Fixing black textures under GNU/Linux

Seems that some might have a problem with black textures when running Overgrowth under GNU/Linux.

Try to run the game with the locale set to en_US, like: In Steam, the launch option would be:

a203 crashing on GNU/Linux right before entering a level. GDB log: (gdb) run The program being debugged has been started already. Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y Starting program: /home/marcus/GAMES/Overgrowth/Overgrowth.bin.x86_64 warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vds...

My main reason for wanting to hold off on public announcements is to get all the big kinks out in the first few Linux alphas so newer Linux users can focus on game issues instead of Linux specific bugs. I totally understand that from a developers point of view, but I don't ask you to go out and giv...

Information regarding the Linux build has always been available via several sources, one of the main ones I can think of being Overgrowth Weekly. Because I informed Phoronix does not mean that I'm some traitor to the forums. The secrecy is to make sure that new preorderers are less disappointed in ...

That was when it was fine to do so... I'm sorry if it annoyed you, I simply think that we'll be getting new visitors in these exciting times, and the thread moves by at a very quick pace for them to notice.

I seem to be experiencing 100% CPU however.

Just tested this out myself and I can confirm that it's working pretty darn decent. Cannot confirm here; relevant details are Wine 1.4 from source, nVidia GeForce 9600 GSO (driver version 295.20), and Debian on x86_64. What video card are you running, Marcus? nVidia 460 GTX with the 295.33 drivers.

Thanks jeff. Today, I was thinking to myself: "Has anyone tried running Overgrowth on Wine lately?" Since a133, Overgrowth did not work on Wine for a long while and there were no reports on this thread to prove that it does in more recent alphas. Due to the dauntingly large initial downlo...

Ok, everyone rejoice.. Progress HAS been made.. And no, QT isn't really an option as Awesomium is pretty well "entrenched" in the code base. BUT the latest version of awesomium actually 'Seems' to work w/o crashing the game. Anyways.. https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3447934/2/Wolfire/Teas...

You need to preorder the game (which I doubt you have, since you're not in the preorder-group)

Only thing that bugs me is this:

Posted on October 17th. Haven't heard or seen much progress since then.
