Segmentation Fault

[Joy Dragon]

I can't seem to run the game, and as you say it should be pretty straightforward.
I'm a Linux user, and I downloaded/extracted all the sources of the game.
At first I had a weird compiling problem, with the line 43 in HPL1Engine pack, the include on the sources/impl/GLee.c. So I changed it to <GL/GLee.h>, and it was al right.
After that I can get to the 100% in the compiling stage and I get the damn "Segmentation Fault".
Can you tell me what's the problem, how can I find it, or if you can replicate it?

Thanks a lot

You get a segmentation fault when compiling?

Or when running the game? Did you run the compiled binary from the overture install directory?

[Joy Dragon]

Sorry, the segmentation fault is when running the game
I compile everything with no problems
And when trying to run the "overture.bin" one of two things can happen:
1) It does nothing and just pop the Segmentation Fault
2) Try to change the resolution, some black screens and then just shows the same segmentation fault

Hope you can help me
Thanks

Same here

I am using ubuntu 10.04 32 bit.
I get the following with gdb:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x085f534e in cLowLevelSystemSDL (this=0x8a4a9f0) at /media/79a07884-5e89-4b38-a921-08441366d872/FrictionalGames/OvertureSource/HPL1Engine/sources/impl/LowLevelSystemSDL.cpp:159

The pointer to mpScriptEngine seems to be null.

Just to add for my problem... I found the hpl log ( ~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/hpl.log)
and its the following

So it might be a video card problem?
I have an Intel GMA 4500MHD
Is that it?

Thanks

[Urkle]

by the fact that it can't find PointLight2D looks like you aren't running the binary from the install directory, and Yes the Intel GMA's are not supported.

Anyways, just run the game via the debugger and see where it's crashing.. It might be good to edit the settings.cfg to set the game into windowed mode (FullScreen="false") And to temporarily change the cLowLevelInputSDL::LockInput() function to NEVER grab the input (so you can release the mouse from the game and debug)
