Hi, I have problems to start ark with the open source mesa driver 13x (tested 13.0.2 and 13.0.3) on my kubuntu 16.10. It works with the standard ubuntu supported 12.0.3 version. I'am using the ppas form this guide: https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament/forums/showthread.php?23665-How-to-update-Open-Source-graphic-driver-in-Ubuntu I also tried out the padoka and the oilbav ones. The problem is a error message with one or two letters by starting the game. I tried out to start steam in terminal without any useful new informations about that ark error. I also tried out to change some mesa enviroment variables without any solution. Does anyone have a useful solution for that problem ? Maybe some new way to find out what kind of error this message is. Thanks. glxinfo | grep OpenGL: OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TAHITI (DRM 2.46.0 / 4.8.0-34-generic, LLVM 4.0.0) OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 17.0.0-devel - padoka PPA OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL core profile extensions: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.0-devel - padoka PPA OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions: OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 17.0.0-devel - padoka PPA OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.10
Might be the same as or at least related to bug 95374.
yes it sounds like it, but the "solution" doesn't work. Do you have any guide to debug this problem ?
maybe it helps to force Steam to use a specific OpenGL version. Start Steam from the command prompt, enforcing OpenGL 3.3: $>MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT steam Then try start Ark again from your steam client. This way I can start Ark. Unfortunately all living creatures are invisible... Still searching for a workaround to make animals visible again.
Of course it helps. I'm trying to do it like this in a shellscript: export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 steam steam://rungameid/346110 Someone says it would also be possible to start the game with the steam game parameters. http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/152393186499850395/ @ Obiwan72 maybe the is a difference between MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 and MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT ? I don't have this kind of invisible creatures.
Quick update: The issue has been fixed since v255.2. You no longer need any override envvars.
