Don't always set LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH...
I am running amd64 under Gentoo, and my LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH is set correctly:
Setting this manually actually caused me to slow WAY down to software rendering. Leaving it unset (system default) works, except that the screen is cutoff at the middle. Maybe a reboot...
Code: Select all
echo $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH
:/usr/lib/dri:/usr/lib64/dri:/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/:/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/dri

- Q. I bought Darwinia with Steam while using Windows, I am no longer using Windows and no longer have the data from when I was using it. How do I get the data that I need to run it in Linux?
A. Subscribe (as in pay) for Cedega and install Steam with it, then install Darwinia with it (which will not run in Cedega). If it finishes installing, take the files you need.

Just remember, playing the Steam version of Darwinia on Linux is not officially supported. You can do it, but don't expect a huge amount of help from IV or Valve (especially Valve).

A. Try removing the file darwinia/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (make a backup somewhere) .
This is the case also with Ubuntu (6.10 Edgy)...
This :
Code: Select all
~/darwinia> mv -p lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libbak/libgcc_s.so.1
works...
crash on first level
Trying to run on ubuntu 9.10. started the game normally, framerate normal, sound too, when I enter the garden level (don't have much choice, need to start somewhere) cpu get satured, getting some laggy sound, no graphics, no loading, nothing, I can't even kill the app to return to desktop. I've searched for the preferences.txt file, can't find it anywhere. got more ideas?

hi,
preferences.txt should be in /home/USERNAME/.darwinia/full/ , otherwise make a search from the shell,
but i would recommend you to lower the sound settings in the menu (you can try first to disable it just to see if it's the problem) .As you would find in other parts of the forum , it's usually the main problen being really cpu hungry in darwinia.
