Braid is not working on 64 bits, that's the only game that I want.

gregmits · 2010-12-15 02:53:32

Any ideas on how to make a PKGBUILD for Braid?

Hello guys,
how are the games working for you? I've just tried some of them, and have some problems:

(i686, running [testing] & [kde-unstable] so this might be cause of some problems..)

*Osmos:

./Osmos
./Osmos.bin32: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

pacman -S openal helps it,

but anyway :
[marek@beruska Osmos]$ ./Osmos

To help fix this problem make sure you are running the newest version of your video drivers.
Lastly, you could try running this game with the -windowed command-line option.

*RevengeOfTheTitans:
I think i had to add some simlinks to libraries (too new in arch) for instalation, but removed them and now the game works fine

*Machinarium:
plays nicely out fo the box

that's my review, merry Christmas

@mmm.ai: I don't know about openal with Osmos, but the font problem seems to be a known problem. There are workarounds, but I haven't tested it.

Braid needs a OpenGL 3.x video card + proprietary drivers (AMD/Ati or Nvidia). Some said, it works in Wine (the Windows version).

I have a problem with RevengeOfTheTitans, because I can not "interact" with the game. Can't type and the mouse doesn't work either. [EDIT: Looks like iBus is the "problem" here, though the game crashes, before I can play it (and that's not iBus' fault)].

Also that CC game doesn't start. Searches for libssl 0.9.8, but Arch Linux is on 1.0.0. Maybe I have to symlink (what I usually don't do).

Braid can work with free drivers (even Nouveau), but since Braid relies on patented S3TC and free drivers don't provide its open implementation by default, you must install an external library : libtxc_dxtn and its lib32 counterpart in the AUR.

I'm actually working on a PKGBUILD for Braid.

r6 · 2010-12-15 14:53:13

Braid not working for me. Same error as mmm.ai.

Game Startup Error: Unable to set up graphics.
Reason: Failed to initialize OpenGL display.

intgr · 2010-12-15 18:01:33

I'm using open source Radeon drivers on two machines (one Radeon HD4200/RS880 and another HD4870/RV770).
After installing and running Braid I got the error "Game Startup Error: Unable to set up graphics. Reason: Missing required OpenGL extension."
So I built and installed lib32-libtxc_dxtn from AUR, now I just get a black screen for 3 seconds, after which it quits with status 0. No messages are written to the terminal.

I tried enabling the S3TC compression in driconf too, as suggested on their bugzilla, but no avail: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4825

So I debugged it with gdb and trapped the exit call:

% gdb --args ./braid -windowed
...
(gdb) break exit
Breakpoint 1 at 0x808da74
(gdb) run
...
Breakpoint 1, 0xf7318194 in exit () from /usr/lib32/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0xf7318194 in exit () from /usr/lib32/libc.so.6
#1  0x080ef0a5 in exit_the_game() ()
#2  0x08125f25 in build_shaders() ()
#3  0x080ee204 in app_main(int, char**) ()
#4  0x0815223e in main ()

So apparently it's failing to build shaders? I'm out of ideas.

are there pkgbuilds for all the games? i just bought this and i'd prefer to install the games properly.
maybe post your pkgbbuilds here?

grogers3.14 · 2010-12-15 18:20:42

My experience on x86_64:

Braid: I have the same problem as intgr, but I have an embedded Intel graphics card. Although, I did get some ALSA underrun errors until I installed some lib32-alsa- libraries, now I just get the same black screen with no error message. I'm using this aur package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44429

Osmos: Playable, but impossible to browse menus because of the font issue mentioned earlier. I'm using this aur package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36833

Revenge of the Titans: works perfectly.

Machinarium: Runs, but it runs hideously slow. I think it's a flash game, which probably explains that.

Cortex Command: Runs perfectly, until I kill the crab to the west on the Tutorial level, when it seg faults.

Has anyone managed to solve any of my issues yet?

Cptn_Sandwich · 2010-12-15 18:42:58

in the aur there is also a fix for the osmos font thing

TryA · 2010-12-15 19:02:37

For those who have problems with Braid, post your glxinfo, run Braid with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and retrieve all the output from the terminal. Something like:

$ glxinfo
...
$ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose braid
...

Running braid in a window (-windowed) can help too.

any clue?

Easy, you have a Intel graphic chip and the 32-bit DRI driver is missing. Install lib32-intel-dri ([multilib] repository).

bokal · 2010-12-15 21:14:06

It works perfectly now!

I was so sure the 32bits DRI drivers would not work that I did not try it...

Thanks guys!

As far as I know, you can't play it with the open source driver, because it is missing the support, you tried to enable. I'm not sure, but that's what I read.

r6 · 2010-12-16 00:11:05

Braid is working after installing lib32-nvidia-utils. Thanks everyone in this thread.

All other games now run nice, i've installed them from aur and updated the PKGBUILDS. So it's only braid and CC(devel) that are troublesome.

I fear that your graphic chip is too weak for Braid...
Braid uses shaders extensively, only the i965-class chips support the most recent ones.

Try to run Braid with half resolution (-half) and without postprocessing effects (-no_post), maybe your graphic chip will bear it...

...the missing modules and /etc/drirc ..is it a sw bug, or is just my hw (atom netbook w/ integrated intel) too weak and i should let it be?
Cheers, M.

TryA · 2010-12-16 04:48:11

The DRI driver is correctly loaded and /etc/drirc is not important. Blame your graphic chip, a GMA 950 (I suppose). Braid is probably too much for this little thing.

Another thing on Osmos... I had an idea about the famous bug which prevents the included font from loading with recent versions of Freetype. Just compile the lastest Freetype that worked with Osmos (2.4.2) and put the library into the Osmos directory. Then, run Osmos with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[Osmos directory]. I made a PKGBUILD from this (source tarball) and it seems to work.

mmm.ai · 2010-12-16 05:02:41

@trya: yes, intel gma 945, ok..braid has to wait for a table pc
regarding osmos, i've found a nice and easy solution, see my comment+PKGBUILD under osmos in aur.
Thank you for support on braid!

It is a bit easier to just replace the font with one that doesn't violate the TTF specification.
cp foobar/Osmos/Fonts/FortuneCity.ttf foobar/Osmos/Fonts/FortuneCity.ttf.backup
cp /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf foobar/Osmos/Fonts/FortuneCity.ttf
