I'm currently on mesa 18 rc4 with a vega 64.

Interesting. Now I haven't really started to debug this, but my game won't even launch on my Vega FE. Just opens and immediately crashes. I'll look and see what's causing it tonight as you've given me hope.

huh, crashes on opensuse tumbleweed with mesa 18. Guess I'll have to give the snap a go.

Dying Light crashes for me on startup, I see a (first glitchy, then black) screen with a loading bar at the bottom, then nothing.

Arch Linux, Radeon RX 580, Mesa 18.0.0-2
Using the linux-steam-integration snap (I symlinked the steamapps folder from my native install to the one from the snap to share my library)

I use the following Launch Options in Steam:

I tried running it with the Steam runtime and with the native libraries, same result.

The crash log looks like this:

It looked to me like some people on Arch Linux got it running, is there anything else I could try?
sr_ls_boy Apr 11, 2018
Have you tried the 'lspci' trick a few pages back?
DreamArch Apr 12, 2018
Same problem, Arch guy. I'm on XUbuntu 18.04 BTW. All the launch options, steam, ldd shows all dependencies. What the fuck, Dying Light?
bonparaara Apr 21, 2018
Have you tried the 'lspci' trick a few pages back?

lspci is already in /usr/bin.
Also, /bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin are all symlinks to /usr/bin

I don't think that's the problem.
devland May 2, 2018
Dying Light doesn't work on Ubuntu 18.04. I've tested it in the kubuntu variant and I got the same libc segmentation fault error from when I tried running it in Antergos.

Oh good. Maybe Techland will actually care enough to do something about the problematic dependencies this time. System requirements say "Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and newer recommended", which means 18.04 is a supported platform.
nox May 2, 2018
I think I sent them a ticket regarding the game now being broken on Ubuntu 18.04... Their support form didn't really give me much information after I clicked submit, but we'll see..

EDIT: Got a ticket number now. Woo.
nox May 2, 2018
"
Thank you for your feedback, it has been passed to our dev team. Keep in mind that some features might not be implemented in our game.

Feel free to share your thoughts on our forum as well to help us improve the game further:
http://forum.techland.pl/forum/8-general-discussions

Best Regards
Techland Support"

I sent an email to them as I wonder what they mean about "features might not be implemented". Hopefully it's just a badly chosen copy-paste reply, but the game working on a distribution they officially support isn't a feature... :P
sr_ls_boy May 3, 2018
That's a form letter. I've seen that before.
nox May 3, 2018
I wonder if there is any way to contact their devs instead of the pure support desk? According to their support email they cannot answer anything for the devs, so I'm just getting copy-paste answers. @Liam?
nox May 4, 2018
Well, their support is a rather frustrating experience. Apparently I'm misunderstanding what support for "Ubuntu 14.04 and newer" means: "Not every 'higher than 14.04 version' will work".

They also recommend installing Ubuntu 16.04 due to its LTS status, without saying anything about 18.04s LTS status.
nox May 4, 2018
Anyone on NVIDIA + 18.04 experiencing any issues or is it purely AMD still?
chui2ch May 4, 2018
I can't speak for 18.04, but it does work on Solus with Nvidia. I also know that by buddy has an RX 480, and it did not work on Solus. He also had the same problem on 18.04, and Arch.

Well, your entries go to the TechSupport team. This answer is automatic, everyone will get it. If techsupport considers report to be a real bug in the game, then it submits this ticket to the developers (that's how techland works and many other large AAA game developers.)

Forget about direct contact with developers. Especially with those responsible for Linux. Already enough hate appeared on reddit, facebook and other places that I think, they would like to not give direct contact to be muddy by the Linux community, as was the case in other cases.

hi,


i upgraded to 18.04 (gnome) with GTX 1070 driver 396.24 kernel 4.15.18 the game start fine.
i want to swap my gtx 1070 with my rx480 with latest mesa to test.
i was on manjaro with the rx480 and the game won't launch, but i don't know why ?
jo3fis May 19, 2018
Anyone have luck with Ubuntu 18.04 w/AMD Mesa. Have tried multiple PPAs and also the Steam Snap but to no avail. Game loads to the black loading screen and white bar moves across to 100% then hangs before CTD.

I get the below error.

Anyone have luck with Ubuntu 18.04 w/AMD Mesa. Have tried multiple PPAs and also the Steam Snap but to no avail. Game loads to the black loading screen and white bar moves across to 100% then hangs before CTD.

I get the below error.

Indeed, same issue here. Their support haven't been helpful either, so I've given up on it.

I haven't been successful at getting an answer from their devs either. Their support team say they would get back to me, but no luck so far.
