Ark: Survival Evolved (issues?)

Davini · 2015-09-06 09:31:06

I'm having trouble running this game. Basically, I start it and I get a black screen. If I move the window from one monitor to another, the window renders and I can see the menu. I haven't tried running in another distro (i.e., ubuntu), and I've only done some cursory google searches for 'black screen', with zero success. Is anyone else having trouble running this game in Arch Linux? I was just curious if anyone else has gotten this game to run using Arch Linux. If so, what is your setup?

Thanks

Looks like this is a steam-game ?

If so, try starting from an xterminal and post the output steam gives.

Ya, it's a steam game, http://store.steampowered.com/app/346110.

pid 2740 != 2738, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

After the game window pops up, it's just black. If I move the window between monitors (using 3 monitors, at the moment), the window renders. But, it's seems like it just 'refreshed' once. I'm not sure what's going on.

Here's this, if it help:

That's a lot of errors, hard to decide were to begin.

STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/davini/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime

There are several errors mentioning "(wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32):" .
Is Ark supposed to be a 64-bit or a 32-bit game ?

Another question :
what videocard and driver do you use ?
Do native OpenGL appications like phonotix work ?
please post glxinfo and glxinfo32 output .

GeForce GTX 480, Driver Version: 352.41 . I know it's an old video card.

I decided to try this with Ubuntu, and it seems to work fine. I'll come back to Arch Linux soon.
