Game crashing using OS Linux 64

[Steras]

I stupidly bought a chromebook Lenovo ideapad i5 and have downloaded steam OS on Linux 64. PZ will install and I’m able to get to the game menu before the game crashes. I’ve tried searching for the issue however can’t find it. Any help? Many thanks in advance.

Unusual, is this the whole game console? It does not even show the game getting into the main menu, also I gave you the wrong Zomboid folder location, on Linux it would be in your Home / Zomboid folder.
Can you instead try running the projectzomboid.sh file in the console? It is located in Steam/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid
It should give us the output of the game loading and we can check for any errors there.

Thanks, this log seems to be correct as it does just crash at loading the main menu, there are no other obvious errors, I suspect this might be an issue with the graphics card through. Can you tell us your full system specifications? What is your processor mainly.
Additionally, can you go to Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid and see if there are any "hs_err_pid" files located there? If yes, can you share the latest one? They usually show more info if it is a graphics related crash.

I also couldn’t find any files marked hs_err_pid I’m afraid

Hm, in that case can you try switching the game version in the Steam betas tab to version 40? The legacy version, I wonder if older versions would work, which would indicate that this might be a graphical issue.

Ah yes this works, so version 45 requires better graphics card I assume or is there a way round this? Thanks for all your help btw 

[Beard]

It does, though usually Linux is really good at handling older graphics cards. Generally Windows wouldnt be able to run the game on that machine but Linux should depending on your drivers you have installed.

I'm also on a Chromebook and am having similar issues.

 

It appears libPZXInitThreads64.so is missing from the Linux install, so the LD_PRELOAD fails because the file does not exist.

 

I'm looking in my install folder here:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid
