Garry's Mod Running On Linux

[philip550c]

I didn't; Garry did. I had to restart my machine and when I restarted my Steam client an update for GMod ran and I tried to launch it again and I got through to the main menu for the game.



If you own it and can't install/launch it, then it is probably because you didn't opt into the development beta, there was an announcement a few days back by Garry that using the secret word from the game will give you access to the new SteamPipe-based development beta. http://linuxgamecast.com/2013/05/gar...lient-support/

I was able to select development beta without any code.

I was able to select development beta without any code.

He must of made it public within the last day or so then. When I installed I needed the code.


Just got done playing it for a bit, seems to be working quite well now.

Seems one segfault is as good as tracked down

#0  0xf5aa086a in _mesa_BindFramebuffer () from /usr/lib32/libdricore9.2.0.so.1
#1  0xf77d4871 in ?? () from /home/user/steamlibrary/common/GarrysMod/bin/libtogl.so
...

In mesa 9.2 it crashes when togl throws around a GL_ZERO somewhere while on 9.1 it doesn't and according to a commenter on the bugreport this is out of OpenGL spec so it would be a bug in some library not from garry but from valve:

Yup togl isn't to spec so latest mesa or 9.2 crashes.
