Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

I'm still getting the same errors with 0.36. I tried the -cefdev flag, no change. I deleted everything in ~?.local/share/BeamNG.drive, no change.

 

it seems like this new update broke the game on the steam deck every single map takes either 30 minutes to load or never loads the only luck i had was with base gridmap that loads normally any idea what's wrong?

 

Came here to say the same thing. All maps load just fine for me if I'm in desktop mode, but in game mode it takes ages.

 

plus this goes on for 4 and a half more minutes after this btw

 

It seems the crash isn't an issue with BeamNG.drive and more so an issue with the sdl2-compat layer that distributions are upgrading to. A valid workaround is to load the sdl binary from the steam linux runtime. The environment variable to prepend before the game is `SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/home/USERNAME/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0`. I get no crashes after applying this to the game.

 

setting SDL_DYNAMIC_API= Actually fixes Crashing for me too, however I generally still can'T launch the game within Steam since 0.35
