Hi,

When I run launcher I have:

Code:

Unable to preload the following plugins:
libSDL2-2.0.so.0

But I got this:

The game have proper libSDL2-2.0.so.0 or use system wide library? You can see with ldd to executable game command _________________ Questions are guaranteed in life; Answers aren't.

I poked around a little.
They have something for SDL2 in their plugins directory at ./game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.so.0, and on my system, it is missing a few things (e.g. libpulse.so).

Code:

So maybe some of those missing dependencies of their SDL2 is the problem. By comparison, my machine's SDL2 has these deps:

Code:

linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc0a9a6000)

From watching the strace, I see them stat (look at, mostly) their version of SDL2, then open mine, then open theirs. After they open theirs, they attempt to find libpulse. They fail, then they quit. Here's the relevant part of the trace:

^^ not sure why, but it looks like they try again, and still fail.

16851 write(1, "Unable to preload the following "..., 41) = 41
16851 write(1, "\tlibSDL2-2.0.so.0\n", 18) = 18

^^ then they quit

from looking at the two files, their version doesn't have certain functions. For instance, I compared the symbol tables, and I have SDL_LoadFile_RW, but they don't. That's just an example. There are about 40 functions in my version that theirs is missing. Perhaps they expected an older version of SDL2. Mine is actually libSDL2-2.0.so.0.7.0.

I also noticed that you can't just change their game_x64/Albion-Online_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.so.0. When you start the launcher, but before you hit play, they reinstall all of their .sos in that Plugins directory. However, you *can* wait til the launcher starts, then copy in your own version, and then hit Play.

That gets past the 'preload' complaints, but there's a huge caveat: perhaps they had a good reason for using their own library. Not sure, and I don't recommend doing that.

Anyway the game just locks up its window and does nothing. I can see it's spending its time here:

Code:

79.05% Albion-Online libSDL2-2.0.so.0.7.0 [.] SDL_AtomicLock_REAL
13.88% Albion-Online libSDL2-2.0.so.0.7.0 [.] SDL_InitDynamicAPI
3.62% Albion-Online libSDL2-2.0.so.0.7.0 [.] SDL_AtomicUnlock_REAL
3.22% Albion-Online libSDL2-2.0.so.0.7.0 [.] SDL_WasInit_DEFAULT

So it's not happy about something SDL is doing. Probably due to my nasty hack.

The right answer probably is to install libpulse, libsndio, and libwayland. I'm not going to install pulseaudio just for this game.

Incidentally, here are a few related posts:

https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/76824-Linux-Mint-SOLVED-Can-t-load-libSDL2/
https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/55320-Linux-Error-with-SDL2-while-launch-the-game/

One quote from those posts was interesting:

Quote:

(w0lfwood)
The crux of this problem is that Albion includes its own version of libSDL2, which is linked against wayland (which itself requires mesa to be built with egl support) and a BSD derived sound library, sndio, both of which are unlikely to be available on a default install of any distro. Furthermore, Albion ONLY works with SDL 2.0.4. whereas .5 or .6 is now standard on most distros, but it will not satisfy Albion.

To the extend that installing SDL has ever fixed anyone's issues with Albion, it has been because it brought in some missing dependency, not because the game actually uses the system's library.

That sounds pretty accurate given what I'm seeing.
