This is a list of problems/bugs that keep happening to me on my Linux installs.
Install
1:Please add libgdiplus as a dependency to the install page.
2:People are told to launch spring directly through the command line to get proper error messages about their missing dependencies. Chobby.exe returns a really ambiguous error message on missing dependencies. Also, it complains very loudly about missing Steam, which affects nothing, which causes confusion.
Chobby
3:After launching Spring, almost all text disapears from Chobby. Also, some button presses are ignored. Persists until Chobby is closed. Happens consistently on some configurations. (never seen this happen on nvidia, but can happen consistently on intel)
4:
Flickering. This time it happens for me on Intel, but not Nvidia. Workaround works, but please fix it altogether.
The Game
5:Weird Intel-specific graphical wierdness. That is:
LOS is blocky and updated exactly once per second.
Radar is only blue and also blocky.
Con icon is a black square. (only ground cons, not aircons)
Wierd colored pixels next to windgens on the ground at a specific zoom level
6:Really bad FPS compared to Windows. I did a quick test and found out:
(Singleplayer skirmish on TitanDuel with 100 glaives and NullAI)
Linux(Intel): Around 19 FPS
Linux(Nvidia): Around 19 FPS
Windows: 45-60 FPS
Why do I have the same framerate on Intel and Nvidia? That also makes no sense. Also, I my memory may be bad, but I feel I always had bad framerates on both Windows and Linux and a semi-recent update made the frames on Windows better. But I also remember framerates being better on Nvidia. Also Windows seems to have worse lag spikes.
7:Hard lockups
When ZK crashes (usually on Spring load or exit) it takes the computer along with it. Even tty switching does not work. Only the power button. Still need some more testing.
I can help with replicating, most of these happen to me consistently.
Infolog i guess
