Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit Jaunty. Penumbra crashing before, and after menu loads. - moods737 - 07-20-2009

Hi all,

I purchased this collection of games this weekend, but I'm having a little trouble getting them to work. It's been crashing before and after the menu loads. It seems pretty random on which time it'll do it.

Here is the output of the hpl.log file. It looks like the graphics is failing on something:

I saw that I need the 32 bit libraries installed, so I installed them before installing the game. Here is the command I ran:

Quote:sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Here are my specs:
MSI Laptop
Core 2 duo 2.16 ghz
ATI Mobile Radeon HD 4670
4 gigs of RAM
320 gig HD.
OS Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64 bit.

Here is the config for overture (I've tried various resolutions both full screen and window):

I'm not sure what else to try. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me know what else you need.

Are you using the latest drivers available for the ATI card?
Is xserver screen depth set to 24 or 32 bit, Penumbra won't work with if 16?
Is 1024*768 the same resolution as your desktop? Try matching the game settings to the desktop resolution before running the game.
run glxinfo | grep and check it Direct rendering says yes
