BKGaming: I see S2TC stuff. You talking about libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 a patent-free S3TC compatible implementation which provides texture compression to Mesa?
Yes. I don't use a Debian-derivative, so I can't help you with the exact names, but I think there's two packages with that prefix. Install both and try running the game.

Daliz: I think yes. I had an HD6870 and fglrx was better for gaming overall.

(Note that with video driver switching there is a small chance that something goes wrong and you will not be able to start the X server. Easiest way to get X back up in that case is to remove the fglrx package and reboot. Usually the pre-packaged distro-specific drivers work without a hitch though. Edit. Removing would be something like "sudo apt-get remove fglrx-blah-blah")

BKGaming: Thank you, which is the correct one though: fglrx version 2:13:350.1-0ubuntu2 or fglrx-updates 2:13:350.1-0ubuntu2?
I would go with fglrx version 2:13:350.1-0ubuntu2 as both version numbers are the same. I think the one with updates is for those with older driver versions :)

That didn't appear to work, so I installed the actual AMD driver and now Door Kickers is working. I'm sill having issues with mount and blade when trying to get it working. But it appears to be a problem with packages. libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 won't install do I need libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 or libwayland-egl1:i386 for it to install?

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 : Depends: libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 (>= 10.0.2) but it is not going to be installed or
libwayland-egl1:i386

Question though for anyone, I thought by using the deb installers is was suppose to install all needed packages?

Thank you Judas, that is what I used... if you could help me with the package issue with mount and blade I'd be set. Lol

Unfortunately, even with deb files, you may need additional libraries that are usually best when installed via your distro's APT command as that makes sure everything is installed where it needs to be.

Please check the Linux system requirements for whichever Mount & Blade is not working for you. There should be a "Requires the following packages to be installed..." line there.

I did and when I also run gog-mount-and-blade-warband in terminal I get:

Running Mount And Blade - Warband
./mb_warband_linux: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I try to install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 which is needed for Warband, I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 : Depends: libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386 (>= 10.0.2) but it is not going to be installed or
libwayland-egl1:i386

But I'm not 100% sure what that means and which ones is needed for libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 to install.

The package stuff is still a little new to me...

Interesting. We try to make sure that you only have to run the "sudo apt-get...." command once.


Anyways, try running

sudo apt-get install libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386

from terminal and see if that works for you.

Only if the "stuff" is older than what the command installs.

Okay, well it's installed... will try to install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 now. It said stuff like:

Removing mint-meta-cinnamon (2014.12.09) ...
Removing cinnamon (2.4.6+rebecca) ...
Removing caribou (0.4.13-0ubuntu1) ...
Removing gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0 (1.4.4-3ubuntu2.2) ...
Removing gir1.2-muffin-3.0 (2.4.3+rebecca) ...

Worried me when it said removed cinnamon (2.4.6+rebecca) I didn't know if was actually removing cinnamon or not. Lol

It was probably, but don't quote me on this as I am not 100% sure, just removing older versions of those libraries/files. As long as you don't type sudo apt-get remove <package name> you don't have to worry about your system getting broken :)

Erm, but my system is broken now. o.O

Restarted and am only getting a black screen. Cinnamon isn't coming up.

Can you get to a terminal screen for now and see if you can install the packages you listed earlier? I am not sure why installing a file needed for libsdl would remove Cinnamon and the rest O.o

Nope I can't get to anything, just a black screen.

From what I recall, Ctrl-Alt-F1 should switch you to a terminal screen. Some of the other function keys may also work.

You guys might want to look into this, because it appears to be a problem.

By the way I'm on a windows laptop for now.

That worked, but I'm not sure of all that was broken. I still have the ISO file, I'll just do a re-install I guess.
