Hi!

I'm brand new here, trying to get the game working on my machine. I'm running KXStudio (based on Ubuntu) 64-bit on a ASUS K52J laptop with GeForce® 310M w/ 1GB of RAM, intel CORE™ i5 and 8GB of Kingston's RAM.

Every attempt of running the game got me only this message:

I got an Arch package of the lib32-Xft and got these files linked into another dir:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

/lib/i386-linux-gnu# ls libXft*
libXft.so  libXft.so.2  libXft.so.2.3.2


No luck, still can't get TOL to see the library and run.

Anybody has a similar problem? What am I doing wrong?

Ah, yes I had the same issue on Ubuntu. Torque3D sadly doesn't compile in 64bit so far, thus you need to install the multiarch package of that library.

IIRC it should work like this on Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install libxft2:i386"

Edit: ahh wait you got these already? Strange... it was working after that on my Kubuntu 14.04...

I would advise against using system libraries from another distro that the one you are running. Most likely they we not compiled against the same version as your distro's core packages. KXStudio does not provide libxft2:i386?

If KXStudio is still 12.04 based it might help to install those ia32 transitional package that was used before full multiarch support was added to Ubuntu.

unfa: Try to run ./engine directly, if this works then the overload.sh script is doing something wrong.

Unfortunately ia32 isn't availabile, the multiarch is already in place.
I'll try the running tip and say what happened.

I run engine, didn't work, here's the output:

Ahh, let me guess, it's a Nvidia Optimus laptop, right? The driver of the intel gpu on the i5 (at least mine in a sandy bridge) doesn't support a high enough OpenGL version.

Try starting it with Bumblebee or turn on Primus in the nvidia-settings.

The game segfaults if the OpenGL graphics subsystem fails. It needs at least OpenGL 3.2 but it's weird that it doesn't complain that it's not available.

I have the same problem in a nvidia optimus laptop 64-bit. Can't run the game for that missing file.

overload.sh is basically just a script that checks if it can find 32bit versions of the libs that TOL requires. just launch ./overload directly. If that works then there's something wrong with the overload.sh script.

depending on the driver you are using you may want to put an "optirun" infront of the path of overload.sh.
like:

optirun "/path/to/overload.sh"

(you may need the quotation mark when using folders with spaces in their name like "../My Projects/..")

That works if you're using a system for which bumblebee has been packaged and is installed.
On Ubuntu 14 IIRC you might be able to activate the nvidia GPU in nvidia-settings, thanks to Ubuntu's dreadful nvidia-prime hack
