Waaagh! Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III released for Linux with OpenGL & Vulkan, review & port report
9 Jun 2017 at 7:16 am UTC

Quoting: Xpanderafaik 381.22 drivers are required, you seem to run older ones.
or this is required just for Vulkan?
Nope only for Vulkan - https://www.feralinteractive.com/en/news/765/ [External Link]

For OpenGL I've read somewhere driver 375.66 was the requirement.

Submitted a bug to Feral with the crash dump located under ~/.local/feral-interactive/ (and even the stack I could find w/ GDB).

First thing :
- the game complains librtmp.so.0 is missing (fixed by created a symlink from librtmp.so.1)

Second thing :
- when starting the game through GDB I get a segfault (otherwise no output) like this one :
#0 0x00007fffcc1de460 in ?? ()
#1 0x00007fffe2406619 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
#2 0x00007fffe2400ab9 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
#3 0x00007fffe23f9ca6 in glXGetProcAddress () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1
#4 0x00007ffff460825b in X11_GL_LoadLibrary ()
from /mnt/games2/Steam/steamapps/common/Dawn of War III/bin/../lib/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.5.so
#5 0x00007ffff45f23ec in SDL_CreateWindow_REAL ()
from /mnt/games2/Steam/steamapps/common/Dawn of War III/bin/../lib/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.5.so
// stack omitted

I know my machine is beefy (actually it runs some VMs quite often - and Debian is running blazing fast on it ;-)

All other Feral ports just work fine, so there's something with this one. Thus as Debian is the basis of SteamOS if it crashes on Debian it is likely to crash on the upcoming SteamOS (and Ubuntuj releases.

Waiting for feedback from Feral, staying you tuned. ;-)

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTEven though this is a new engine no cross platform multiplayer? Are you joking Feral? Hold of buying their multilayer games until that attitude is fixed!!!
I'd not be surprised it's the same reason as CoH2, for which they could not enable cross-platform multiplayer because of differences on floating point computation between the different platforms, which caused disconnections.

Even though the game does not look awesome it will be an instant buy for me.

Looks like Rome: Total War might be coming to Linux, according to Feral's port radar

Then we're missing Napoleon TW and Rome 2, and that's it. Great news !

Feral Interactive are teasing yet another Linux game

Made to wade is Shadow Warrior 2 (just see how successes look on SW1) so the other one must be Shogun TW2. I'll buy it again to support Feral.

If it gets released it will be an instant buy for me.

Adventure game Syberia 3 looks like it will be heading over to Linux

Instant buy for me as well when it is released !
