[SOLVED] Soma crashes at beginning with Arch Linux

[tommy221]

Dear Team and dear community

The game crashes under Arch Linux when starting it:

Code: (Select All)

t@e:/opt/soma/game$ ./Soma.bin.x86_64
process 5753: arguments to dbus_connection_open_private() were incorrect, assertion "address != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 2664.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

PS.: debian jessie runs the game with some graphical glitches. But it works.

Thank you very much & have a nice day.

This is using open source driver isn't it? Please switch to the proprietary driver and try again.

[tommy221]

Hello Jens,

strange: with debian jessie it works with the open source driver.
Anyway - I don't want to use the proprietary driver - so I wait for a fix in mesa or soma

Best regards

The specific crash you are happening I've seen before in another Port I've done. I'll be investigating and reporting back when I have a new build for you to try out.

[tommy221]

Thank you! Please ask me for more information if it helps.

Seems removing the SDL2 lib that came with the game, so you use the system installed SDL2 instead, might fix it. Can you try that? Remove SDL2 from SOMA/lib64/

I can confirm this fixed my problems in Manjaro and Xubuntu 14.04 with the GOG version.

works! Thanks!

Perfect!

Just wanted to log on and say I get this SAME error with Arch (antergos) and I use the Close Drivers (AMD390x).

(will try the fix, cheers)
It worked, however I also didn't have sdl2 libs installed so I got them off the package software.
