Tremulous Startup Crash

[pxc]

Hi. I'm running Sabayon Linux 3.0RC2 miniEdition. It's essentially Gentoo with XGL and an installer. Because of this, I'm using xgame to start the game in a new X session, so that's what the X server garbage is about. Anyhow, when I start up Tremulous, I get all sorts of happy output, and then it dies, seemingly out of nowhere.

Tremulous segfaulted while loading vm/ui.qvm. What version of Tremulous do you have?

[pxc]

1.10. I've tried installing the game using the emerge command (the game is hardmasked for some reason, though) and through the *x86.run file, but both give me this error when I try to play. Is there any way to get a separate copy of this file?

If you know any fixes, please share. This game is really fun, and was definitely the spotlight at my last LAN party!

[rasz_pl]

what file?
newest executable is here
http://trem.tjw.org/backport/linux/tremulous.x86

[Caveman]

You are not running a 32bit binary in an 64bit environment?

[pxc]

Nope. I have a Pentium IV.

[pxc]

what file?

The UI vm file (assuming it's its own file..?)

[kevlarman]

what file?

The UI vm file (assuming it's its own file..?)

it isn't, it's in vms-1.1.0.pk3, which should be in $yourtremdir/base/ (this folder should also have a bunch of maps, if it doesn't, you forgot the tremulous-data)

[pxc]

It's there, as are the maps, but Tremulous still crashes on start up. As a side note, the Tremulous window comes up fullscreen before the game crashes. It's still black, and it disappears almsot as soon as it appears.
