Serious Sam TFE & TSE won't start

Greetings.

I downloaded the two installers from http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=71 and could install both games without problems.
But I can't run/play them.
For TFE:

ssamtfe$ sh ssamtfe
STUB: load window icon in SeriousSam/MainWindow.cpp, line 153.
STUB: Need SDL invisible window or something in SeriousSam/MainWindow.cpp, line 356.
FATAL ERROR:
"Cannot initialize classes:
Cannot load DLL file '/home/kakarott/games/ssamtfe/Bin/libEntitiesMP.so':
/home/kakarott/games/ssamtfe/Bin/libEntitiesMP.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I copied the libEntitiesMP.so and the libGameMP.so from my TSE installation and got now:

ssamtfe$ sh ssamtfe
STUB: load window icon in SeriousSam/MainWindow.cpp, line 153.
STUB: Need SDL invisible window or something in SeriousSam/MainWindow.cpp, line 356.

Uncommenting:

• SDL_AUDIODRIVER="alsa"
• XSERVER="Xorg"
• XSERVER_OPTIONS="-reset -terminate -br -quiet -nolisten tcp -to 30"
• XSERVER_DISPLAY=":1.0"

just gives me:

ssamtfe$ sh ssamtfe
FATAL ERROR:
"SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) failed. Reason: [No available video device]."

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1.0

On TSE I get:

(Looks the same.)


My system:

$ uname -a
Linux Dragon 2.6.37-rc6 #1 SMP Tue Dec 21 16:29:04 CET 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Debian Testing 64Bit
AMD Phenom x4 905e
AMD ATI HD4770 (fglrx 10.12)
6GB Ram


Is there any help to get it going?


Thanks.

Hi Kakarott,

let's focus on SSAM TFE first.
Please do a clean installation with the SSAM TFE installer, do not change any files, change in the installation directory,
run the following command:

find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \;

and post it's output here.

Thanks.

Hi kratz00,

Clean install:
$ find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \;

Do you have the 32bit libGL installed? I'm getting the same error on my box and I strongly suspect that this is the reason.

Yes. I have it installed.

Hi Kakarott,

some of your files differ but I don't think that's the problem.

Run this command from the "Bin" directory in your installation directory:

Code: Select all

 strace -o log ./ssam_lnx

Do the same for

Code: Select all

ssam_lnxded.dynamic

Don't bother about missing libraries.

Hey,

made you a package:

strace -o log ./ssam_lnx
strace -o log2 ./ssam_lnx &> lnx.log
strace -o log3dyn ./ssam_lnx &> lnx_dyn.log
strace -o log4dyn ./ssam_lnx &> lnx_dyn2.log
strace -o log5ded ./ssam_lnx &> lnx_ded.log
strace -o log6ded ./ssam_lnx &> lnx_deddyn.log

Another one: I can play it when starting the game as root - does this work for you too?

Sorry, but I don't start something like that as root.
(Also it wouldn't run because it wouldn't get display :0.0 . I know I could do a xhost local:root . But sorry. No way.)

Hi Kakarott,

thanks for the log files.

First, why are there no errors regarding missing libraries (libEntitiesMP.so and libGameMP.so)?
That's odd or did you "fix" it already?

Nothing strange in the log files except for this:

Code: Select all

log:open("/dev/input/event0", O_RDONLY)     = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
log:open("/dev/input/event1", O_RDONLY)     = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
log:open("/dev/input/event2", O_RDONLY)     = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
log:open("/dev/input/event3", O_RDONLY)     = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
log:open("/dev/input/event4", O_RDONLY)     = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
log:ioctl(14, 0xc0286450, 0xffc1ba5c)       = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

I understand you are afraid to run games as root user but a quick test will not harm your system and we would know if it might be a permission problem.

Nope. But I just installed first encounter and not both like in the first time. Maybe thats why.

Made some more logs:

Hi Kakarott,

thanks again for testing, even as root user

I'm running out of ideas
Nothing interesting or out of the ordinary in your log files.

Maybe it's a problem with the data files after all.
Is your CD scratched or dirty?

Too bad Ryan is not developing the Linux client anymore.
rettichschnidi is busy at the moment, give him some time, maybe he will come up with a good idea.

Hi kratz00,

I don't think, that the CD is scratched or dirty. Even did a dd_rescue copy on HD and no error occurred.

Thanks for help.

I managed to fix the issue for myself. I'm not yet entirely sure that I got the same error as you, but you can try my binary: ftp://files.reto-schneider.ch/diesundda ... ix-ssamtfe (no, I do not ask you to run it as root )

If it does not work:
Please send us a coredump of TFE. You can do it like this:

Code: Select all

ulimit -c unlimited
./Bin/ssam_lnx.dynamic


As soon as the game crashes, there will be a file called "core" (can be quite huge). Please upload it somewhere and give us the link to it. If possible do it also for ssam_lnx.dynamic-fix

Edit: Had to rename the file, since the one for TSE has exactly the same name.

Boooyaaaah!

That one worked.
But: It is way to faaaaaaaaaaaaaaast.
Turn everything up but still like 2 or 3 times faster then normal.
