America's Army wont start. No reasonable explalantion.

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?

[UltraSonicSite]

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.

[UltraSonicSite]

Here's what I get

ultrasonicsite@Ubuntu-Network:/usr/local/games/armyops$ armyops
Can't find file for package 'PixoDrv'

History:

Exiting due to error

[M3ta7h3ad]

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?

[UltraSonicSite]

Ya I posted, they dont know what the prob is either. Also, another user in the AA forums also has this problem.

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,

[Zilulil]

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.
