I am of the opinion that the problem is that I only have OpenGL 3.1 support while this game needs at least version 3.2

Code:

tahaan@Komputer:/etc$ glxinfo | grep core
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.3.2
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile extensions:

There is a PPA with newer GL drivers (but not for my release of Ubuntu, eg 14.04, here:

That's odd. It would seem to indicate that your OpenGL is needing to be updated. I'm also running K14.04 as my main OS.

This is the report I get on my Core-i5 (HD4600 graphics) system in K14.04:

Code:

rod@Core-i5:~$ glxinfo | grep core
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.1.3
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:

It seems I have OpenGL 3.3. I haven't done anything special (no PPA) to get this that I know of. I don't have a separate graphic card yet, I'm only using the in-built graphics in the Core-i5 CPU (I'm only a very casual gamer).

i would check that you don't have any updates before doing this but the Oiabf ppa worked great when i used to use it on my htpc (need the vdpau & vaapi decode)

sithlord That PPA is only for 15.10 and 16.04

**sithlord48** · Aug 24, 2016, 06:12 AM

oh well stop being on the old stack :P ..
it used to work on 14.04 when i used it, i guess they only support the most recent releases .

**Tahaan** · Aug 24, 2016, 06:38 AM

If 16.04 were even remotely as stable as one would expect an LTS release to be I would move.

I'm finding Neon more stable. Some of its behaviors are not what I want but at least it is consistent!

try adding the backports kde ppa im sure it should make kde much more stable.. qt 5.6 really makes the differance. as all kde releases after the one kubuntu ships with need it . somewhere you can read my rant about 16.04 and why qt 5.6 matter for it .. but yeah lets just say we all knew that the version of qt shipped with the lts was going to cause some serious issues for kde.. and since canonical doesn't care about the kde desktop only their unity one they qt requirments are really only looked at for unity......

Where may I find this rant? Sounds interesting.

**sithlord48** · Aug 25, 2016, 06:21 AM

if you look in my post history you maybe can find it.. it was in a thread where the user was upset about how long kde releases were taking (or i wrote it and didn't end up posting it ) . the tl:dr version is that canonical doesnt care that kde works so they instead of targeting the LTS version of qt targeted the previous stable (the LTS was only out maybe a month or two .. by release mind you, but the qt LTS will get lots of updates that 5.5 series will not). And by doing this they basicly put this kubuntu LTS in a weird spot we can force qt 5.6 and risk breakage of repo apps that are built using 5.5 on the repos or not be able to upgrade kde..
