any issues happen (e.g. 5min, 30min, a few hours), and is it consistent or does it sometimes happen much quicker?

[timon37]

@dv.underworld

Sorry for the lack of a reply. You have some mods right? Can you roughly list them?
For me the game completely hangs after npcs finish talking.

[kumita]

I have tried it on all three default installs from Steam. Errors are the same in order.
First game after install,
Period crashes the game.
Game just decides to crash.
Graphics go bad after a bit.

Is there a debugging option or an error.log attached to the game?

[timon37]

The game just outputs the messages to the terminal. Probably the easiest way will be to quit steam, launch a terminal, execute "steam -console" and launch the game, then you should get the output log in that terminal (paste for me the last 500 lines or so).

Alternatively and this is also a valuable test, you can try running the game directly from the terminal, quit steam, open a terminal and go to the game folder usually "cd ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/X3\ -\ Reunion/", and execute "./X3R_config" or "./X3R_main".
