I guess this is kind of cheating, but I'm not at all familiar with working with dbus, so I created another new user and migrated all of my non system-related stuff (aside from SSH) over to the new user, and it works now.

Alright, so after running gdb (since the 0ad provided in the Arch package is stripped), in addition to the text in the OP, I get this Thread 1 "pyrogenesis" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00007f6b53c988c0 in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) backtrace #0 0x00007f6b53c988c0 in raise () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f6b53c99f72 in abort () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007f6b035e78a7 in ??

I'm not sure how much help that is.

I'm not sure why I didn't think to try this before, but I decided to create a new user to try to run it there, and it works. Also, on a hunch I logged out of XFCE, stopped the lightdm service, and started the X server with "startxfce4" in my ~/.xinitrc, and it worked, so it might have something to do with lightdm. Update: Ok, so I tried it with SDDM, and it still won't start. I'm going to try to build it from source and use gdm to see if I can find some useful information.

I tried to start 0 AD, but nothing showed up. When I ran it in the terminal, I got this: Cache: 400 (total: 15978) MiB TIMER| InitVfs: 1.08514 ms TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 961.83 us Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft TIMER| shutdown ConfigDB: 1.54 us TIMER| resource modules: 1.69955 ms TIMER TOTALS (9 clients) ----------------------------------------------------- tc_png_decode: 0 c (0x) tc_dds_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_pool_alloc: 71.143 kc (3x) tc_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_plain_transform: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderGLSLLink: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderGLSLCompile: 0 c (0x) tc_ShaderValidation: 0 c (0x) xml_validation: 0 c (0x) ----------------------------------------------------- TIMER| shutdown misc: 299.19 us Cache: 400 (total: 15978) MiB TIMER| InitVfs: 88.8623 ms TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 999.77 us Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft process 17349: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1371. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace /usr/bin/0ad: line 9: 17349 Aborted (core dumped) "$pyrogenesis" "$@" This happened when I used the 0ad package in the official repository, so I decided to download and built the source myself, but I had the same issue there. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I just file a bug report?
