Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I recently upgraded my installation to Fedora 21, and ever since then I have not been able to get Wurm to run. It loads and logs me in, and just before all of the models load the game freezes and crashes. I get an alert saying there was a problem with the java-1.8.0-openjdk package. I installed Oracle java following the instructions here: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/install-oracle-java-8-on-fedora-centos-rhel/ And it definitely says that my system is now using that version: $ which java/usr/bin/java$ /usr/bin/java -versionjava version "1.8.0_51"Java SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mod However, every time I launch Wurm I get the same error, so apparently Wurm is using the open version still. How can I get it to use the correct version? -Sorien Edit: I edited the shortcut becuase it was launching the wrong javaws, and now I get the same crashes but with no error message, so it may not be an issue with openjdk java. Is there a way to launch the program without going through the web start, using Java directly, so I can gather some debug info? Thanks.

Posted August 14, 2015 Seems to be an issue regardless of which Java I am using, is there anyone who can help debug this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2015 The unstable client has the same behavior apparently. I did find the crash logs, if any of teh devs think those might help identify the issue. -Sorien Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2015 Sorry, can't help with Fedora. I know nothing about it. I'm running Linux Mint, no issues with Java 8 here, runs well, is easily installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2015 No Idea how linux is but this is what I did with Windows. I opened the java icon from control panel and under general settings, temporary files I clicked delete files. all is good now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 15, 2015 It loads and logs me in, and just before all of the models load the game freezes and crashes. Does that mean you can see the interface before it freezes? With Interface I mean the chat, logs, inventory and such. If this is the case it may be a problem with the graphics driver. Can you please give details what kind of graphiccards driver you use (reeingineered open implementation or proprietary implementation), its version and the graphic cards vendor.

Posted August 15, 2015 Make sure openjdk is completely removed, for one. You can open via command line by right-clicking and saving the jnlp file, then just pass it to javaws. If you're sure the correct Java is loading, then I would branch out towards things like associated drivers. Primarily the graphics driver. Most Linux flavors work just fine with the free/generic versions of their drivers, but they don't support 3D rendering. Knowing your graphics card will help going forward. I know with Ubuntu, it's as easy as adding a repo and installing via apt-get. Fedora is likely different, but I'm usually good at finding guides for such things. (Like this one here for nVidia) (And this one for AMD/ATI) Basically if you are using Nouveau - you're not going to run anything. Not sure if Nouveau is running? lsmod | grep nouveauFailing that, running the jnlp file in the terminal should give you some useful info as to why it dies.

Posted August 17, 2015 So guessing I need to switch to nvidia drivers? yes The nouveau driver has some issues with the 3d acceleration. that cause the engine to crash. You need to use the nvidia drivers. You can downlaod the driver from the homepage. The provided *.run file needs to recompile the drm kernel. This often causes problems as the linux headers may contain changes that are not reworked. That's why you may need some expertise to do that. I suggest you to search for repacked driver in the repositories of your distribution. Latest Version for you is 340.76. The newer verisons doesn't support your grahiccard anymore.
