Hi there,

I downloaded and installed the latest linux version from the defold download page, and when I start it up I get the following exception:

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Are you using Ubuntu or some other Linux OS?

5

Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS 64-bit
Gnome version 3.36.8

6

It’s a graphics driver issue of some kind. You could try exporting the following environment variable MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 and then launch Defold again. This will revert to the pre 20.0 version of the driver.

7

Yes that works, thanks.

But please note that it was working just fine in the previous version 1.2.177, and only crashes in the newest version I downloaded from the website.

8

Interesting.
I don’t think we have changed anything graphics related for the editor (afaik) between these versions.

9

Thank you for confirming this. I’ve added it to the Linux FAQ (will be visible in a minute or two):

10

Glad to hear :slight_smile: Ive ran defold with zero issues on Pupply linux XfCE Ubuntu base.

11

I updated Defold to the latest version but I still have the same problem with it crashing.

Is it scheduled to be fixed soon?
