wow thank you very much for your help.
i didn't realize that i haven't checked this thread for so long.

Quoting: blendi-93i 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.
what overlay are you using for steam?
what versions did you downgrade "some packages" to?

Quoting: sr_ls_boyI'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.
That allowed me to run the game without using steam runtime but it didn't fix the crash.

Your script points at libcurl-gnutls.so.4, so nothing really new but i will try to pull that one from runtimes and try to launch the game with system runtimes.

You could say meta-packages install the base-packages + some usefull or required additions.

I thought STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 was the default behavior? Or did that change lately?
Anyways. Might give it a shot as well;-)

Did anyone manage to get it working on AMD with mesa?
This appears to be an AMD GPU only issue that happens only on mesa. From what I've managed to search online, it works if you use amdgpu-pro.

Since I have been here I have a new Ryzen based build. I also built a Cross-LFS with
glibc 2.25 linux install, from the ground up. Nothing has changed for me. Those, using
source based distros sans systemd, who cannot get the game to work probably never will.

There is something odd going on here and we are getting no help from Techland.


QuoteYour script points at libcurl-gnutls.so.4...

?

EDIT: Oh, I see now.
I get it too. I have curl & gnutls but not both together in one library.
Also have version conflicts with libpng.

On the other hand, I keep an Ubuntu install allways handy. The game works with Ubuntu/Mesa.
But I encountered some graphical gitches with the main menu that I shut the game down.
skyrrd Sep 26, 2017
Just some update: when starting steam without steam-runtime (installed or copied all necessary libraries) i dont get an library error with dying light but something about x window error

Everything else that i tried since works with this setup (e.g. deus ex, tomb raider, black mesa, etc...)

I hope i can track down the issue any further.
sr_ls_boy Sep 26, 2017
GDB might help. I tried to runt the game without the steam runtime. It
started several threads that I don't know how to hook in to.

Can anyone give a quick primer in tracing a process that starts multiple
threads?
sr_ls_boy Sep 26, 2017
This is my first backtrace. It just mirrors what is in my dying light logs.
pthread_join.c:45 is a part of glibc sources.

This is the matching source lines from the frames leading up to the seg fault.
I compiled glibc-2.25 & mesa 17.2.1 from the tarballs with debugging symbols.

To be honest i have no idea what i should be looking for... but ill try to figure it out anyway :P
sr_ls_boy Sep 26, 2017
John Brooks might be able to help. He might recognize this.

Any way, anyone out there good with GDB?

I wanted to chime in on this and say I am having problems lauching Dying Light on Arch after some update. I haven't played in a few months, previously I had played 27 hours.

I don't get any errors when running it from the terminal and there are not logs at all in DW/out.

I've spent maybe 3 hours so far trying to find a solution to this

Although I am not running mesa, I am running NVIDIA blobs 387.12 and a GTX 970
