Europa Universalis IV encounters Segementation Fault and crashes to desktop

English Games
#1

When I try to run EU4 from steam I get a crash to the desktop so I tried running the eu4 binary from Konsole and I get this output:


$ ./eu4
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 236850
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID:  Caching Steam ID:  76561198024938745 [API loaded no]
[1]    5289 segmentation fault  ./eu4

Running with -skiplauncher gives this:


 ./eu4 -skiplauncher
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 236850
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID:  Caching Steam ID:  76561198024938745 [API loaded no]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CFileException'
[1]    5999 abort      ./eu4 -skiplauncher

I am not sure what is going on or how to further debug the issue. I am using openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.13 and nvidia proprietary drivers (337.25). Any advice would be appreciated.

PS: I already tried using the “easy way” nvidia drivers but they do not work either so I switched to the “hard way” in hopes that it might help, which it didn’t.

Hi
Run ldd against the binary (eu4?), if eu4 is the binary, run with gdb’


gdb eu4
(at the prompt, type)
run

Hi
So, something in GfxDraw () perhaps? Might be better to hit the steam forum and see if they can further debug?

#6

I posted on the EU4 forums but no reply yet. Its funny because the game runs fine with wine…

#7

A shot in the dark, but perhaps try to install the python-pygame package; I notice that that is the package which provide GfxDraw on the OS 13.1 system, and it was not installed as a steam dependency package on my system at least.

Just a guess though, and you might have tried, or installed, it already.

Cheers,
Olav

Installed it but I dont think it helped.

Okay so I went to the trouble of doing a fresh install, fresh steam profile (remove any steam folders) -> nothing changed
Downlaoded Manjaro (openbox) and installed it -> nothing changed

So it definately is not a distro specific issue, perhaps its the nvidia proprietary drivers?

#10

Hello.

Just some more thoughts (guesses):
Are the libsdl-gfx 32bit installed?
Have you installed the nvidia drivers 32bit components (I suppose you have)?

I searched around for EU4 linux issues but could not find much, for whatever reason, it seems to mostly run fine.

#11

Yeah I had those installed but still nothing :\

Its not my hardware because I can run the game in WINE but not natively.

#12

Okay so I made a new account on my system and tried to run the games from there but no good, still get segfaults. So its not anything steam settings related, I wonder what it could be. :sarcastic:

#13

The quest continues, here is some debug output from the new user and it looks different than the one from my normal account.

Do the other native steam games run OK?

I have not played around much with starting steam games from the terminal so I had a go:

Launched from steam this game runs just fine; I don’t know why, some static libraries in the steam folder perhaps?

What if you tried to launch the game with: steam steam://rungameid/xxx

#15

Crusader Kings 2 seems to struggle running too (it launches but after loading it crashes) which is strange because I used to be able to play it perfectly fine on openSUSE (I have over 100 hours in it). EuroTruck Sim 2 works fine though so perhaps it is an issue with the engine used in both EU4 and CK2 (they use the same one). I am going to attempt downloading Trine 2 and see if it crashes.

#16

Have you tried this already?
https://en.opensuse.org/Steam#Loading_Steam_without_local_runtime_to_avoid_crash_or_game_play_without_sound

STEAM_RUNTIME=1 could be worth a try as well, although that should be the default anyway.

#17

When I do that I get this error and steam fails to launch but the 32 bit libraries are installed ()


Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:

In other news, Trine 2 and FTL both launched and played fine so its probably an issue with some engine update Paradox pushed.

#18

And in surprisingly great news I was able to get the game to work by rolling back to 1.6.0, as I suspected it was some patch that Paradox has pushed which is causing the issue. Thanks to all of you for helping in this thread :slight_smile:

PS: If you dont know how to roll back, select the game in your library > Properties > Betas and select the version you want. rotfl!

#19

Ah, ok.
Somebody else had this issue in a different thread recently.

The “problem” is that libbz2-1-32bit only contains those files:

:~> rpm -ql libbz2-1-32bit /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1

/usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0.6

So you would have to manually create a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0
#20

Thank you wolfi, that got rid of the “problem”. However that was not the issue, in fact the solution I posted above only worked temporarily. As it turns out the error “terminate called after throwing an instance of **‘CFileException’” **is related to case sensitivity which of course is important in Linux. But the creators did not know/care about this and just seem to assume that it does not matter which causes the game to crash for me. The solution was simply to create an NTFS filesystem and copy the steam library onto it. After doing that EU4 seems to launch fine. What a dumb bug.
