Hi everyone, I can't start the game, it goes through the galaxy evolution sequence and then crashes withGL_INVALID_VALUE. I'm not sure what the minimum requirements are, I'm using a P4 2.4ghz system with 4gb ram. Video card is ATI R481. OpenGL version is 2.1. OS is Ubuntu 13.10. I've attached opengl.txt and appended the command line output Thanks for your help. - James /usr/local/src/pioneer-20140507-linux32$ ./pioneerver 20140507 (660269d) on: LinuxSystem Name: LinuxHost Name: diessRelease(Kernel) Version: 3.11.0-20-genericKernel Build Timestamp: #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 21:31:50 UTC 2014Machine Arch: i686Domain Name: (none)Failed to set video mode.

We're not 100% sure what the minimum requirements are at this point, but we know you're on the borderline. Your best bet at this point is to try the vendor drivers rather than the open-source drivers.

You can try two things. First is opening your config.ini file and set the line "DisableEclipse=0" to "DisableEclipse=1", but if that fails to work then try the closed source AMD drivers, because although they're more of a pain to use on Linux they're much more likely to work (and are 3 times faster).

Maybe you don't have libtxc-dxtn installed? See [url]http://pioneerwiki.com/wiki/FAQ[/url] hame crashes after the loading screen. I'm using ATI free drivers on GNU/Linux)

Thanks for the help guys. The DisableEclipse line didn't help, and I already have libtxc-dxtn installed. I can't use the proprietary drivers, my card is too old. So I'll probably have to switch to an even older NVidia card Time to buy a new PC methinks.
