Some UI mods do not install themselves in the normal mod folders.

[torrmercury]

Not having a visible menu is normally caused by leftover mods, particularly UI mods.

Thanks for the note. I tried completely removing all mods by unsubing entirely from all mods on Steam. I don't have any installed in other ways. I also uninstalled and reinstalled. None of that has made a difference. Still getting no menu except occasionally.

Edit: Just to make sure I'm being comprehensive: I've also tried removing the folders for all my mods in the extensions folder from the game install as well, but again, it has not made a difference.

Have you done a file integrity check for the game files. Mods could replace those

Yes I have. No difference.

Some UI mods do not install themselves in the normal mod folders.

I deleted the UI folder entirely and reacquired those files. Still didn't help. Any other folders I should try re-acquiring to make sure I purged all mods?

I will note that I have completely uninstalled and re-installed as well, and that also hasn't helped.

I also do NOT have steam cloud save turned on either.

[torrmercury]

I found this in the Known Issues thread:

No menus on starting or reloading Steam game
If on starting or reloading the game everything seems to work apart from having no menus, try switching the game display language in Steam to a different one, run the game, then switch language back and your menus may be restored.

I tried this and it works to get the menu to show up consistently, but it does not fix the underlying issue. At lease we have a workaround now!

7th of November 2026, X4 on GOG, Debian Trixie with an NVidia GTX1660 Ti. Also need to use "./X4 -logfile log.txt" for it to run otherwise I get a black screen slightly shifted away from the border???

This isn't easy to figure out either. I had just about given up and was kinda half arsed browsing through the this forum topic when my eye caught "./X4 -logfile log.txt". Then I thought it was about the Steam version because I couldn't find the X4 executable. I was looking at the start.sh script (which is what the game shortcut refers to) which is a directory higher??? I guess that's a GOG thing I'm not familiar with. "./start.sh -logfile log.txt" does not work b.t.w. This can't be fixed??? is a bit crazy.

[VarSonG]

Can any one ask me on my problem?

You've not really given us much to work with as you've not given any information whatsoever about your system, game version or whether it's modified, all of which is requested in the very first thread at the top of this forum. However, at a guess you are playing with mods installed, and those mods are trying to use too many assets in one game.

Edit: Having found your thread about this it's clearly the above.

As I understand you correctly , you told me that the my problem is - I used too much mods (current 159)? and error not related to issues in mods between them. And problem will not be resolved because it is a limitation of game engine?

Assuming this is a Linux problem cause shader compilation. Getting back to X4 after a few years ! Currently on bazzite (based upon Fedora Kinoite atomic OS). Intel Core I5, 16GB ram, AMD Radeon RX550 GPU, Kernel 6.17.7-ba13.fc43.x86_64 using wayland. After fresh install, run game, shaders are compiled then game starts, at so point after the Egosoft logo the game crashes with the following shader compile error.

8.00 GoG Arch Linux: Resets on opening/closing menus on foot

I recently came back to play the game and found a new problem.

When on foot, every time I do things like:
- open the map/character panel/'Esc' Menu on foot
- Interact with an of-foot character, opening their interaction menu
- Select the ship seat, to sit in it, or press 'Ctrl+D' to leave the seat
- Pause/Resume the game
I get the X4 start screen background for ~ a second. I am just calling this a "graphical reset" for lack of a term. Please check the provided video for the exact behaviour.

This does NOT happen when I:
- open the map/character panel/'Esc' Menu when in the cockpit (in the seat, not standing beside it)
- open the map/character panel/'Esc' Menu when the game is paused

Version related? No.
Although I first checked it on the latest updated version on GoG, I later also checked it on the older installation of 6.20 (511811)

I then checked it on Debian 12 Bookworm, where is was not giving said problem, so maybe something related to new updated libraries?
Knowing this, I tried running it using Steam Linux Runtime (All 4 versions available) by adding it as a non-steam game to Steam. But I still got the 'resets'.
I also tried the same on a new Arch installation on the same PC, but the problem is still there.

