thanks,
also the game starts for about a second I see small circles rotating around a larger one, then the game crashes
when I run the game from the terminal I get a *huge (literally huge) list of GL commands followed by "segmentation fault", that is all I have to work with.
It is worth investigating Ehvis' suggestion about bumblebee, there might be a conflict of sorts.
Should have edited my post but I think the problem is sound related
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock
AL lib: (WW) ALCjackBackendFactory_init: jack_client_open() failed, 0x11
AL lib: (WW) alc_initconfig: Failed to initialize backend "jack"
Segmentation fault
that is the last few lines of the errror message (the rest is the GL options),
I have tried installing and starting the jack_server whick leads to
GIS_texture_lod GL_SGIX_depth_texture GL_SGIX_shadow GL_SUN_slice_accum
Cannot lock down 82274202 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)

Cannot use real-time scheduling (RR/5)(1: Operation not permitted)
JackClient::AcquireSelfRealTime error
Segmentation fault
as always I appreciate you guys taking the time to help. cC
The game launched, still not sure why maybe one of you can help wih that part however,
If my USB wireless mouse is plugged in --> game crashes as above
If not plugged in and using just keyboard and/or Steam controller --> game launches and plays fine
Just thought I would post this as might help somebody else and intrested to see if anyone knows what might cause this to happen.
Thanks,
