Unvanquished Forum

I installed alpha 9 on my Ubuntu partition a short while ago. In the pas I've had alpha 7 and 8 on this partition, both worked if I launched daemon from the Unvanquished folder, but the shortcuts did nothing, this was in 12.10 beta. This time when I installed Unvanquished, from the .run installer, the shortcuts did launch correctly as well as both daemon and daemon.i836. Oddly enough though, all I see when I start the game, is a pink screen. I can hear the music and the sounds when I navigate the menu, but I can't see anything at all. I wonder if this is Ubuntu, or the game? cause 12.10 is odd. Is anyone else having this issue?

Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
AMD Athlon x4 3.00ghz
NVIDIA GTS 250 - Using proprietary drivers
4GB ram

Could you post screenshots? Also in this version, use daemon without the i386.

here's the screenshot of unvanquished. this happens no matter which way I launch it (daemon, daemon i386, shortcut). Side note, I am running unity with dual monitors, I am using the nvidia-current-updates proprietary driver.

Could you run unvanquished from console and give us its output?

I have the same problem, I think it is because we GPU don't support openGL3

So this is my log (because I have the same problem, I think it can be util) :

ps : I see on the log that you use st3 for texture compression, but st3 is not open source no ?

I get the exact same problem with Alpha 9. I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 and the NVidia Proprietary driver.

Here is my terminal output:

While I also see the "OpenGL too old" warnings, I don't think it's an GL3 problem in first place.

One point is, that my graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 310M) as well as my driver (Nvidia proprietary version 310.14) is GL3 capable.

Another point is, that the problem persists, when choosing the GL renderer instead of GL3 (by starting it via "./daemon +set cl_renderer GL"). The only difference is, that the screen is then black instead of pink, that's all.

Hint: You can exit the program by pressing Shift-Esc to (invisibly in this case) open the console. This frees the mouse and you can use the close button of your window manager.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit

I have exactly the same issue, me I use Ctrl + Alt + F3 -> htop -> F9 on the process

...WARNING: OpenGL too old

You will only get this message if glGetString( GL_VERSION ) returns the OpenGL version as 1.x ( We require at least OpenGL 2.1 support for the GL3 renderer ).

If glGetString( GL_VERSION ) is not working correctly, I doubt other OpenGL functions will work either.

I suggest that you all compile the source instead of using the binarys if you want a "quick" fix to the issue. This may be a binary compatibility problem.

The graphic card of my mother support OpenGL 2.1.2,
itr is GeForce 6100 nForce 405/integrated/SSE2.

I try to compile from source at the next holiday.
