I have just purchased SS3 BFE and I have tried to launch it under my Linux Beta client, however I am unable to get this to work.

The output on the console when I attempt to launch is

Game update: AppID 41070 "Serious Sam 3: BFE", ProcID 8526, IP 0.0.0.0:0

I get no graphical output on the screen, no black screens etc.

I am running Linux Mint 14, Mate desktop.

The game has just been downloaded and installed today.

Try upgrading your graphics driver to 3.10

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve

I updated the drive to 3.10, now I am getting Failed to load steamui.so

EDIT - Fixed steamui.so error with -SS3 still not running
sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/lib32\n/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa\n" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/steam.conf' && sudo ldconfig

Output from SS3 is

I tried running SS3 wtih

sudo steam

However this caused steam to crash completely, which doesn't happen when not using sudo

Hi all,
I was assisted in finding a link to help solve this issue.

I had to chown steam.pid to myself as the permissions were -rw-r--r-- root root. So I made myself the owner


chown me:users ~/.steam/steam.pid

This link has a script to assist as well. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/264

I made the script and ran it from ~/Steam while steam was running and BAM I have SS3.

Thanks for the assistance.
