GOG - X Rebirth install - KDE

**lord_valarian** · 05-Feb-2018, 14:46

In MSWIN10, GOG "X Rebirth" freezes after about 3-10 mins. I can't get anywhere.

How do I install "X Rebirth" in OPENSUSE Leap 42.3? Also, I have the two downloaded modules.

Need help...

There is a linux version of X-Rebirth. Are you using the correct download?

x_rebirth_home_of_light_dlc_en_gog_3_16977.sh module

x_rebirth_teladi_outpost_dlc_en_gog_3_16977.sh module

I tried on the command line in superuser mode, using the above lines, higher permissions needed. Enter superuser mode. Same result. ??

./filename.sh same result. ??

I really wouldn't recommend running shell scripts you downloaded from the internet as root unless you want to bork your system

nothing wrong there just some warning messages related to the gtk theme you use you can always change the grk theme and/or ignore those messages
did the download come with a readme file?
do you have enough space in your /home and/or / partitions as you ran that shell installer both as ordinary user and root it could be the redistributable files are over compressed and need a lot of time to decompress or you could be running out of space?
just run the shell installer as an ordinary user and wait, the waiting time will depend on your hardware

Code:

sh x_rebirth_en_4_30_16978.sh

**lord_valarian** · 19-Feb-2018, 22:52

I installed in normal user mode and the install works. I clicked on the icon and it showed an error. I opened a terminal window from the icon properties. When I started 'start.h', I received this output.

the above errors suggest install didn't finish successfully '
the mkdir error suggest a permission issue I'm guessing you are trying to install the game in your home folder and not in another user's home ?

There is only one user, myself. I block external logins. I tried to install to my home directory, not in superuser mode. I have a 'GOG games' directory in my home directory.

a google search reveals this

apparently it's a driver/mesa issue
that's an old thread as LEAP comes with mesa 17.0.5
it's probably a video card/driver issue what driver do you have?

I'm testing it on my 10 year old laptop, opensuse 42.3, and with a video card. It too slow for any game newer than 10-15 years old. I'll assume it's using mesa. I might be able to run empire earth gold edition.

My tower is not working. So, I can't test with a modern video card.
