Hard crashing

[graffy]

So, I started a new game and was about 2 days in. Found the gun and had the great luck of killing a bear from the porch of one of the cabins on Mystery Lake. Actually, the first shot didn't kill, so I ran in the cabin. As soon as I opened the door, Long Dark crashed.

I restarted, and it saved my location as in the cabin. I stepped outside and the bear was still there, walking slowly toward the shore. Dropped him with a single headshot.

Salvaged some bear meat and hide, back to the cabin, then to a fishing hut to cook some of it. Once I got to the fishing hut, another crash.

Now, I can't start the game. It crashes every time.

Here's the stacktrace from the log file:

What distribution are you running? This looks like the issue with an incompatibility between Steam's runtime and the distro provided libraries, to me. If you're on Arch, try starting Steam like this:

LD_PRELOAD='/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1' steam

If on Debian or a derived distro, this might help:

https://wiki.debian.org/Steam#Troubleshooting

Either way, that's probably the issue, and there's probably an equivalent fix for whatever distro you're running.

System specs: Linux Mint 17.2, Intel i7, nvidia GTX 550 Ti, 16 GB RAM

I've run into this problem already - I'd get an error message about not being able to establish a GLX context / no direct rendering support...

Anyway, I went through several different suggested fixes and eventually overcame it. Looking at the stacktrace I didn't see any of the suspect libraries listed, so I thought I'd post here.

In any case, after rebooting my system, I tried starting LD again. It booted to a black screen. Repeated this twice more and strangely, it works again...

I don't assume the problem's fixed, but it's overcome for the moment.

Just a follow up. I looked through the steam libraries again, and discovered one I'd missed. Removed it and things are running fine. We'll see if it holds.
