Live on Steam!

[shallowthought]

Hi guys.

Just tried to install this on Linux through Steam but it doesn't seem to run.

System is:
Linux (Mint 17, kernel is: GNU/Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64)
Nvidia Geforce 8200M G
Screen resolution is 1366x768 (no dual monitors or anything going on)

Command line output from running the executable (in spoilers to keep this post short):

Tried both with and without libglfw2 installed, no luck either way.

Any idea what I need to do to fix this? And is there any other info I can give you to help diagnose the issue?

Thanks!

shallowthought - sorry that you are having this issue. We have now built Battleforce per the Steam documentation to rely on the Steam runtime and to remove the additional requirement of GLFW2. We are testing the game on 10 standard Linux distributions with every build.

That said, every distro and build of Linux is different, and some users are hitting snags.

One of the errors in the list ... "ExecSteamURL: "steam://open/driverhelperready" ... I see a lot of people referncing "update your video drivers" on the internet to fix this problem.

Cory is the guru here, so I am just shooting at fish and will await his post.

[shallowthought]

Thanks for the update, fallen.

I'll look and see if there are any updates I can install tomorrow and report back.

[shallowthought]

Well I've got it working. But not in a nice way...

I checked for driver updates, I was already using the recommended versions, but upgraded to the 346-updates one to see if that would work; no change so rolled back to the 346 version.

The error seemed to be coming from the libcocos2d library. You use this for heroes of steel, which works fine. So I copied the .so file out of the HoS installation to overwrite the one in the battleforce install directory. This got it running. However, I suspect it'll break every time you push out an update. I'll let future me deal with that though, off to give it a play.

Edit - Happy birthday Cory!

Thank you for the information -- this is very interesting data. Sorry that you upgraded past the stable drivers, I wasn't trying to push that.

We will investigate and see if we can get it working. Yes, at this point I think every update will break your setup, unless we are able to get it working.

Remind me again -- 32-bit or 64-bit?

[shallowthought]

Hi fallen, thanks for the update.

Trying the unstable drivers is easy enough in Mint, they're an option in the driver manager thing. And it's easy enough to roll back. Just thought I'd give them a try.

This is on a 64 bit computer with Nvidia Geforce 8200M G.

[fallen]

Ok, thank you for the details. I will work with Cory to see what we can figure out.

You didn't have to move any other .so files?

[shallowthought]

No, just swapped the libcocos2d one out and it's been running fine.

[Cory Trese]

Can you try the latest build and see if the included libcocos2d works?

[shallowthought]

Hi Cory.

Just did a "verify local content" and the game is running fine now, version 1.1.27. Good work, I'll be sure to leave a positive review. Loving the game so far!
