My game is unplayable - crashes to desktop upon attempting to fire weapon (can sometimes get one shot off, but subsequent rounds fired cause crash). Terminal output here - http://pastebin.com/j5P4SreE

My system is running Mint 14 Cinnamon x64, Intel i5-2450M, 4Gb RAM, nVidia GT630 (via Bumblebee). Kernel is 3.5.0-47-generic, nVidia driver is 304.116-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1

Edit: A gdb dump of the crash shows:
[New Thread 0xa14adb40 (LWP 11868)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xf15db446 in ?? () from /usr/lib32/nvidia-304/libnvidia-glcore.so.304.116

Edit 2: Updated to nvidia 331.20-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal1, behaviour is the same.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    Try removing the repo driver and install the one from geforce.com. The latest is 331.49. I also suggest updating the kernel, you're not on LTS anyway so try 3.13.

    I get the exact same problem. I recently updated my drivers to 334.21 but it still crashes. It's been like this for quite a while for me.

    My distro is Xubuntu 13.10 x64 (Kernel 3.11.0)
    Phenom II x4 810
    4GB RAM
    GeForce GTX 670 (334.21 nvidia blob)

    Sadly, we still don't know what causes the crashes. I haven't seen a crash for quite a long time and my system is similar to yours in many aspects so... I really don't know.

    Just to be sure, have you tried lowering your settings? Especially, textures. And everything else, too.

    Sorry about the delay in replying, haven't given the game another go since really...
    I'm a bit reluctant to swap my kernel out, and I'm planning to jump to Mint 17 pretty much as soon as it comes out, which can only be 5-6 weeks away...
    I'll update once I've done that, one way or the other :)

    I have the same issue – the game segfaults when I shoot a gun.
    Setting texture quality to low does not help.

    Distro: Linux Mint 17 Mate x64
    Kernel: 3.13.0-24-lowlatency (3.13.9)
    CPU: FX-8320
    Memory: 8GiB
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770; driver version: 337.19

    I can gether more information / test more things / etc. if needed.

    I have the same issue – the game segfaults when I shoot a gun.
    Im using KDE.
    The interesting thing is, that ns2 doesn't segfaults all the time.
    If the kwin's composite effects are enabled (normally I start ns2 with composite effects disabled Alt-Shift-F12)
    the game sometimes works fine.
    Unfortunately this workaround does not work all the time.
    But maybe this fact is useful to find the bug.

    Conclusion: It segfaults about 95%, but not always.

    openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64)
    kernel-3.11.10
    glibc-2.18
    nvidia-331.67
    Mainboard: Asus P7P55D PRO
    CPU:Intel Core i5-750
