Unable to run Limbo game, SDL/GLX errors

English Games
1

I had gotten the native Linux version of Limbo, by Playdead, directly from the Humble Bundle website since a while ago (I don’t have Steam installed); just now tried to run it.
FWIW, the installer file’s name is “Limbo-Linux-2014-06-08.sh”.
This is certainly a 32bit game.

As as the title says, I’m just getting SDL errors.

Here’s console outputs, which include all repositories, what I tried -and the errors-, and what packages I have installed.

As seen, I also installed the corresponding 32bit versions of all SDL packages installed.

And here’s complete output of glxinfo, which I included since I suspect it may be necessary after my long searches around internet looking for info about my problem.

After looking for the SDL errors around internet, I saw many websites just blamed old GPUs not supporting a minimum OpenGL version. But I really don’t think this is the case. I also tried the game on an older crappy laptop with Leap 42.3, Mesa 17.0.x, and Intel graphics driver i915, which doesn’t even support OpenGL 3.x; and in this laptop Limbo ran perfectly out of the box.

Oh, and I tried another SDL2 game -supertux2 in this case-, and it also ran very well.

Could anyone help with this?
Thanks beforehand.

Sure you have the needed 32 bit libraries???

Well, actually no, not sure.
As pointed in the first pastebin, I only installed 32bit libraries of the already installed 64bit SDL libraries.
In a dumb attempt I even just did “zypper in libSDL*”, but this didn’t change the results.

But there’s little to no information in the official website or around internet. I don’t know what changed from Leap 42.3 to 15.0 affecting this, or what additional packages in 42.3 made the game work.

This is why I finally posted here. I hoped someone could help here with all the info in the pastebins…

Thanks again.

Actually, your post served a lot.
With that in mind I did different google searches, found different answers, found one that sounded logic, compared with old laptop with 42.3, installed the package, and finally worked!
Missing package: Mesa-libGL1-32bit
(I want to think this also obviously pulls glibc 32 bit as well…)

Thanks very much for the hint, sir.
