I solved it, if you get the error

Can't find file for package 'PixoDrv'

History:

Exiting due to error


then go to your home folder. Go to the menu View/View Hidden files. Find Arymyops and find the file ArmyOps.ini. Open it up and go to the line that says

[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice


or something similar. Just put a ; in all of them and take one off the second option, so it looks something like

[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
Thats it!

I installed AA

I logged in to AA

I played AA

I felt that It needed more FPS.

I lowered all the graphics to low.

I still felt it needed more.

I switched the OpenGL option to Software, out of curiousity, while a game was
still running.

It crashed

Wouldn't start.

Reinstalled.

Wouldn't start.

And thats the whole story. The Same thing happened when I installed "Penguin Racer." It crashed and didnt work again until I reinstalled ubuntu. I little help here guys =P

You have tried the obvious of changing it back to openGL yeah?

Well it wont start so eh, I can't do that. Unless theres a file I can change?

But like I said, I deleted it, and reinstalled and it still does not work.

My only guess is that it keeps its settings in a config file. Where that file is I have no idea. Have you tried searching the AA site?

Hello, I'm buczi from Poland

Now you should be in something like a console version of Windows notepad. Fun stuff. Find the section that goes:


;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice


And try changing it to


;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice

hello, ;)

which version of AA are you guys talking about? Is it the last native linux one or 2.8 that is supposedly running under WINE but doesn't seem to like me.
