x86-64 Startup Crash on Linux

[isopropyletherperoxide]

Details

Each time i try to start Garry's Mod on the x86-64 branch it crashes with no error message. The game runs fine on dev and normal branches, only crashing on chromium and x86-64 I have attempted factory resets and integrity checks to no avail. OS: Gentoo/Linux x86_64 UPDATE: dev branch crashes on map launch, but main branch works fine Crash logs:

Can confirm. For some reason the GLES libraries are looked for in bin/linux64/swiftshader while they really are just in bin/linux64.

In my case the game starts after making a symlink for it. In bin/linux64 : ln -s . swiftshader

(No menu UI is visible though. oof) (EDIT: can get into a game with issuing a command from ingame console map gm_construct and it works as expected except the lack of ESC menu.)

I had the same issue, same results with the swiftshader symlink, rather https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/5092#issuecomment-1054453220 fixed it fully

[coreybruce]

Is this being fixed?

[IkaSek]

Sadly it does not seem to be fixed yet.

[coreybruce]

That's a pain, like how is this a issue that still hasn't been fixed?

[IkaSek]

No bloody idea, @robotboy655, could you perhaps get on this?

[stevenlafl]

Same issue. Kubuntu Desktop

[Delofon]

I second this. Technically you can get into the game with chromium but addons utilizing it don't work. Not even Proton helps. P.S. Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon

[LillyWho]

Update November 22: Issue persists. Game tries to load libGLESv2.so from directory "swiftshader". Symlinking wasn't enough for me (presumably because of the partition being NTFS), so I copied all libraries into a folder, which then worked. The main menu is still broken however.

Same issue on Void Linux and was fixed by https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/5092#issuecomment-1054453220 Didn't have to do anything else.
