Hi there

I've finally come around to installing everspace.

I installed it through the commandline. Not as root, but as a normal user.

When I go to my installation path though and executes ./start.sh

I merely get this output:

Running EVERSPACE
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I've used the shortcuts as well, both the one with system libraries and the other, nothing seems to happen.

What do I do?

I would love a solution to this

I don't even get an error.. it just doesn't load. sh start.sh gives back nothing, it says it is running but nothing pop up...

I wish I knew it was broken upon purchase.. I would not of bought it, it seems like it has been this way for 3 years.

I guess I will have to download the win version and see if it works with wine.. I will check back here and I will let you know what I figure out.

everspace_1_3_5_3655_32896.sh doesn't work.

Linux Version Start Problem:
From the menu or the desktop Icon the game simply didn't start.
When using "GOG Games/EVERSPACE/start.sh" or when running "GOG Games/EVERSPACE/game/EverspaceWithSystemLibraries.sh" or "GOG Games/EVERSPACE/game/EverspaceWithShippedLibraries.sh" then the same error occured:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-call-libc-early-init.c: 37: _dl_call_libc_early_init: Assertion `sym != NULL' failed!

In my case it was the file "GOG Games/EVERSPACE/game/EverspaceWithSystemLibraries.sh" assuming ldconfig is in the path, but at my Debian Bookworm it isn't.

$ sudo which ldconfig
/usr/sbin/ldconfig

So I edited it and changed "ldconfig" to "/usr/sbin/ldconfig"
Problem solved.

To start it to use system libs:
./GOG\ Games/EVERSPACE/start.sh -l

Starting it with shipped libs still gives an error:
./GOG\ Games/EVERSPACE/start.sh -s
Running EVERSPACE™
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-call-libc-early-init.c: 37: _dl_call_libc_early_init: Assertion `sym != NULL' failed!

This keeps being unsolved. I tried to solve it, but failed, so I think it is incompatible shipped libs with my system.

Thanks . In my case it was /sbin/ldconfig .

Thank you. Afaik this relates to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27790
