Total War: Attila crashing at startup

Hello,

I am having issues getting Attila: Total War to run. Each time I start it, it segfault immediately and the window closes shortly after displaying the cursor. The traceback is the following:

szCmd: /bin/sh -c '"/home/mederic/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh" "steam://run/325610"' &

I have run the usual workaround of deleting the steam libraries as mentioned here, to no avail. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ime_issues I have also disabled the overlay (so I am not sure why it is trying to load it anyway). I have also tried using a purely native runtime and I get the exact same problem. Anyone would have a pointer where to look to understand where the problem is coming from? I am wondering if the new C++ ABI is not causing problems but I have no idea how to test this idea in the first place.

Thanks!

Edit: I have the same issue with the intel and the R600 drivers (Mesa 11.0.7).

Edit2: in dmesg I get this extra bit of information

Re: Total War: Attila crashing at startup

For what it is worth, I got a partial workaround on git hub. Start Attila with the following command:  env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/steam/Steam/ubuntu12_64/ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/steam/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamclient.so ./Attila

The game still crashes but not anymore in libcrypto.so.
