[Oxyd][0.15.33] Crash on start (OpenSuse, audio related)

Post by spoilerhead »

I just updated factorio to 0.15.33 (steam), and it immediately crashes on startup.

This is on OpenSuse Leap 42.2 x64. 0.14 was running fine.
This is on a Lenovo x230 with docking station (happens also when undocked)

As the log indicates audio-problems:
starting with

Code: Select all

--disable-audio
lets the game start normal (well except for the audio part)

None of our Linux devs is in the office right now, buy somebody will try to resolve it eventually.

Until then, it crashes in call to snd_pcm_open() which is function of Alsa Audio library if I understand it correctly.

Have you tried steps from section "NO SOUND OR DELAYED SOUND ON LINUX" in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3636 ?

Just tried the linked steps.

The game starts, but in the main menu i get the message:
"Couldn't initialise audio, audio is disabled" (log attached)

Maybe I should add:

Audio is of course working in other programs.

It appears that Steam has some issues on newest OpenSUSE. Try closing Steam and running it from terminal with the following command:

Code: Select all

STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam
Then try running Factorio from this instance of Steam.

If that does work, then there isn't anything we can do, since it looks like a Steam issue.

You can also download the non-Steam version of the game from our website, which should work since it doesn't require Steam.

Oh, you're a genius. Thanks for pointing it out! Totally fixed it. So it's Valves fault.
Thank you, again.
