Ok, thanks, I'll check the console.

Same problem for me (french Ubuntu).
(Quote) Are you aware that in french we use a lot of accentuated characters and such that are not on such a keyboard? To write in french, a QWERTY keyboard is completely unusable. So, no, buying another ke… -
That's not a solution.
But thanks for the link, I'll continue there. -
Good news: it works!
Less good news: perfs are absolutely catastrophic, with around 7 fps in 1920 × 1080 (native screen res). I have to switch to 960 × 540 to get a decent framerate (~ 28 fps) with lowest settings possible. Will try in Openbox… -
Tried the new 14.6 beta that was released a few days ago. Still the same. So, basically, I'm the only one that still can't play the game on Linux 11 monthes after it was released?

I've tried Catalyst 14.6b and while it's a bit better, the game still doesn't work. It doesn't get stuck on the loading screen anymore, it goes to the main menu but when I start to optimize the files as asked or skip and try to launch the tutorial, …

Anybody tried with the new Catalyst 14.6 beta?

There's a new Catalyst diver (14.4 RC). Anybody tried it with NS2?

Looks like there's a new beta driver (Catalyst 14.3 beta 1.0) : http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-linux-beta-driver.aspxWell, the changelog doesn't mention anuthing about this issue, so it's safe to assume that it wasn't fixed, I didn't even try. Besides, it seems that the devs are waiting for the problem to be fixed on AMD's side and try to fix it in the game throug…Just for the record: problem still present with the new Catalyst 14.1 beta.Ah, nice, some details. Good to know it's been identified. So now we just have to wait for AMD to fix the bug (sigh).I don't think it's related. Besides, I don't have issues with some of the game listed (Mark of the Ninja, Darwinia, Uplink) so I guess the problem of Bilbo2 is kind of specific to his config. I have a crash problem related to the overlay with Awesom…Still no infos from the devs?AFAIK, this new driver only adds support for some AMD's APUs, nothing new for GPUs.
Currently, we have the following drivers available:
- 13.12 stable: don't work with Ubuntu and seem to have issues with other distros as well / no …Anyone tried the 13.11 beta 9.95 that were released yesterday? There are not a lot of fixes in this version (the main change is the official compatibility with SteamOS) so I don't expect any change with NS2 but just in case...
Also, any …Do you have a link to that other thread? Do you mean that one: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/comment/2175219/ ?

Glad you could make a quick test on Arch. Less glad the game still doesn't work with these st…Looks like AMD released new stable drivers yesterday (13.12). Will try them tomorrow but the friend that told me they were out also said that he gets a black screen after system login on Ubuntu 13.10...
Anybody tried them?Still the same with b262.That's quite odd that the extra drivers tool doesn't see any available drivers, as if your GPU wasn't supported by the drivers available (which would explain why your session crashes when you force the installation). It looks like that though sysinf…Still the same with b261 (but now we have a nice background picture to look at on the stuck loading screen).
Any info from the devs? Has the problem been identified as a NS2 or AMD bug? In the latter case, has it been reported to AMD?Problem still present with Catalyst 13.11 beta 9.4.(Quote) Yeah, I had the loading screen when testing yesterday but I sometimes had it too with b258-259 randomly so I'm not sure there's really a change here or if it was just luck.Yup, problem still present in build 260 (with AMD Catalyst 13.11 beta 6 from AMD site in my case).Yup, stuck (see above): the game doesn't do anything, it only displays a black or garbaged screen (the loading screen happened once, with b259 and Catalyst 13.11b1). Log file is pretty useless.
AMD RadeonHD 7770.Tried 13.11b6. Back to previous step: garbage graphics when launching the game and it's stuck (the garbage/black screen/loading screen might be random). How do I get a backtrace?I've updated the title as I've tested b259. There's a slight change (I now get a "loading" screen rather than black or corrupt display) but NS2 is still stuck at start.
I have yet to try the newest Catalyst beta (13.11 beta 6 instead of …As a sidenote, I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 yesterday and tried NS2 with the driver from the Ubuntu repos (I think the fglrx-updates driver was version 13.1).
