Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

Okay with 0.35, I think I can confirm my flickering issues on Wayland are gone.

 

Sorry I was wrong, flickering is still there. As this is a vulkan issue I'll once again ignore it from now on for this thread. Sorry for the inconvenience I may have caused.

 

0.35 works rather well, i even managed to load into italy !
However it seemed i had a lot of shaders to compile or something cuz it tooks several minutes at 100% cpu to load into it with nothing moving in the game window. Not sure if this is vulkan entirely or linux specifics, but a special "compiling shaders/whatever, please be patient" written somewhere would be a nice touch.
Solid performances ingame all around ! Very fluid 100fps on my 5800x (and 6900xt)
I tried to symlink my mod folder from the windows version, and i had a "mod mounting error". The mods were showing in the mod manager but thats it.
However, after deleting the user folder for 0.35, the game doesnt start anymore. The 0.35 folder is recreated, but not fully, and beamng.log is empty.
You are so close to greatness !

 

Does the Hirochi Raceway map crash the game for anyone else? (Windows/Proton it works fine)

 

hmm, strangely think it's my current KDE Neon install also (broke it once lol), tried Linux Mint from a live USB, the map loaded in fine

running on a 7800XT.

 

I like to call this a WTFudge bug

 

Using endeavouros. Everything works fine. I even got more fps than on windows.
Specs:
I9-13900K
RTX 4060ti 16 GB
32 GB RAM

 

I get this error on startup: Error in Modmanager. Error mounting mods.

Repo mods work fine but the ones I manually download to the mods folder don't show up.

OS: Bazzite KDE
Specs:
Ryzen 7 7700
RX 6950 XT
32GB RAM

 

I'm getting Lua errors in trying to load Career mode. Worked fine today with 0.35.4, but after a crash (AMDGPU related) I started having these. Free roam mode still works fine.

Spoiler

The "open mod folder" button doesn't work, it would be helpful if it did since you don't really have a clue where the userfolder is located otherwise

 

My game doesn't open when using mesa 25.0.3-1 and gives this error

Code:

[843819:843819:0412/192452.346484:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(423)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

Rolled back to mesa 25.0.2 and the game works
I'm uploading the crash.zip because I got an error while uploading

 

Since 0.35 if I try to launch the linux version through Steam (add as non-steam game so I can get the overlay) it will show a black screen and crash like 90% of the time. If I turn off steam overlay it will work

 

When I attempt to launch the game, it crashes. The output from the command is here:
https://pastebin.com/nurcPrUV

I have 2 GPUs that are compatible, an eGPU in the form of an GTX1070, which according to the logs the game is attempting to run on, and a internal dGPU. I don't think this is an issue since it finds the 1070, but I thought I should mention it. I also don't know if the `.dmp` mentioned in the logs would be helpful or if they contain potential personal information, but I can provide it if necessary.

I am using Arch Linux on Sway (Wayland) on kernel 6.14.2-arch1-1, and NVIDIA proprietary drivers version 570.133.07-1 via the nvidia-dkms package. I am on the latest BeamNG version, 0.35.5.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist in figuring out what's going on.

EDIT: I ran it with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland and it launches, but I only get a solid grey screen. The output is here: https://pastebin.com/FxTisZ6G

Running with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 crashes with this:
https://pastebin.com/yb9Qt5gj

 

I love that I can now open folders from inside the game however packing mods is very unreliable still (I always back up before packing, so I was able to double check). Also if I change a file name, or folder name (or create either), I have to close the game and restart, otherwise the game won't find it (this isn't a big issue, because I restart often anyway when making mods)

 

Update, disabling my dGPU fixes it. BeamNG now runs properly, even though I had tried running it with MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=10de:1b81! which to my knowledge should force only my eGPU to present itself to the game. But it works!

 

Guys, I have some questions about the game on Linux for those who already use it. Do the mods work without problems? Is there a better distro to use with the game? (I'm thinking of trying ZorinOS)

 

1: Yes, all mods should work, just make sure that the zip names are all lowercase or you get a mounting error
2: Just find whatever works for you, most distros are just Debian/Arch with a few extra packages. I recommend something Debian based though because Arch likes to break if you don't know what you're doing
