Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

Is anyone else also experiencing this issue with IMGui (Performance graph, ...)? It is not interactible at all, nomatter where I try to click. I can't move windows, expand or collapse them, nothing.
Any ideas?

 

I have noticed similar things. It seems to be an issue with it opening other windows as you can click open mod folder but it won't open it as it is probably trying to launch a Windows program from a Windows path but cant

 

Your issue seems 100% unrelated. I am referring to the in-game UIs, like the one KissMP uses. I don't mean the buttons in the menus

 

Well those act like windows I'm pretty sure. I am almost certainly is an issue with opening up the windows as in windowed mode you can take the kissmp windows outside of the BeamNG windows

 

no way you can do that

 

Well, kissmp "works" for me, I think there are some issues with syncing the vehicles, but the menus work as intended

 

After resetting all my settings I am now also experiencing the former.

Good news though: The imgui windows are now no longer broken

 

Yep, everything seems fine accept the loading times taking forever, having to move/resize window to get the game to load, crashing after trying to load into the game after changing graphics settings etc. I am pretty sure on the Linux version of the game will turn out far superior to the Windows version after some updating though
(Arch x64)

 

Hi, you might also have to create a Linux depot, in addition to setting up the launch option in Steamworks.

In my own experience, you'll want to have a platform independent depot which contains platform independent resources (textures, scripts, etc.), and then two platform specific depots. e.g. one containing 'BinLinux', and one containing 'Bin64', or any other Windows specific executables (BeamNG.drive.exe launcher, etc.).
See here for information about setting up the correct platforms for depots: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/depots#depot_mounting_rules
See here for how to build the depots via build scripts: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading You can filter out dlls and exe files for example if you are looking for an easy way to adjust your current build workflow.

Additionally: by creating a Linux depot, your game will not have the SteamOS/Linux badge on the store page without you setting it that way. That way you don't have to worry about advertising an in-dev build as a fully stable one, the Linux build will still be available to download on that platform however. You might want to try configuring these new depots on a beta branch first.

It goes without saying but thanks for providing a native Linux build!

 

Game crashes when loading ( around the forest part ) also very high ram usage compared to wine or windows. And on logs there are this "134.77497|E|updateDescritorSet| Missing VK resource"
Also tried with every graphics settings.

 

I think there might be a *small* VRAM leak issue...

It just keeps climbing until it crashes...
in the menu it is at 2,8
after starting the Garage to Garage delivery in italy it's at 9,2 - 9,3
this time it crashed at 10,7GiB

This might also be the issue why bigger maps don't work (crash while loading)

also seems to be having issues with the navigation UI element, sometimes, in garage to garage deliveries, the blue line is only just in front of the car on the minimap.
This occured while doing a garage to garage delivery on italy btw
also, it's generally very unstable, crashing about every 15min to 1 hour.

 

The issue:
Well, I can't seem to find anyone having the same issue as me, but I can't even run the game. When I execute the binary I get a crash, with no visible errors in the log:

My specs:

OS: KDE Neon 20.04 focal
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.14.0-1048-oem
WM: sway
CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 @ 8x 4.8GHz
GPU: Mesa Intel(R) Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)

Mesa version: 21.2.6


Edit: Maybe worth mentioning running with Proton doesn't work for me either. I get the error code which complains about incompatible DirectX.

 

Indeed it is.

I did also try updating Mesa and that also had no effect. Curious why I get no reported information about what's going wrong, perhaps it's just some kind of segfault somewhere

 

is it iGPUs or is it intel GPUs that are making problems? (are AMD APUs also affected?)

 

ah that explains it.

currently testing this Linux build on a Framework laptop with only an intel iGPU

 

for some reason, I'm still not getting a launch menu, as it should exist according to https://steamdb.info/app/284160/config/ (I don't know if this is intended but the windows option is tagged as linux)

Also can anyone recreate the crash when trying to load up any one of the chase scenarios?

 

There needs to be a Linux Depot available for the Linux launch option to work (There is only a Windows Depot available.)
As far as Steam is aware / cares you are running on Windows so it won't expose any launch options for Linux. If a Linux depot is available and downloaded the launch option should work.
