Game crashes after Gamma settings

[Romulator]

Don't know why, but someone keeps putting problem solved on this post while it is not.

Game always crashes when I try to start it. Changing files didn't help and this is getting a bit frustratingad:

One of the forum features is that guests, for whatever reason, can mark posts as solutions, if the original poster is not a registered user. It's one of the main features I dislike.

Alright so, I went through the main_settings.cfg file. This file should be located in the same folder as your hpl.log file. Make a copy of your main_settings.cfg file to serve as a backup, and then you can either edit the original file, or copypaste the below. Really all that I have changed is in the first section; namely the ShowMenu, ExitMenuDirectly, and ShowPreMenu booleans. I also changed the resolution near the bottom to suit yours.

Spoiler below!

PHP Code: (Select All)

<Main ShowMenu="false" ExitMenuDirectly="true" SaveConfig="true" DefaultProfileName="dev_user" UpdateLogActive="false" LoadDebugMenu="false" StartLanguage="english.lang" ScreenShotExt="jpg" ForceCacheLoadingAndSkipSaving="true" ShowPreMenu="false" />
<Graphics TextureQuality="0" TextureFilter="1" TextureAnisotropy="0.000000" Gamma="0.850000" Shadows="1" SSAOActive="true" SSAOSamples="8" GBufferType="0" NumOfGBufferTextures="3" OcclusionTestLights="true" SSAOResolution="0" WorldReflection="true" Refraction="true" ShadowsActive="true" ShadowQuality="1" ShadowResolution="2" ParallaxQuality="0" ParallaxEnabled="true" EdgeSmooth="false" ForceShaderModel3And4Off="false" PostEffectBloom="true" PostEffectImageTrail="true" PostEffectSepia="true" PostEffectRadialBlur="true" PostEffectColorGrading="true" PostEffectInfection="true" />
<Engine LimitFPS="true" MaxFramesPerSec="60" SleepWhenOutOfFocus="true" />
<Screen Width="1920" Height="1080" FullScreen="true" Vsync="true" AdaptiveVsync="true" Display="0" />
<Physics PhysicsAccuracy="2" UpdatesPerSec="60.000000" />
<Sound MaxChannels="48" StreamBuffers="4" StreamBufferSize="32768" Device="0" Volume="1.000000" />
<MapLoad FastPhysicsLoad="false" FastStaticLoad="false" FastEntityLoad="false" /> 


(sorry about the lack of word wrapping if it doesn't do so)

Basically, what the above will do is force the game to run the first map. This is a temporary solution since doing so will likely render loading a saved file impossible - but it is just to pinpoint whether the menu is the issue, or if there is something more, perhaps even with Ubuntu.

I also recommend running the AAMFP Launcher the same way you did to alter the graphics features to your liking (since my personalized settings may differ to yours), since the middle sector of the main_settings.cfg will alter your previous settings.

Give it a shot, and let me know how it goes!
