Warband in Linux

I'm getting CTD issues with running the Steam Linux version of Warband. Happens when changing scenes like when starting battles for example. Is there anything I can do to stop them from happening?

Also had a ragdoll bug, but stopped that by disabling ragdolls.

Can you share your PC Specs and module that you are playing? We can try to reproduce.

Sure I'd love some help, found some time to play today and keep getting CTD, it's basically unplayable for me ):

I'm using a RX 580 GPU, ASUS 370x Pro-Prime Mobo, 3200x flash, G Skill 3200x Flare-X RAM 2 8gb sticks. I'm running Ubuntu MATE 18.04. Running up to date Steam and Mount and Blade, using Brytenwalda 1.41, the original version.

It crashes when changing scenes as said like leaving a city or entering a battle. It also crashes quite often when I press the "load" button. I'm not sure if it'll help, but I launched the game through the terminal, and I might have gotten an error message at the end, I'll copy/paste here just in case it's helpful:

That's the steam log, it has nothing to do with M&B and whatever listed in it doesn't show an actual problem. I explained a way to properly troubleshoot CTD on the previous page of this topic, you might want to try it.

Maxwell Hall · Apr 14, 2019

Is that what you meant when you said "backtrace"? I read what you wrote but didn't understand it.

I hope M.ArdA_TaleWorlds can provide some assistance. Might it be worth trying to play Warband through Wine?

Sorry of the late reply. No, that isn't the backtrace.

A CTD means something wrong happened with the game proper, maybe you lack a driver or maybe you found a bug. Maybe you are using a buggy mod too. The log you've shown is the steam log, not the game's log.

When you start your game, it's log should be sent to your ~/.xsession-errors file, along with all other graphical software's log. You'll most probably find out why the game crashes in that file.

It could be your graphic drivers; some newer mesa libraries have bugs dealing with older games(e.g. counter strike 1.6), try using ubuntu default graphics drivers(mesa) if your using those drivers then try current+patches PPA or the closed source AMDGPU ones (I've ran into problems with the closed source ones so be warned).

There is not really closed source AMDGPU drivers, unless you run very old hardware. AMD chose to unify their drivers with the opensource one, minus the firmwares. You almost never want to run older drivers.

Well the AMDGPU PRO(sometimes called just AMDGPU) Drivers provided by amd are proprietary due to certification and validation reasons (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-radpro-lin-16-40) but it still would not be my first or second recommendation, as for the main problem user listed there is a link(https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues/2100) to a problem similar to the what he described and mentioned by valve (granted for cs1.6 not M&B) as being cause by either having too new of mesa libraries(for me it was too new) or too old.

I'm using the opensource drivers that's inbuilt into the kernel. What are these PPA patches that I can use?

Can you tell me which mesa version you recommend for Warband? I checked mine and the default version that goes with the OS is 11.2 (I have 18.0.5 installed).

Which distro do you use? The content of the xsession-log file is useless to us, all that is requried is the part directly linked to the game. It should be present in that file, or in the steam log in /tmp/dumps/
But before that, we need to know which distro you uses and what drivers you have installed. You need to install your GPU's drivers, which should come with xserver-xorg-video-all on a debian machine (or derivative).

Personally I use stretch backports (18.2.

, and everything works just fine.

The reason I said it is better to use the latest version available to you is because mesa changes all the time, as per https://mesa3d.org/relnotes.html. And also because distro like debian have a very old mesa in their repo If you want to know what changes between you current version (18.0) and the next one (18.1), just check the release notes.

Personally I use stretch backports (18.2., and everything works just fine.

The reason I said it is better to use the latest version available to you is because mesa changes all the time, as per https://mesa3d.org/relnotes.html. And also because distro like debian have a very old mesa in their repo If you want to know what changes between you current version (18.0) and the next one (18.1), just check the release notes.

Then mesa version 18-ish is confirmed to work.

There can be many factors that can contribute to a CTD like reported here. That's why I asked. From what I gathered, it's mod-specific for the latest version of Warband, and each mod may or may not have the same cause for crashing. Even so, the error could be mod-side or engine-side.

For those who experience crashes, please state what module you're using. Check the Warband version your mod is stated to work for. Older mods like Gekokujo tend to crash, while newer ones like ACOK 7.0 don't. Native should work for you no matter what, so if it doesn't, it's certainly an issue.

Edit:
You can find your Steam backtrace in /tmp/dumps/username_stdout.txt. Open that file and go to the end. You will see something like the spoiler below. This is an example of a crash I got from playing Sugoroku 3.1. This time it crashed when it tried to deallocate some memory. I hope this helps.

I have tried the beta, and the game works now. However, it still has the same CTD issue as the previous version (Manifest ID 7269461115939809640) where the game would crash when using mods. The same as what I reported before:

Grank said:

Is anybody else having problems after the new patch? I could play with mods just fine for a few days, but now the game crashes whenever it tries to load scenes or sometimes it can even crash just by opening the inventory. I get the same result with various mods, and fiddling with my settings doesn't help at all. It just says segmentation fault and nothing else. I'm running the Steam version on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64 bit.

Edit:
I think I have done enough testing to make the following conclusion. The game seems to crash because of some texture-caching bug. Most likely because the game tries to fetch from invalid addresses in the memory. I tested this by playing a mod and having two saves with different items in the inventory and different units in the party, so each save loads different textures. Changing "Load Textures on Demand" produces the same behavior, single threading or not.

1. After a fresh boot, load save 1 and the game runs fine. Crashes after what seems to be loading too many textures.
2. Load save 1 again. Immediate crash when opening inventory, party, or scenes.
3. Load save 2, game runs fine. Most likely because the game has to load new textures for save 2 from scratch and it can be fetched properly. However, the game crashes again after loading too many textures. Same as case 1.
4. The crash can also happen when you're exiting a dialog scene and returning to the campaign map. Maybe the campaign map's textures were unloaded when loading the dialogue scene, but when you're going back to the campaign map, the map's textures are invalid just like the other textures.

I hope the devs read this. I found a few people with similar problems while Googling around, but no solution yet.

The game crashes when you try to open your inventory, shops or anything that would require items to be rendered. I have tested with A Clash of Kings (crash), Gekokujo (crash), Perisno (crash) and Prophesy of Pendor (playable).

We need to know if you play a modded game, your hardware and if you properly installed the most recent drivers for your hardware.

I've been trying to run Warband on Linux, but like a lot of people mentioned I've had problems with CTDs, specially with certain mods (Prophesy of Pendor, Bones of Ragnvald, Legacy of the Dragon; To name a few).
Playing with wine resolves these issues, but creates an even bigger one: there is a problem with how the mouse is rendered, and it makes the game lag severely whenever the mouse is moved.
I've dug around and the issue seems to be this one:

104461 – [regression][bisected] Moving mouse in some games under wine causes mouse flicker and low performance

bugs.freedesktop.org

I believe that one possible fix for this issue is to make an option in the main (windows) version of the game to disable mouse replacement, like it already is by default on the linux version. I don't know how much work this would be, so I understand if it's not possible. I'd be glad to hear an official response though.

Thanks in advance.

Well, in jule 2020 i've still got this problem with PoP 3.9.5.6 (MBW x64 VC from gog) on Lenovo x230.
Possible ****ty workaround (works for me for some time at least):
1. Forget about "Realistic" mode. Before you save wait for at least >10 seconds for scripts to settle down.
2. If you ever had to SIGKILL (#kill -9 mb_warband_linux , whatever), or any "ALT-F4", create a new game, quit to main menu, then load.
