Building a new system and getting this error when I try to launch the game. Tried reinstalling the game, using an old working install from another machine, verifying game files etc. and still get the error.

System Specs:

OS: Fedora 40
CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X3D
RAM: 64 GB
GPU: AMD RX580 (temp) & RTX 3070 Ti

Any specific map this happens on?

"when I try to launch the game" 😄

valid moss *"when I try to launch the game"* 😄

Which I never heard of before so I'm calling bullshit

Operating system: fedora 40
This could be the issue

#

Incompativility with this linux

obsidian meteor Operating system: fedora 40 This could be the issue

Yeah, no. My other machines that run fedora 40 run the game fine

I've never heard of you before, so clearly you don't exist

#

does the other machines have lower ram than that one? I'm thinking about a overflow somewhere

#

are you running the game from a shared mount or something like ?

#

anything else printed in the terminal when running the game?

cobalt canyon does the other machines have lower ram than that one? I'm thinking about a overf...

Yes, they range from 8-32 GB of RAM

#

this is the only system with 64

#

is the game on a NTFS partition or other "strange" filesystem?

_stat on file /media/storage/Valve/Steam/steamapps/common/Sven Co-op/platform/resource/platform_english.txt which appeared to exist failed!!!

the very same happened to me when I used to ran from a NTFS partition

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:12 AM

#

No. tried it on my primary drive, which is EXT4 and the secondary storage which is XFS

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:13 AM

#

yeah should work from EXT4, dunno about XFS

#

theres some mount params to workaround that but I don't remember which ones are

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:14 AM

#

wonder if the high RAM is causing some divide by zero or something

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

does vanilla HL1 works with your current setup?

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:22 AM

#

yes

#

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:23 AM

#

yeah.. have to somehow replicate this issue

#

i wonder if can set higher than my phisycal ram on a vm 🤔

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:24 AM

#

no

#

swap space can't be actively used to run programs from

#

you said something about XFS possibly not working

#

let me dump my RAID and reformat with EXT4 and see if it changes

#

this'll take awhile, need to mirror it to another array first

#

but while I'm doing that, there's one more issue I'm having

#

I think it was you that helped me get the custom mods working on svenengine before

#

with the latest update, that stopped working again

#

so I can't do -game mod anymore, it just crashes

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:39 AM

#

sven has increased MAX_PHYSENTS, this broke running previous game mods with -game and -basedir yeah

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

dang, so no way to load mods anymore?

#

was really enjoying NS on svenengine

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

unless it gets recompiled with updated pm_defs.h no :/

#

the same happened with HL25 IIRC, so we followed where we didn't bumped before

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:44 AM

#

so would a mod compiled for HL25 work?

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 1:45 AM

#

don't know to be honest, in theory should work

#

Haven't tested any myself, only pre-25 mods

ocean hawk Mar 19, 2025, 1:49 AM

#

Technically speaking, yes. But even then it's not guaranteed to work.

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 1:50 AM

#

NS didn't work without a patch before, it can probably be patched again

#

the alien weapon code was a problem, I'll see if the latest build will launch

proper hatch Mar 19, 2025, 8:14 AM

#

finally got the file system changed over to EXT4 and suddenly the game works

#

man was it a pain to move 2 TB+ of data around

#

you can add XFS to the list of file systems SC won't run on

#

rather odd though because Steam and HL ran fine

versed seal Mar 19, 2025, 1:12 PM

#

proper hatch I've never heard of you before, so clearly you don't exist

ok

ocean hawk Mar 19, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

Huh, wonder if it's a Steam file system API thing where it doesn't handle all file systems properly?
But that would imply that some file systems have behavior that messes with the way POSIX stuff is handled deep down, so that can't be it there. Very strange... 🤔

cobalt canyon Mar 19, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

Engine filesystem API is just a wrapper for low level standard functions, don't remember of anything special in there 🤔

proper hatch Mar 20, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

I attached another disk and formatted it XFS and tried to run SC from it

#

same error

#

so something about the XFS file system it doesn't like

proper hatch Mar 22, 2025, 6:31 AM

#

cobalt canyon don't know to be honest, in theory should work

Tried a HL 25 mod, crashes just the same. I guess the -mod function in SC itself is broken now

cobalt canyon Mar 23, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

Which mod is, if it's public?
