[Linux] Game Crashes on launch

cablegunmastercablegunmaster Join Date: 2013-09-01 Member: 187547Members
I installed Ubuntu today on my PC and been working up all the quirks to see what is going around.
I installed steam searched up the forum of what I needed, finally got the launcher working.
Ubuntu is updated to have the latest packages.
After that I installed the game , and a black screen occurred and on top of that some quick pop up saying: "Fatal error".
The pop up is gone before any errors can be displayed. Basically I have no idea what to search for.
I tried a sudo reboot , still the same thing. So I figured go read the forums! I launched steam using the terminal and this output came out below after that I tried to launch the game.

Basically wondering if my Ubuntu is missing something or its a bug that needs to be squished :).

Specs:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Intel Core 2 quad Q9450 2.66gighz
OS type: 64bit.
Radeon 4850 512mb
Game update: AppID 4920 "Natural Selection 2", ProcID 7105, IP 0.0.0.0:0

    So, as a good starting place there is a basic setup guide to linux in the stickies in this forum. have your tried the fixes listed in it?


    Do you have non mesa video drivers installed? have you started steam with the correct locale?

I really wanna try linux out. but somehow, Ubuntu breaks without reason at least it feels like it. (black screen and wont load ) tried alt + ctrl + F1 to get the console running. It failed :D So reinstalling it is :p.
