World of Goo Official Realese

[MellowFellow]

Can you post content of ~/.WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.log and what returns ldd /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo (pastebin.com).
And of course you don't try to start /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.bin but you starting it from menu or /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo, I am right?

The directory ~/.WorldOfGoo doesn't exist, so there is no WorldOfGoo.log to post. If I create ~/.WorldOfGoo manually and try to launch, it still crashes and doesn't leave any log. I get the same crash from either /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo or /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.bin. Here is the output from ldd:

...of course I can't run ldd on WorldOfGoo as it's just a shell script In case it is useful, this is the list of actual rpms I had to install to satisfy all those libs:

Also, this isn't very useful without source, but here is a backtrace from gdb:

The directory ~/.WorldOfGoo doesn't exist, so there is no WorldOfGoo.log to post. If I
create ~/.WorldOfGoo manually and try to launch, it still crashes and doesn't leave any log.

I believe that video gets initialized before this directory is created. I think this bug is video related. Can you try to run 32bit version of glxgears and post output of 32bit glxinfo?
If either one fail pleas rerun them like this:
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

I get the same crash from either /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo or /opt/WorldOfGoo/WorldOfGoo.bin. Here is the output
from ldd:

ldd WorldOfGoo.bin
libGLcore.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 (0x0085a000)
libnvidia-tls.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 (0x00471000)

Nvidia. Output of xrandr. There should be 800x600 mode.

Also, this isn't very useful without source, but here is a backtrace from gdb:

(gdb) where
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1 0x0046c621 in pthread_once () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

#11 0x00000000 in ?? ()

As I said video might not be initialized.
If any of above test(glxgears glxinfo xrandr) fails in some way please paste your xorg.conf and xserver log.

I agree, it's a very good and fun game. 20,- $ well spent. I'm so glad that they've released it for Linux as well.

Problem with Suse 11.1, 64 Bit, ATI catalyst 9.1

I downloaded and installed (rpm -Uhv) the WOG demo today.

First I could not start the program because of missing libGLU. After installing the mesa32Bit package from suse the demo can be started and played, BUT it is slow, lagging and sometimes the sound stutters.
I assume that WOG uses the mesa32Bit libs and not the accelerated ATI libs. How can I tell WOG to use the ATI ones? Just reinstall catalyst 9.1?

Any idea?

Cheers
mibo

Edit: My hardware should be able to run WOG stutter-free:
X3350 quad core
4GB ram
ATI 3850 with 512MB

Can you try to run 32bit version of glxgears and post output of 32bit glxinfo?

Unfortunately it's not obvious how to install glxgears 32bit on Fedora 64bit and i'm going offline for 2 weeks. I'll try to get this working when I return. Sorry.

From the game website:

"More copies of the game were sold via our website on the day the Linux version released than any other day. This day beat the previous record by 40%. There is a market for Linux games after all "

\o/

[Dragonlord]

I just hope the 40% more don't have those problems mentioned above <.=.<

I just hope the 40% more don't have those problems mentioned above <.=.<

I beta tested the game and aside from the known problems I didn't find a single bug. Maybe I'm just lucky. Anyway best $20 I've spent this year so far.

[Aradreth]

For people having problems I suggest you go to the official forums to get assistance that way if it's an actual bug it can be fixed.

I bought it yesterday, and I'm running it under Fedora 10 (64 bits), without any issue.
Kudos to 2D Boy and the developer of the Linux version !
