Symptom : Creeper world 3 linux steam version crash on mission view
Solution :
Locate CW3Launch (Default location : /home/$username$/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/)
Open with your favorite linux file editor
You will have something like this :
Quote
#!/usr/bin/env bash
GAMENAME="CW3"
ARCH="x86"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./libs/"$ARCH"/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
exec "./"$GAMENAME"."$ARCH "$@"
Replace the line ARCH="X86" with ARCH="x86_64"
only if you are using a X64 linux distribution.
Enjoy your linux creeper world 3
Nice! Thank you.
So the 32 bit version crashes for you, but the 64 bit works?
At what point do you get a crash in the 32 bit version? Is it as soon as you attempt to start the game, or at some point later?
it crashes on planet system view.
Just to clarify, the main menu comes up fine. But when you enter "Arc Eternal", that is when you get a crash in the 32 bit version?
Yes this is exactly that.
please find following the Player.log from ~/.config/unity3d/Knuckle Cracker LLC/Creeper World 3/ (I finally found it)
PS : i tried to upload it but the extension .log is not allowed so i renamed it to player.txt
ERRATTA : The crash concern both the linux steam 32 bits version and the linux standalone 32 bits version. The 64 bits version works.
I am curruntly testing some things.
trying to start the 32 standalone version get this result :
Quote
[exostum_sp@localhost CreeperWorld3]$ ./CW3.x86
./CW3.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The 64 standalone version and the 64 steam version works fine.
After installing libmesaglu i got the crash at the same location than the steam version
Here comes the player.log of the 32 bits linux standalone version
Thanks! closing my support post i jsut created ;-)
Having the same (or very similar) issue here.
Using 64bit Version wont work at all.
System: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 with fglrx driver 13.1
Stacktraces: see Attachment (player.log renamed to player.txt)
Try disabling the steam overlay and see if that helps.
Right click the game in steam, and select properties. There is a checkbox on the General tab to disable the overlay. The crash seems to be coming from the overlay, so this is worth a shot.
If that doesn't work, then you could try the 32 bit version by editing the CW3Launch file.
disabling steam overlay wont help. I've disabled it and tried to start 32bit (my system) and 64bit (as suggested). 64bit wont even bring up the game. I again attached the 32bit player.log - looks like the issue is the same. It seems like its trying to load some 64 bit library, even though I try running the gamer in 32 bit mode. This is the message which suggests that some 64bit component should be used:
Fallback handler could not load library /home/patrick/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono/x86_64/./lib/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Security.so
Run "uname -a" and lets see your results. I'm confused on whether you are running a 64 or 32bit version of ubuntu. Ubuntu 12.04 32bit is the exact same system I test one (but I don't have an ATI graphics card). If you are on 32bit, then nothing 64bit should work. The confusing part is this "/home/patrick/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono/x86_64/".
uname -a:
Linux foobar 3.2.0-60-generic-pae #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19 04:14:56 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm running a different kernel than you, but I doubt that has anything to do with it.
"Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-29-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14 15:31:16 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux"
Other things to check:
1: Make sure you are running with adequate permissions to modify things in ~/.config and ~/Documents
2: Look for these dirs ~/.config/CreeperWorld3 and ~/Documents/creeperworld3. If they don't exit create them. The game tries to create them when it starts. Note the case of each directory (it matters).
3: Try downloading and running the linux demo version (non steam). See if that works or crashes.
4: ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3Launch is the script steam runs to try to start the game. Make sure steam is running, then go to that dir and and run ./CW3.x86, or edit the script file to play with the library path and architectire.
5: Review your graphic drivers to make sure they are current or that the version you are running doesn't have issues with steam games, or games written in Unity.
didnt help.
Quote1: Make sure you are running with adequate permissions to modify things in ~/.config and ~/Documents
I did, both have the right permissions
Quote2: Look for these dirs ~/.config/CreeperWorld3 and ~/Documents/creeperworld3. If they don't exit create them. The game tries to create them when it starts. Note the case of each directory (it matters).
I found the following : ~/.config/creeperworld3 and ~/Documents/creeperworld3, doing this
mv ~/.config/creeperworld3 ~/.config/CreeperWorld3 and tring to start the game didnt help.
Quote3: Try downloading and running the linux demo version (non steam). See if that works or crashes.
I did, result is the same as 4.
Quote4: ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3Launch is the script steam runs to try to start the game. Make sure steam is running, then go to that dir and and run ./CW3.x86, or edit the script file to play with the library path and architectire.
I did, running ./CW3.x86 directly outputs the following, opens a small window for about one seconds, then exits:
Found path: /home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3.x86
Mono path[0] = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono/etc'Quote5: Review your graphic drivers to make sure they are current or that the version you are running doesn't have issues with steam games, or games written in Unity.
Using fglrx graphic drivers. They're not the latest, but stable, other steam games work. Though steam will from time to time insist to get the latest drivers (which will cause not a single game to work)
With all libaries present for x86 and x86_64 I got the same output (only difference the x84_64 ofc):
Found path: /home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3.x86
Mono path[0] = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/x/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Creeper World 3/CW3_Data/Mono/etc'
A small window appears and immediately closes on both versions.
I tried:
./CW3.x84
./CW3.x84_64
./CW3Launch
and modified CW3Launch
Turn off the steam overlay in the steam settings for the game and see if that helps. If not, look for any other permissions issues or errors in the output log ( http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=16476.0 )
The overlay is turned off.
Edit:
I started ./CW3Launch and got this output in player.log:

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================
Do you have the steam client running at the same time you try to start the game? That exception is coming from the ISteamUser_GetSteamID call, which will fail if the steam client isn't running or can't be communicated with. It should just fail and not crash, but....
You can also try to non steam version if you have that. Email me at support@knucklecracker if you don't have the non-steam version.
