Linux machine lockup

[fhwrigley]

Running Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1
AMD 8320E
MSI 970 Gaming Mobo
16GB RAM
GeForce 960
nVidiab 372 drivers

This game crashes hard, and i mean a total machine lockup, every time I try to play. I've gotten to the second battle, where you meet whats-her-name, we dispatch that bunch, head down the slope to the others, and the machine totally locks up (I have to press the reset button) in a crash before I can even save after a battle.

This has happened many times over, and I'm getting steamed (no pun intended). I just want to be able to play this game.

Is anyone going to answer this thread?

Hi @fhwrigley !

Sorry you're experiencing this issue, and for the delayed response.
Thanks very much for the log, we'll pass it along to our programming team and try to figure out what's going on!
In the meantime, if you could, would you mind posting a save from the beginning of the game? There might be something in it that could help us understand the issue.

Thanks for your patience!

EDIT: On Linux, the save files for Tyranny can be found at /home/%username%/.local/share/Tyranny/SavedGames. If you name your save in-game, that same text will be in the file name so it will be easy to find.

Here it is, and thanks for the reply.

I just upgraded my nVidia driver to 375.26 and played for at least a half hour, until my wife asked me if I was going to do anything else! Problem probably solved.

Probably.

I had played for 30-45 minutes with the new nVidia driver. I started the game today with high confidence, and...another crash.

Waaaah!

BUMP.

OK, a new installation (for once the system hosed itself instead of my doing it) of Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1, nVidia 3.72 drivers, same everything. Got the update this morning and started the game with high hopes. It began the game at the beginning just after the avalanche, and CRASHED yet again while I was clicking the Dialog tooltip.

I'm beginning to lose hope...

 

[fhwrigley]

It's still happening, even after the update

Running Ubuntu MATE 17.04 beta, still got lockups. Then I turned off the auto-overclock on my motherboard and played 30 minutes. Now I just need to find a place I haven't been before...

 

[fhwrigley]

Update: I started a new game, got about 45 minutes in, walked away for a couple of hours (since whether I played or not. after ~15-30 minutes the crash came. The game was still running flawlessly.

[SOLVED].
