Penumbra Overture Demo crashes on startup. - Janek566 - 12-01-2011

Hello

The problem I'm facing is as follows: if i run the game from a launcher the resolution changes to lower and nothing happens. If i run it through terminal then i also get the changed resolution and an error message about libasound... I deleted a library from lib and installed devel package for openal. I already have the library itself but the problem still persists. Now i get the following message:

Code:
(0) : fatal error C9999: *** exception during compilation ***

Cg compiler terminated due to fatal error./penumbrademo: line 9: 10052 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./penumbrademo.bin "$@"

Penumbra: Overture exited unexpectedly, please check

/home/janek/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/hpl.log

for any error messages

Also try running

ulimit -c unlimited

And re-running Penumbra and try and recreate the error

then submit the generated core file or stack trace

[janek@JanekFedora PenumbraOvertureDemo]$

and my system:

Code:
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9600M GT] (rev a1)

Code:
Linux JanekFedora 3.1.2-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 08:56:28 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: also here's the log file:

if you look at the end of the file it initializes OpenAL and then fails to open an audio device...

Did you remove the libopenal from the game's lib directory as well?

What libraries do you still hvae in that folder? Ideally if you can replace as many of those as possible with your system versions the game will work better on recent linux distributions.

yeah i could replace all/most of them. Does that mean just removing the libraries from lib and installing new ones or do i have to do something else? Thanks

RE: Penumbra Overture Demo crashes on startup. - Janek566 - 12-03-2011

should i just install all of the libraries to my system and then remove all of the ones the game provides? Would that solve the issue?

RE: Penumbra Overture Demo crashes on startup. - Urkle - 12-03-2011

Yes.. it does seem the resolve the issue in recent distributions
