Hello,

I am trying to run Victor Vran on Debian 8 testing. However, I always get segmentation fault errors.
It loads a screen and intermediately crashes, I tried to run it via ./start.sh and directly using games/VictorVranGOG
See below the logs from the shell.
My version is :
Victor Vran
2.7.0.9
2.06 (160226)


Thank you for your help!


./start.sh

This was solved following the advise from robokop
https://www.gog.com/forum/victor_vran/linux_game_does_not_launch/post7

In case the suggestions in the thread linked in the post above do not help (as in my case):

I had the same issue in openSUSE Leap 42.1. In my case the culprit was the SDL library supplied with the game.
After installing libSDL2-2_0-0-32bit and removing game/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSDL2* the game runs fine.

Edit: Actually it was still without sound. So I renamed the whole i386 folder in game and checked the executable with ldd for missing libs. The only ones not available from my system were the following:

libcurl-gnutls.so.4 libgcrypt.so.11 libgnutls.so.26 libidn.so.11 librtmp.so.0 libtasn1.so.3

I copied those to the same directory as the executable, now everything seems to work flawlessly.

Thank you. Helped me.

Thx. Now it works also with sound. I only removed these 2 files...

Hello,

I haven't played Victor Vran for quite long time and today I tried to play it again. However, the game is not working anymore, probably the cause is some upgrade of the OS that i did since last time I played.
I tried to upgrade the client and now the version is:
Victor Vran
2.11.0.13
2.07 (160919)

When i try to run ./start I got a similar error than I was getting before the padsp trick:
Running Victor Vran
./VictorVranGOG: i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0: no version information available (required by /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20)
./VictorVranGOG: relocation error: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20: symbol gpgrt_lock_lock, version GPG_ERROR_1.0 not defined in file libgpg-error.so.0 with link time reference


If I remove libSDL2-2.0.so.0* files I got the error listed below:

Running Victor Vran
./VictorVranGOG: i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0: no version information available (required by /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20)
./VictorVranGOG: relocation error: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20: symbol gpgrt_lock_lock, version GPG_ERROR_1.0 not defined in file libgpg-error.so.0 with link time reference

and ldd ./Victor Vran shows these two libraries missing
libgcrypt.so.11 => not found
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 => not found

Hence when I run ./start.sh, it complains about the lib
Running Victor Vran
./VictorVranGOG: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I cannot install those libraries because they are older that the ones in my system and it would break the current ones.
If I copy those libraries from the ones that were in i386 directory then, it complains about another old libraries, which I cannot install either.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.


Thank you.

Thank you very much Der_Pit!

I reinstalled the game from scratch and followed your instructions and now it is working.

The only difference is that for me libgcrypt11.so.11 was in different directory: ./game/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.11

Regards

Yes, it seems this had been moved by one of the last two patches. I have just installed them (couldn't do this yesterday, as I was on a slow line), and now it is also in the other directory here....

On Arch Linux it gives me Segmentation Fault and I have to rename the whole i386 folder. Now the game runs flawlessly :) I presume it now uses the Steam libraries.

Similar issue to the above poster, but if you're on Fedora using negativo17.org Steam, you may have to launch with something like;

LD_LIBRARY_PATH='${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu:${HOME}/.local/s hare/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/' ./VictorVranGOG

After renaming your i386 folder to something invalid.
