ut2004 and Doom 3 segfaulting

[sorcererx84]

Ut2004 and Doom 3 Demo both used to run OK but now both are crashing with a segmentation fault.

I can play ut for a minute or so and then it crashes with the following message:
$ ut2004
WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change!
Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0".
Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault]
Aborting.


Crash information will be saved to your logfile.


Doom 3 demo doesn`t run at all:

The doom3 demo crashes a lot for me. Sometimes I can play for a while before it crashes, sometimes I can only play for a few seconds. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to how or when it crashes. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software problem, but what is your hardware like? I've got an AMD 4200 X2 and a 7800GT. If it's a hardware problem, I thought it might have something to do with the dual core cpu or the video card.

Aside from doom3, I haven't had any problems with this computer.

[sorcererx84]

I have an Amilo M 7440G 1.6 Ghz laptop with i915 integrated graphics. I have installed the 20060107 DRI snapshots for i915 and direct rendering is working. I think it is related to software because I have played both of them previously on the same computer.

[ubernoob]

I had the same problem as you with doom 3.
WARNING: vertex array range in virtual memory (SLOW) indicates that your graphic drivers aren't installed / configured correctly.

"glxinfo | grep rendering" will probably give you "direct rendering: No"

[cayalee]

no, mine comes back as rendering yes. i have these sigsev errors on ut2003 and on americas army. everything is installed correctly and running, just randomly crashes with signal 11 sigsev. warsow (another 3d fps game) works fine.. quite baffled

[ubernoob]

what does glxgears -printfps give?

[sorcererx84]

Installing libsdl1.2debian-alsa fixes the Doom 3 segfault. It is a problem on many debian-based distributions.
I looked for an ut2004 segfault bug in icculus.org bugzilla (https://bugzilla.icculus.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Unreal+Tournament+2004&content=) and there is a bunch of them there.

To ubernoob: How did you fix the WARNING: vertex array range in virtual memory (SLOW) error?

[ubernoob]

i had installed xgl which made my nvidia drivers not support direct rendering. I disabled xgl and installed nvidia drivers all over again. That fixed my problem. I guess your problem might be something with the graphical drivers. check:
glxgears -printfps
glxinfo | grep rendering

and tell us what the output gives.

Is there a easy way to enable and disable xgl?

[ubernoob]

If you do this, you will lose all unsaved data (since you are restarting the x-server) You might want to log out before doing this:

disabling:

ctrl + alt + f1
sudo mv /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom /root/
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

enabling:

ctrl + alt + f1
sudo mv /root/gdm.conf-custom /etc/gdm/
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

[cayalee]

mine gives direct rendering as yes and fps as 1121.
still get the sigsev on americas army and ut2003
not using xgl, just plain ubuntu on gnome.
eve if i disable gdesklets and amarok from running in background it still crashes out sigsev

[sorcererx84]

I have direct rendering enabled, glxgears gives about 1200 fps.

[Ferrat]

Here is a great thread that might help you guys to get the render right =)

Thanks! that worked like a charm!!!! Now I can run Quake 4 when I want, and have xgl when I want!

[ubernoob]

direct rendering: yes and glxgears around 1000? Then i would have had another look at the drivers.

Mine glxgears gives around 7700... What kind of drivers do you use? And what kind of graphical card? Nvidia or Ati?

Edit: And do you use Dapper or Breezy? Changing to dapper might help.

[sorcererx84]

I am using i915gm with 20060107 snapshots and Breezy.

Isn't that a motherboard? And if you are using the onboard graphics, no wonder you don't get it to work. The onboard graphics are meant for desktop use, not for gaming. this test (http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/motherboards/1576_4.html) shows that you will get 3 FPS in doom3 (in windows). So you can't blame this on linux.

I would suggest buying a nvidia graphic card.

It turns out that the problem lies with the order in which the 32-bit X libraries are looked for on 64-bit systems. I don't quite understand all the mechanics, but -- AND THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR XFree86 INSTALLS (vs. X.org installs, which is what Ubuntu has had by default for some years now) -- here's what I've done to get it going. Fairly simple, really; just add
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR=/usr/lib32/dri
to the doom3 wrapper script found at /usr/local/games/doom3/doom3.

Note that you'll need to edit this as root, e.g.,
sudo gedit /usr/local/games/doom3/doom3
Additionally, add it just below the lines that start with hashes. My current file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# Needed to make symlinks/shortcuts work.
# the binaries must run with correct working directory
cd "/usr/local/games/doom3/"
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_DIR=/usr/lib32/dri
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
exec ./doom.x86 "$@"
