Unvanquished Forum

After consulting IRC, the wiki and several reinstalls, I'm getting this crashlog:

Any ideas?

It seems to be an issue with your graphics drivers. What GPU & drivers do you have?

might as well paste this too.

Not ideal for gaming hardware wise, but I've run recent games on it before moving to linux. Would updating mesa fix the issue?

Your version of mesa is horribly outdated, the current version is 10.4.4. You should really consider upgrading it.

Or simply use Windows!

is there Mesa 10.4.4 on Windows?

Too bad there is no Mesa update for you on backports , you need to do repository-pinning !

You may want to consider a more up-to-date distribution, like Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

This makes me thing that once Jessie's out we'd better raise our minimum requirements to OpenGL 3.2, that is Mesa 10+

I hate to give you this answer but sadly we have no way to fix it (or don't want to such a specific workaround) as it is a bug in a no longer bugfixed version of Mesa.

waellis, wow, you didn't mention what distro you are using.

If your mesa is old you may want to install Intel's Graphics Drivers. Check your distros man pages about this.

You may want to write on your distros forum to update mesa also.

If I remember he said on IRC he is running Debian Wheezy.
