Unable to launch CK2, crash details in thread [Linux]

[duelistgamer]

I'm running OpenSUSE Leap 42.1, fresh install. I've verified the integrity of my game cache, removed all mods, reinstalled the game, deleted .paradoxinteractive/, deleted steam and its folder etc.

Nothing worked. What's strange is that I was able to play the game in my previous installation of the same OS after doing the things I mentioned above when I got the error. I tried moving to the open beta but that makes no difference.

I could upload the crash dumps if they're of any use, but the forum doesn't allow me to.

We're having this problem in CSL right now, it no longer runs under the latest version of Debian. Unfortunately nothing will be done about it as the only supported distro is Ubuntu.

So, is this the same openSuSE version as before, or a newer one? Same CK2 version or a newer one?

Yup, same openSUSE version. Leap 42.1. Same CK2 version as well. The 2.5.1 release. The openSUSE wiki entry on steam pointed to a possible problem with 64-bit inodes. To work around it, I created a 50GB loop file formatted as ext4 and reinstalled the game on it, but that didn't solve the problem.

I didn't move .paradoxinteractive to that partition though. I will try doing that now.

UPDATE: It worked!

So the workaround is to have a 32-bit filesystem to store both the game data as well as the save data. No need to uninstall either, as symlinks seem to fix the problem.

Might be a good idea to add this to your list of known problems- Linux CFileException crash.

Done, thank you. I wonder if the relates to the issues we've seen on the new Debian version, and even Ubuntu 16.04 .
