Game crashes the instant I get to the character selection menu (linux mint 21.1)
-
Hello,
I am brand new here and really want to try out ascension.
I am running linux mint 21.1, my CPU is Intel i5-3470 (4) @ 3.600GHz, and my GPU is AMD ATI Radeon RX 480 8gb.
Generally I do not experience problems gaming on linux, even games outside of steam. This one however, has me stumped. Is it a common issue to crash on the character selection menu? Would a clean reinstall make any difference?
I have recreated the crash through the launcher and through the terminal with wine (I ran "wine Ascension.exe" in the proper directory). The launcher and the home screen of WoW work perfectly, I then click "Login" on the home screen. At which point, I sometimes (rarely) crash at the exact moment the "authentication" succeeds, otherwise, I get to the realm selection screen which works fine. The most common crash happens when I select a realm (either draft or free-pick), when I select a realm and get taken to the character selection screen I crash immediately. The game continues to run for about 1 minute, then the music starts to loop (like in a typical windows game crash) and then I get the option to force quit, which I have to take or it just sits looping the sound while crashed.
Based on the crash report (see below) I think it has to do with being unable to find the NVIDIA management library? However, I do not know how to fix it. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
Below is my crash dump from when I ran the game from the console:
0024:err:nvml:load_nvml Wine cannot find the libnvidia-ml.so library, NVIDIA Management Library support disabled.
