Currently using 12.04 64 bit and Sword & Sworcery crashes my computer. I just want to know is anyone else has a fix or is even experiencing the same problem.

I'm trying to install it with the same setup. I downloaded the x64 deb (as I was having problems installing other HIB titles through Software Center). So I'm currently using GDebi package installer to install it. The installer seems to be downloading additional package files, but no information is given as to what it is downloading or how much longer the download has left.
Anyway, if I do manage to get it installed I'll let you know, if I have the same prob... ... ...

Hi tuppe666
It had to install about 100MB of additional packages, but once that was done everything installed 100%. Game plays fine too thus far I'm not using a sandybridge, I'm using an AMD 1075t, and 6850 Gpu. Do you think that makes a difference? I'm not sure.
Did the game install without any problems for you? Could you elaborate on the details of how the crashing occurs?

I have the same problem. Game crashes for me to.

Unless you provide information on what's happening, it's impossible to help you.

What kind of graphics hardware do you have?

What happens when you run the program from the terminal?

In the event that you installed it to anything other than the default location, you might want to check that paths are correct.

Sorry its got kind complicated, and I don't really understand. It works sometimes and other times it doesn't which is not helpful. It leaves no trace in dmesg or /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_error_state.

My hardware is just an i5-2500K HD Graphics 3000
I cannot see what happens if I run it in terminal, because it crashes X

You may want to check your S&S log. You can get it by typing:

gedit ~/.capy/SwordAndSworcery/log.txt

Feel free to substitute the editor of your choice for gedit.
