[SOLVED] Terraria 1.3.5.3 does not run (ALSA/PulseAudio issue?)

Hello everyone,

I have recently decided to give Terraria a go on Linux, since it would not require me to constantly switch back and forth between Arch and Windows. I have downloaded the game from GOG and installed it, however, when I run ./start.sh, nothing happens. I checked the script, and from what I can tell it is just a wrapper for a wrapper which chooses the correct binaries to run. So I cut the middleman and tried to run the binaries directly, located in the 'game' directory. Executing ./Terraria.bin.x86_64 does absolutely nothing, however, executing ./Terraria.bin.x86 returns the following error message:

$ ./Terraria.bin.x86
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:287:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so ((null): libpulse.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
AL lib: (EE) ALCplaybackAlsa_open: Could not open playback device 'default': No such device or address

I don't really know what that error is about (apart from being related to ALSA), but checking the directory, it is not empty and the file referenced *does* in fact exist:

$ ls -l /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14K May 20 02:18 libasound_module_rate_speexrate.so

Finally, it also appears that the issue may lie with PulseAudio, maybe a missing 32-bit library, so I searched for such a package with pacman and found lib32-libpulse, which I installed. After installing said package, I execute ./Terraria.bin.x86 again, but this time nothing happens; the game still does not launch, no errors, nothing. Same deal with the x86_64 binaries. I don't know how to proceed from here, what should I check for next and how can I solve this isssue? Similar issues around the web are either unresolved or their solutions do not apply/do not work. This is fairly weird, as other games like Divinity: Original Sin and Tyranny are running fine and gave me almost no issues.

(Maybe?) Relevant PC specs:

Lenovo Legion Y530, i7-8750H, Nvidia 1050 Ti.
Arch Linux x86_64 5.1.11-arch1-1-ARCH
i3 window manager

Well, guess I was so focused on the ALSA error, that I didn't bother to search whether someone from the glorious AUR had a fix. Reinstalling Terraria using the 'gog-terraria' package from the AUR found here has fixed the issue. Game is working fine, although I still do not know what the issue was specifically; reading through the PKGBUILD might shed some more light.

The original error said, that /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so was missing.
You can find out, which package owns the file with pacman -Qo:

carnager@caprica ~ > pacman -Qo /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so is owned by lib32-alsa-plugins 1.1.9-1

And then simply install that.

Re: [SOLVED] Terraria 1.3.5.3 does not run (ALSA/PulseAudio issue?)

^ -Q queries locally installed packages, so that won't help someone who is missing the package.

You want pacman -F, or pkgfile. e.g.

pacman -Fo /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

pacman -Fs libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

or

pkgfile libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind in the future! Although the problem was weird because the file *did* exist (I had the 'lib32-alsa-plugins' package already), and Terraria still complained it could not find it.

Likely the permissions line at the end.
