Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I expected the game to launch. It did not. I did some investigating with ldd, gdb, and strace to debug the issue in case it was a problem on my side. I was earlier getting libfmodex64.so library errors so I installed fmodex, but the issue is persisting. Here are the results from debugging tools on the game and config tool:

debugging results for mount and blade warband

debugging results for mount and blade warband config

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install M&B:W on Arch Linux
  2. Try to play the game via steam
  3. Screen flashes back
  4. Game quits

Hello @gatlinnewhouse, this issue should also be mentioned to the game's dev(s) if it hasn't been already.

When testing outside of Steam, please use ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh to setup an environment similar to when the game is run from Steam.

Can you check if https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/4168#issuecomment-162861105 helps?

Hello @gatlinnewhouse, this issue should also be mentioned to the game's dev(s) if it hasn't been already.

Yes, I have posted on the Steam community forums and emailed their support, although their support staff replied and told me "The error log you provided sadly does not reveal anything. It can be anything, it looks like a general error."

When testing outside of Steam, please use ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh to setup an environment similar to when the game is run from Steam.

Okay cool, thanks, I was just running Steam in the background but that's good to know!

Can you check if #4168 (comment) helps?

Should I use this for only the config bash file or for the game bash file as well?

#!/bin/sh

PROGRAM_DIRECTORY="`dirname "$0"`"
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PROGRAM_DIRECTORY"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/mark/.steam/root/steamapps/common/MountBlade Warband:/home/mark/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32:/home/mark/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/home/mark/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu"

"$PROGRAM_DIRECTORY/mbw_config_linux" "$@"

Made the change to the game bash script wrapper.

Still getting errors:
