When you say it "crashes", what exactly happens? The above log does not look unusual. I know that I *thought* the game had crashed initially but it just took a while to load (probably takes longer the first time through).

It takes me back to desktop with Resolution 800x600. I find the log not very unusual myself. But thats all I get.

Can you get a backtrace of the crash?
to do this make sure you have "gdb" installed on your system. Then run

Code: (Select All)

ulimit -c unlimited
./penumbra

Then recreate the crash and run

Code: (Select All)

ls core.*
gdb ./penumbra.bin core.12345

instead of 12345 put the full name of the core file created by penumbra.bin.

then type inside of GDB.

Code: (Select All)

thread apply all bt full

And post the contents to this forum thread and I will track down the issue.

I hope that will help solve the problem. I am using the demo version 1.0.1a.

[Capitán Centollo]

I have purchased the game just after finishing the demo, and when i start a new game it crashes after the intro.

The game version is 1.0.679

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon amd64, i have an ATI X1900XT 512Mb and the latest drivers (8.42.3) and i have installed all the needed 32 libraries and made the .asoundrc file for solving the crackly sound problem.

this is the game output after crash:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Penumbra exited unexpectedly, please check
/home/javier/.frictionalgames/Penumbra Overture/Episode1/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

Here is my hpl.log: [attachment=364]

This is the output of the command ldd penumbra.bin: [attachment=365]

And this is my xorg.conf file: [attachment=366]

Can you help me, please?

[Capitán Centollo]

In my case the error occurs only when i turn on the shadows, but now i have another error, when i press ESC to open the main menu the mouse freezes and the keybord doesn't work, so i have to reinitiate the X server by pressing Ctrl + Atl + Backspace. ¿Any idea of what's wrong?

Also, if i put the shaders option anything better than "Very Low" the game has a lot of graphics glitches.

I am having the exact same problems as Capitan Centollo. I am running Ubuntu Gutys amd64 with an ATI HD2400Pro 256 MB. The game isn't really playable with no shadows and with all the graphical glitches. I am using the latest fglrx ati driver (8.3). Any help would be appreciated.

The graphical glitches seem to be fixed in fglrx 8.4 but the game still crashes when starting or loading a game with shadows enabled. It's very playable now though.
