OOTP21 crashing on startup on Linux

[jhw]

Hi,


The Linux native version of OOTP is crashing on my PC on startup (a window shortly opens and immediately disappears) and I cannot figure out why. I am using the Steam version.



Here are the debug traces:

Sorry that's happening!

There are a few things that might be causing that. The quickest way to get things sorted out will be if you go ahead and fill out a support ticket so the tech support guys can do some specific troubleshooting with you.

You can do that by filling out the form here, or by emailing us at support@ootpdevelopments.com

Good luck!

Thanks, I have just created the ticket.

So, after the support was no help at all, I found a solution for the crash on startup problem on Linux:

You have to delete the following file from the lib64 folder in the Game directory: libstdc++.so.6

Of course you also need to clear the crash on startup flag in the config file. Afterwards the game runs fine again, fully native on Linux