The options `-debug all` and `-logfile filename` seem to be making no difference.

I understand that you only support Ubuntu, but it would be good to have anything I can start from, for fixing it on my side.

Doesn't seem like an X4 issue, that's most likely your environment. Sounds like the window size is being (re)set somehow.

You could disable window animations/snapping for whatever window manager/desktop environment you have. Given that you are on Arch, it's hard to give specific advice.
Alternatively you could try the various window/fullscreen options in X4 to see if any of them prevent the window from resizing.

Edit: Do note that X4 doesn't always play nice with Wayland even with the native Linux binaries, and could possibly be related to your issue. To my understanding it's being worked on, but we'll have to wait. In the meantime (if it is the issue) you may be able to mitigate it by running the game in an X11 environment, reconfiguring your Wayland environment, or running the game through gamescope.

[beko]

Got some weird behaviour on Wayland too. Installed Fedora 43 (gnome shell 49.1). Borderless window renders and aligns fine but mouse clicks stop arriving in the game. Works perfectly fine with regular windows with borders. Kinda puzzled.

[ulterno]

Thanks for your responses.

Using KDE Plasma with KWin and I did the following workarounds:

After getting rid of all Panels (TaskBars) on the screen.
Window Rules for X4:
- Allow Tearing = "No"
-- Prevents half of the resets. i.e. resets on menu-close, getting up from the chair and resume from pause; resets in other cases still occur if only this change is made.
- Ignore Requested Geometry = "Yes"
- Size 1919 x 1080
-- 1 less line of pixels to prevent it from taking up the whole screen, prevents the problem of "resets"

In this case, both, Windowed and Borderless Window modes work. You can go with whatever your screen resolution is, minus 1 pixel width or height wise.
Also, in my case, the program won't initialise properly if those rules have been set from the start, so you want to be starting it without the rules set and then enable them around when the main menu appears.

I tried various configurations with focus stealing prevention and Focus Protection, but those didn't seem to make a difference. Neither did "Confine cursor to Window" in X4. Fullscreen doesn't do the trick either.

Seems like KWin has some different behaviour (maybe requests for full screen updates whenever the pointer mode changes) in case the window is taking up the whole screen, regardless of whether it is actually "Fullscreen" and X4 is doing the "reset" whenever it gets such a request.
I also checked in the X11 session and none of those "resets" were occurring in said conditions, so the diagnosis seems on point.

It would be nice to have a Wayland window instead of an XWayland one, considering that SDL 2 is also supporting Wayland.

@beko

I have had a similar problem with Debian 12:
- Interactions were requiring 2x mouse clicks instead of 1
- No sound. Even though there was proper sound with stuff like mpv and Firefox

[beko]

> No sound. Even though there was proper sound with stuff like mpv and Firefox

You could try dropping in your system sound lib and/or check the various sound server environment variables based on your system here.

Also absolutely triple check whether X4 is simply muted on your sound server (e.g. with pavucontrol). This happened more often than I care to admit to me.

[rudi_pioneer]

(not a blocker since quitting game and reopening fixes this, and it's not often)

X4 will slowly fill out GPU memory, and won't even release it when going back to main menu - have to fully quit the game to release the memory. It takes few hours of non-seta gameplay for this to happen. GPU memory use starts at 4-5Gb when game opens, and stutters when filled at +16Gb.

I'm on Kubuntu 25.10 (for latest mesa drivers because my hardware is newish), 9800x3d, AMD Radeon 9070 16Gb.

[CBJ]

You didn't mention it in this thread, but you're using an RX 90x0 series card. There have been several reports of memory filling up with these specific cards, but not with others. That makes it highly likely that this is a driver issue.

[rudi_pioneer]

That's my hope, that one of mesa driver updates will fix memory issue. It's why i switched to non-LTS ubuntu core. Fingers crossed it happens soon. Thanks for confirming it's this graphic card!

Thanks for this information.
Looks like my crashing problem is similar to what is stated in this (I haven't reported the crashing before, because I haven't properly checked it with other Linux versions yet).

