Linux share on Steam hits highest peak in years thanks to Steam Deck
3 Jul 2022 at 7:35 am UTC Likes: 5

According to the trend line in the plot, linux will hit 50% of the market share sometime in June of 2500. I need to make memo for my grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand children to check this out :)

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen - Tactical Legacy Pack out now and with Linux support right away

Quoting: ryad
Quoting: nocri
Quoting: ryadI really wish I could get XCOM 2 up and running since I loved the XCOM:EW.
On my setup, it crashes while showing the XCOM splash screen no matter what I do. The options dialog box is working. Even the Feral support is at loss. In their defense: I use a non-supported distribution (Arch).

Exception thrown:
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1536436120)
free(): invalid next size (fast)
XCOM2: dumped to "<DUMP_FILE>"
XCOM2: crash reporter "<STEAM_PATH>/steam/steamapps/common/XCOM 2/bin/feral_linux_crash_reporter" launching
Game crashed, if possible email [[email protected]] with the crash file [<DUMP_FILE>] and details
Game removed: AppID XXXXXX "", ProcID XXXXX 


Things I already tried:
  • loading via steam-native & steam-runtime

  • verify game file integrity

  • run in window mode

  • changing the resolution

  • unchecking "always show this dialog box"

  • using various LD_LIBRARY_PATH combinations, including from steam-runtime and GOL



Setup: RX 580 @ Mesa 18.2, Arch x64, Xfce4

Does anyone perhaps know the problem and have a possible solution? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to set launch options to:
LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" %command% --system-asound ?

If not click right mouse button on XCOM 2 in the library, select properities from context menu, in the dialog click "set launch options" and paste the line above.

Edit: where to use that command.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it! I've already tried various launch options including yours :-) Unfortunately it's still crashing.
You can try to strace it -- maybe it is relativly simple library problem.
Install strace "pacman -S strace"
and set command to:
strace %command% &> ./strace.log
and look at the final lines of the log for which library caused error.

Liam, would it be possible to see how each category changes over time ? For example take a snapshot of users data every month(?) and then compare them on one plot ?

Edit: I just noticed that it actually exists :)

Ok, I was not going to buy this, as it doesn't look like my kind of game... But damn! These are some impressive results, so just to say thank you for the effort -- it is in the basket :)

Quetoo, a free and open source FPS is looking to get on Steam

Sounds really nice ! Quake2 was my all-time favorite multiplayer game :) Too bad the old q2 anticheat system didn't work on linux so I couldn't play anymore after permanent switch. However, I hope they have some kind of anticheat system included.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

That would be any of Fifa or PES :) Football game is the only thing I pine for (except for the fyords:))

Superb ! Any info on the system requirements ?:)

Small update to the PC info system today, you can now get a 'forum signature image'

Nice idea, maybe CPU info instead of architecture ? I would put &nbsp; after colons and use larger margin on the left (as "Manjaro" touches the border).
