Vega Strike crashes when trying to run windowed (linux)
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 2:28 am
Hello all, I'm sorry if it's a duplicate but I couldn't find something specifically accurate for this.
At first, vega strike runs correctly and smoothly without a vegastrike.config file with full screen (congratulations for that).
I tried to make it run windowed by writing this config file:
When I try to run it, a blank window appears, and it closes.
If I start if from a terminal, the output is:
I don't think it's important in this case, since it's working perfectly while in full screen, but I'm running Mageia 2 linux 3.3.8 x86_64, ATI radeon HD 4600 working with proprietary drivers. VIA VT82xx sound with free drivers.
Maybe I wrote the config incorrectly, then it wouldn't be a bug, please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Thanks.

You might find that the closed source video driver works much better than the open source radeon driver as it does not support shaders completely so you may still get fp errors.
