can not start the game ubuntu

Postby Rouvie » Mon Jan 25, 2016 4:27 pm

Yesterday I bought the game and played for 2 hours.
It crash one time when adjusted the graphic settings to high.
After that i changed it to custom and put some settings on high.
And today i cant launch the game.
Tried to uninstall it, reinstall and to play in safe mode. Nothing worked.
My pc is running Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit.
I have an amd r9 280x with fglrx 15.20.2 driver.

Thank you!

Hello Rouvie, welcome.... sorry to hear you're having trouble.
Could you please try updating your graphics card drivers, and let us know if that helps?

Hi!
I cant find a newer version, that is not beta
and im a bit afraid that the newest beta is not working for me.
The last time i tried one was a huge desaster.
And i dont know, but the game worked with this driver yesterday.
Is there a config file with the graphic setting in it, which i could try to reset?

Thank you for the fast reply.

Still the same problem.

Rouvie, please try these steps and let us know if any resolve your issue...

First, let's try deleting your slimerancher.prf file to ensure your settings can be reset entirely. This will also reset any achievements so you know.
Using ubuntu you should be able to find it here:
~/.config/unity3d/Monomi Park/Slime Rancher/slimerancher.prf

Now, restart and try running slime rancher again.

If it's still not working, please try running again in safe mode, click here to learn how.

Let us know how you make out.

Hey!
Deleting the slimerancher.prf did not work,
but ADragonInAPieCostume helped me.
And it works finally.
Thanks.
