[Fixed, needs testing] Dying Light refuses to launch
Page: 1/16»
  Go to:
skyrrd May 30, 2017
Like already written in the comments of recent Dying Light news i'm unable to launch the game no matter what.

About my setup:

i5 4690S
r9 290
16gb ram
games on seperate ext4 partition

I'm running Gentoo 64bit with 4.11 kernel and amdgpu kernel module.
Mesa, LLVM and LibDRM are all -9999 (git/dev versions)
I have installed Steam via overlay and already run esteam to install dependencies.
I don't have this issue with other games.

What happens:

When launching the game with "MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%" from steam there is a short flash of a corrupted windows (approx. the size of graphics driver waring without override or the logo) then nothing happens, but Dying Light is still listed as running.

terminal output:

i am really puzzled what else i could try and would be happy if someone could help ;)
sr_ls_boy May 31, 2017
What version of LLVM are you running?


EDIT: I haven't had much luck getting the game to work either.
I have done exactly what you have done and get the same output.
That 'short flash of a corrupted window' is suppose to be the
Dying Light logo. But it's corrupted for me as well. When you
start the game, two processes with two separate PID's start
running. One time, I happen to kill the right one and the
game popped up.

By trial and error,uh..,or hit or miss, the game will work.
But the main menu is so graphically corrupt for me that I
can't even start a game.
skyrrd May 31, 2017
This sounds very interesting. Will try it sometime.

Should be llvm-4
sr_ls_boy May 31, 2017
Where are you finding these crash logs?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found them.
This from my logs. Mesa isn't reporting any video memory.

Maybe there is an override reporting video memory.

I filed a mesa bug report.
g000h Jun 1, 2017
Just been testing and my Dying Light is working fine (Nvidia closed source binary).
sr_ls_boy Jun 1, 2017
I posted a working nvidia log.
sr_ls_boy Jun 2, 2017
DL Works on Ubuntu with Mesa. I can only look
at the logs and compare them with my favorite
linux distro(Linux from Scratch). I'd really
would like to try and fix this rather than
use Ubuntu.


This is a splicing of LFS & Ubuntu.
Two things: Ubuntu reports zero video memory
as well. Ubuntu correctly id's my video cards
pciid as [0x1002:0x67ef]. But nvidia also gives
[0x0001:0x0002].

Spoiler, click me

> MajorVersionDetected=4 MinorVersionDetected=5
> Extension ARB_debug_output is supported
> Extension ARB_blend_func_extended is supported
> Video memory detected: 0 [MB]!

<seg fault occurs here>

some additional lines dumped after the fault
> GPU's vendor id: 1 [0x0001]; GPU's device id: 2 [0x0002].
> Shader binary dir = 4_5_Core_Profile_Mesa_17_2_0-devel_git-55d1550d35_.
> GL_UNIFORM_BUFFER_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT = 4
> GL_MAX_UNIFORM_BLOCK_SIZE = 65536



Ubuntu continues on with these extra lines not in my log

> Texture streaming lowest priority distance set to 100m
> [SDL::WindowMode] Current SwapInterval: 1
> [SDL::SetWindowMode] Setting no vsync resulted in: 0 SDL_GetError:
> [SDL::WindowMode] Current SwapInterval: 0
> [SDL] Resizing window to 1600x900 f:1 v:0
> Texture streaming buffer set to 400MB


Ubuntu also gives different gpu id's
GPU's vendor id: 4098 [0x1002] not 1
GPU's device id: 26607 [0x67ef] and not 2

The steam console with mesa debugging turned up
some interesting lines.

Spoiler, click me

Steam: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 40 (X_TranslateCoords)
Resource id in failed request: 0x1000fce
Serial number of failed request: 25757
xerror_handler: X failed, continuing

.Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_OPERATION in unsupported function called (unsupported extension or deprecated function?)
Mesa: 4 similar GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_ENUM in glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
Mesa: User error: GL_INVALID_ENUM in glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)

So, after all of that, I still don't know anything.
I'm at a loss to explain this. I can't even be sure
that this is a mesa-related problem at all or
something else. All other games run fine in Mesa.

My specs:

i had the same issue, to fix it i emerged steam-meta and run it.
steam meta installed and downgraded some packages (including glew) this fixed it for me.
sr_ls_boy Jun 2, 2017
I'm not using gentoo. I don't really know what steam-meta is. Is it the steam bootstrapper?
Is it an executable? Is it a set of system libraries?

'skyrrd' if you do follow this hint, make note of which libraries are installed when emerging.


I ran this inside the DL game folder:
find -name "*.so" -exec ldd {} \; | grep not | sort -u
Then I just pulled some libraries from the steam runtime and placed in my system folder.
