Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

Just tried out the new update, mostly seems really good, some thing that are hard to point out graphics and performance wise seem better than before, but iut might be placeboo.
Only thing I noticed was an immediate crash on startup when running inside of steam. it launches fine when I run it directly

 

I had that issue as well, followed by a pop-up with something along the lines of "Game could not be initialized".

Spoiler: Log

Code:

  0.59191|D|initialize| Could not initialize Steam functions
  0.59193|E|Steam| Could not initialize - Error code 1

 

I experienced that crash too. Created a desktop file with the new script (BeamNG_install_desktop_file.sh) inside "BinLinux" folder.
Had to put SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 in the desktop file environment variables. Otherwise it won't start on Fedora 41, KDE Plasma Wayland.
Too bad VR still don't work due to the game not implementing "VK_KHR_image_format_list" extension, which is required by Monado.
I can still play, if I compile Monado with an older commit "b4fe9aaa". Would be nice to use an up to date Monado, though. SteamVR has never worked for reasons unknown, but I try to avoid using it as much as possible.

Log attached.

 

Huh. At least for me, that always worked, but I only got my steering wheel after 0.34 dropped, so who knows

 

I just tried it, seems like it still does not work.

 

I have a Moza R5 steering wheel and the D-pad on the wheel works with the new radial menu (E) and with the regular menu (ESC), but it won't work in walking mode or adjusting the seat in the car. The seat adjustment does not work with WASD either but walking does.

 

The weird digital stick on the csl dd base steering wheel doesn't work for me on kde neon with hid-fanatecff drivers

Trying a new save in career mode, my entire system freezes when the career intro ui pops up (no tutorial). Here are the logs around when it happened

It actually seems to be a memory shortage issue, since reducing the number of traffic cars solved the issue

 

Hi, my game was working fine until I updated to the new version 0.35.

Now my game won't lunch anymore via the Linux binary, a blank window appears for a few seconds then it seems to crash.

I thought maybe something got corrupted during the installation, so I ran the steam files integrity validator and it still crashed, then I also tried the BeamNG file validator too via WINE, it said one file was missing however the game still proceeds to fail to start. The WINE Vulkan version via steam starts up fine however.

Lastly I decided to take half an hour to completely uninstall and reinstall the game but still found no luck.

I've posted the full console output below. I really hope someone can help me find a conclusion to this. I'll try my best to provide you with any extra information you need about my system.

Okay I tried the new `BeamNG_install_desktop_file.sh` script and after executing the .desktop it created or my custom .desktop file that I've been using myself for a while it seems to launch. This is a little weird and the log files didn't point me to this one but hey I'm not complaining it seems to work so far.

 

Hi,

In version 0.34, I had to set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 to launch BeamNG. With version 0.35, with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland, I can see a window but it's full blank/grey. I can hear menu sounds when moving the mouse tho, the screen remains blank/black/grey.

Otherwise in xwayland mode it working good. It would be great to have full native Wayland support tho.

Thanks!

 

I still have the black frame insertion like problem at more than 60fps.

 

Awesome! This is great news! For me, on amdgpu/mesa and not using VR this is the only issue left with the Linux port. Everything else I've noticed during my testing has been fixed. Thank you so much for all your hard work on this! Also performance and FFB are great in this new version I think. I'm not sure if there was a specific thing that improved it or just lots of small optimizations but I definitely notice a difference.

 

Awesome! Will you also update SDL to version 3? I see that you using 2.32.0 at the moment
Thanks a lot

 

I'm pleased to report that version 0.35.3 fixes the

Code:

VK_KHR_image_format_list

problem on Linux, so now VR mode works with up to date Monado.
Thank you and have a nice weekend!

 

The dpad on my G27 doesn't work on the Linux version yet. Is there any way to fix this? I use it for moving the camera around.

 

Another great update has always, v0.35 fixes the controller issue I was having with the Game Sir game pad I had! (Just left stick is still inverted, but can easily fix that)

Notice the desktop file installer script, only nick pick is might want to add, Categories=Game; to it so it shows up in the Game category in Applications menus (Gnome, KDE etc).

 

Some linux distributions (like opensuse) store their CA certificates in a different place, causing the beamNG online features to not be accessible on those distros. On openSUSE the certificate bundle is located at /etc/ssl/ca-bunble.pem but it should not be used and it includes how BeamNG should get the CA certificates instead (looks like it should work on other distros)
This is what the disclaimer in the file says:
"
# Use of this file is deprecated and should only be used as last
# resort by applications that do not support p11-kit or reading /etc/ssl/certs.
# You should avoid hardcoding any paths in applications anyways though. Use
# functions that know the operating system defaults instead:
#
# - openssl: SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths()
# - gnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust(cred)

I am using openSUSE tumbleweed