___

My specific condition:

System: Desktop: AMD RX 7600 with EndeavourOS (also tested with clean a Arch installation) + KDE Plasma Wayland.

CASE 1:-
- Single GPU (CPU is AMD Ryzen 5800X without iGPU)
- After long hours of play, VRAM eventually fills up and causes a crash. I am unable to report it (even though I get the report in the journal) because I am using overdrive to enable manual fan speed control.
- plasmashell crashes along with it and sometimes the system recovers, other times it doesn't

CASE 2:-
- Added a second GPU (AMD RX 570 - RADV POLARIS10) and plasmashell starts using that one for rendering
- Running X4 on the monitor connected to RX 7600 and the selected GPU in X4 Settings is also RX 7600 - RADV NAVI33
- After long hours of play, VRAM eventually fills up but there's no crash. Instead, it starts taking much longer to load textures, which is the most visible when I teleport to places like Avarice or Xenon areas (assuming I have been playing in ARG, SPL etc areas, with their specific textures). In 1 instance, when this happened, I restarted the program with a save in Avarice and it resumed normal working, until I then went to my HQ which is full of BOR and TER modules. Still doesn't crash though.

Interpretation:
- When X4 starts taking more VRAM, plasmashell and X4 seem to start "fighting" each other for it, causing the crash. This might not be seen on systems with an iGPU (mostly laptops, on which the developers might be testing) because plasmashell would just use the iGPU and let the dGPU be free for X4.


Additionally, when I started using the dual GPU setup (CASE 2), the problem as I stated in post no. 5297833 stopped happening. I no longer required the workaround that I stated in 5298649 and even the "resets" occurring when I Alt+Tab stopped happening. There was another problem of the main menu never starting up, if I Alt+Tabbed or moved my mouse to another screen during the game startup, which also got fixed by CASE 2. So essentially, plasma Wayland is not working nicely with X4 when using a single GPU.
I can't say much more than this without debugging info, so stopping here.

___

Explanation for "taking much longer to load textures":
Sometimes start with no objects visible on teleportation. Only the system's background is visible. Then, the station/ship manages to load. I might still see people without faces (only eyes and teeth) or people without bodies (only head) and similar missing features all over the place.
In this case,, it may take a while to load up all of those, or I might get bored and restart the game.

[xrogaan]

There is something called GART (graphic address remapping table), or more recently GTT (graphic translation table). It allows the graphic card direct memory access to the host system (your RAM). It's used to exchange data through buffer, since your RAM is faster than a drive (hard or solid state). GTT can also be used to expand the amount of video memory available. With the right UEFI setting, your graphic card could use up to half of your RAM. You can check if your system is configured correctly by running the following and comparing the number with your RAM amount: dmesg | grep -i gtt
Or you could run: glxinfo | grep -A30 'Extended renderer info'

Hint: you want that number to be high.

I did notice, when playing X4 for long period of times, that the amount of video memory used grows above the amount of video memory present on my graphic card. Doing so, my system remains stable. Its effect, however, correlate your explanation for "taking much longer to load textures".

I don't know why your system is more stable when running a dual GPU configuration. The "crash", though, is the driver stack failing. So anything that depends on it goes down when it dies. The cause may not be an overfull VRAM, check your logs! (And why is overdrive keeping you from sharing that information?)

[rudi_pioneer]

There's something to this, i'll investigate more. I'm also on wayland.

I've tried another linux machine (framework 13 with eGPU), this one with AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT, and same issue with video memory filling up and not releasing is happening.

So original thought about this being driver issue for new cards doesn't hold water, 7600M definitely isn't new.

[ulterno]

dmesg | grep -i gtt
Or you could run: glxinfo | grep -A30 'Extended renderer info'

Seems like an appropriate value, considering I have 64GB of total RAM and X4 ends up using ~10-11 GB according to htop.

❯ journalctl -b | grep -i gtt

Information from glxinfo matches these values, although I don't know how to make it give info for both the GPUs.

Of course I can share the info, just not reporting as a bug to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues because
