Game Crashes when starting
« on: August 13, 2008, 07:06:30 pm »
Hello!
My game (on ubuntu linux), crashes when it starts to load. The screen goes black for a second, then shrinks, then disappears, leaving me at my desktop. Any help would be great, and a fast answer even more so.

Thanks,
William

Run it from a terminal and paste the error here.

As the error message says, you are attempting to use software GL. This means that you do not have the drivers installed for your video card. You can probably install them via the restricted drivers manager if you have an ATI or NVidia card. Otherwise you'll need to download them from www.nvidia.com or www.ati.com
