A way to run 0AD on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

[Oak]

Hello community,

I would like to know, wheter there's a way to run the 0AD on my PC. I read quite a lot of threads regarding similar issues and become to understand, that there's a problem with newer AMD processors. However, it's not clear to me whether a fix exists and could be applied or if there's some workaround.

The error I get is similar to many other users:

Assertion failed: "cache.Validate()"
Location: cache.cpp:43 (AddCache)
...
(0x7f9aafb1134a) /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xea) [0x7f9aafb1134a]
errno = 0 (Error during IO)
OS error = ?

Hardware:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor

Game version:

0.0.23b-lp152.1.2 (OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 default package and data)

I tried to disable GLSL, but this don't seem to be relevant and didn't work.

I appreciate any help.

Hi @Oak

Welcome to the forums, and thank you for your interest in 0 A.D.

You need to update to OpenSuse 15.3, as this version of 0 A.D. is now outdated, and doesn't support Ryzen CPUs. AMD changed something in those which broke the game.

Hi @Lion.Kanzen & @Stan`!

thank you for caring to give me instructions, it's appreciated! OpenSUSE 15.3 is a Beta, but I'll consider that, since I don't use this computer for work anymore. It's two months before the release date, so it should be working quite fine...

You're welcome Ah I didnt know that, we don't have that many OpenSuse testers reporting back.

I got some issues updating to the Leap 15.3 Beta RC, so that will have to wait. However, I tried to install 0 A.D. on my secondary Linux PC with only a 4 core AMD and it works there! So at least I can test it there (v. 0.23)!

Thanks for helping!
