mau Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 (edited) I just installed the program on my desktop, tried running it; the log doesn't show any issues, the program seems to be running as I can hear the music, and a small icon appears on the taskbar, but no window opens up showing the actual game. This desktop has two graphics cards (1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660). KDE plasma 6.4.5, Wayland I've tried rebooting, and changing it to run with and without "dedicated graphic card", but no dice. I have the same setup on my laptop and it worked flawlessly there. Any idea what could be the issue? Something related to the graphics cards? terminal output on running 0ad: ~$ 0ad TIMER| InitVfs: 298.262 us FILES| Main log written to '/home/mau/.config/0ad/logs/mainlog.html' FILES| Interesting log written to '/home/mau/.config/0ad/logs/interestinglog.html' TIMER| CONFIG_Init: 10.5949 ms Sound: AlcInit success, using OpenAL Soft FILES| Hardware details written to '/home/mau/.config/0ad/logs/system_info.txt' TIMER| write_sys_info: 16.3081 ms FILES| UserReport written to '/home/mau/.config/0ad/logs/userreport_hwdetect.txt' TIMER| RunHardwareDetection: 3.6851 ms TIMER| InitRenderer: 46.5932 ms TIMER| ps_console: 1.68513 ms TIMER| ps_lang_hotkeys: 999.105 us TIMER| common/modern/setup.xml: 80.378 us TIMER| common/modern/styles.xml: 57.197 us TIMER| common/modern/sprites.xml: 521.641 us TIMER| common/global.xml: 153.393 us TIMER| common/setup.xml: 88.298 us TIMER| common/sprites.xml: 163.547 us TIMER| common/styles.xml: 35.29 us TIMER| pregame/backgrounds/: 75.18 us TIMER| pregame/sprites.xml: 57.074 us TIMER| pregame/styles.xml: 11.489 us TIMER| pregame/mainmenu.xml: 20.5134 ms TIMER| common/modern/setup.xml: 70.752 us TIMER| common/modern/styles.xml: 56.116 us TIMER| common/modern/sprites.xml: 797.996 us TIMER| common/global.xml: 144.854 us TIMER| common/sprites.xml: 182.117 us TIMER| splashscreen/setup.xml: 18.885 us TIMER| splashscreen/splashscreen.xml: 6.74986 ms // at this point, the program just sits here, I can hear music but no screen comes up. tail of main log: <p>Loaded config string "view.height.min" = "16"</p> <p>Cannot find config file "config/local.cfg" - ignoring</p> <p>Loading config file "config/user.cfg"</p> <p>Loaded config string "userreport.enabledversion" = "0"</p> <p>Loaded config string "userreport.id"</p> <p>Loading config file "config/user.cfg"</p> <p>Loaded config string "userreport.enabledversion" = "0"</p> <p>Loaded config string "userreport.id"</p> <p>Shutting down profiler2 GPU mode</p> <p>Engine exited successfully on 2025-10-14 at 10:42:30 with 436 message(s), 0 error(s) and 0 warning(s).</p> interestinglog: <!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Pyrogenesis Log</title> <style>body { background: #eee; color: black; font-family: sans-serif; } p { background: white; margin: 3px 0 3px 0; } .error { color: red; } .warning { color: blue; }</style> <h2>0 A.D.

vladislavbelov Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Hi! Could you attach your /home/mau/.config/0ad/logs/userreport_hwdetect.txt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladislavbelov Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Could you try to run the game with the following parameter? $ 0ad -conf=rendererbackend:vulkan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 That worked! The game launched after that. Should I change some config for this to work automatically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Yeah you can change it in the game options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladislavbelov Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 OpenGL might not work because of some X11/Wayland bug, outdated drivers or security reasons, like AppArmor: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7582. To help us you try to run any other game under OpenGL (like supertuxkart). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remigz Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I have the same issue and it seems to be (somewhat) related to KDE Plasma as well, because it launches properly on Sway. Nvidia GPU (latest propriety drivers), runs properly on KDE with the parameter above. Thanks! userreport_hwdetect.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
