Hello,

Just installed Wasteland 2 (the Kickstarter version, but I guess all of them work the same for that) on my Debian Sid, using a Radeon HD6850 card with Mesa free drivers.

Globally, it works very well, fullscreen (1920x1080) graphics are fluid and good quality :)

Just a few glitches, that other people could have (hence my forum post, hoping it'll help someone...) :

1. Remember to install the i386 libs, as explained in GOG.com support section, the game is 32-bits only.

2. I had to remove "lib/libstdc++.so.6" from the game's install directory, or else it wasn't able to load the r600 mesa driver. I guess the version bundled in the game is fine for Ubuntu LTS, but is too old for Debian Sid, and hence breaks things.

3. I had to disable "motion blur" in the graphical settings, or I would have corrupt display at high zoom level.

Good work GOG and inXile, despite a few glitches (but then, I'm using an unconventional setup) it works well, and so far I'm enjoying it :)
Hi,

Was not so lucky...

Looks like there's a problem on LInux when using Intel hardware (intel GPU HD-4000 through HD-5200). What happens is that the "fog of war", the zones you're not supposed to see because they are far, is buggy. It's like it's not on the right place. The consequence is : when moving the camera game gets very dark, to the point screen (battlefield) is all black. One can sometimes get light back. Sometimes not. Pretty unplayable.

I tried to upgrade to a recent kernel (re-compile 3.16.3 which is not old) and updated my xserver-xorg-video-intel package (Debian system) to the latest version in experimental which is 2:2.99.916-1~exp1 and it's still the same.

I can fix the problem by using Wine but then encounter some bugs on inventory screens and other popups, bugs which I do not have with the native version.

Hard to know wether the game and/or the drivers are faulty, they obviously don't get well together. Any help welcome. There's a thead on this on : https://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=7518

Have a nice day,

Christian.
