General Discussion / Re: [SOLVED] Issues running Unreal World on Ubuntu

« on: January 25, 2023, 11:15:24 PM »

Whoops, I haven't really used forums since like 2005 and forgot I was the one who had to edit the title. Thanks for any future people in need for making the guide!

Although I gotta ask for more help-everything was fine and I spent a couple hours making a trap fence, fishing and building a house for winter. Lots of fun, but then when I next launched the game my laptop shut down within a minute. I fiddled with the laptop a bit and it worked after a third attempt so I just kinda forgot about it. Now it's happening again: every time I launch Unreal World, the entire laptop dies within 20 and 60 seconds of opening Unreal World no matter what I do.

I tried searching for this issue but got no hits, and did some experimenting. It shut down in the same way with no noticeable pattern to how long it took whether I waited on the menu, I jumped into the game or tried creating a character. I launched with the terminal and waited for the crash but absolutely no unusual messages popped up before the crash. Ran Dwarf Fortress and cheated myself to a full fortress of dwarves to see if that would do anything, and it ran fine while I did RL chores.

I am on 3.63, and it's now running perfectly! Everything in the first command was already installed but the second needed installation.

Thank you very much for your help!

You're both right, I should have included the code to make what I meant clearer. It was dumb to not include it, sorry about that.

Code: [Select]

ldd /usr/bin/urw3-bin
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 204: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != NULL' failed!

So as you can see, I got the exact same result-it didn't list anything. I doublechecked with whereis urw3-bin to make sure it was the proper directory and reread Plotinus' post twice to make sure I didn't miss anything, but still nothing.

Regarding updating, I actually did that just before my initial post for unrelated reasons but I just tried again-there were a handful of updates but still nothing.

Sorry for the late reply, life got in the way!

So I did that, but I got the exact same result as the first time, word for word-or I guess character for character.

@Melchizedek
Thanks for the compliment haha, I gotta say Neal Stephenson is a great author but his endings always feel a little off-although Cryptonomicon's wasn't bad. Snow Crash is an all time favourite of mine, especially with it's cheesy in retrospect view of the internet's possibilities. It's up there with Red Mars (which is written by Kim Stanley Robinson, my favourite author)

And I'm absolutely in agreement on URW, it's a game like no other which led me down a rabbit hole of researching the lives and worldviews of indigenous cultures. It's definitely improved my life in a small way, even though I haven't played it in ages.

I don't remember exactly when I heard of Unreal World specifically, I think I was looking at other roguelikes after playing a bunch of Dorf Fort and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead when I came across it. As soon as I read the description, not only was I super excited about the gameplay but I remembered reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. In it, the perspective character in the modern day, Randy I think, talks about either playing or programming a game which is exactly the same as Unreal World, and was clearly a reference to it. I was incredibly excited that it was a real game, installed it and fell in love immediately

General Discussion / Issues running Unreal World on Ubuntu

« on: December 25, 2022, 12:01:15 AM »

So first off: I'm new to Ubuntu, and only installed it on this laptop a few months ago and rarely use it.

I installed Unreal World and tried to run it-nothing happened. I clicked on the icon a couple more times and waited for it to run, thinking it was taking a moment and nothing happens. I do some Googling and find a post on Steam saying I need the sdl2 mixer, library and image-I uninstalled the game, downloaded those with the terminal and reinstall UrW-still nothing. I then saw something about running it through the terminal to get more info on what's happening, and I get this:

 > Running under: Linux
 > Entering The UnReal World RPG Version 3.63
 > App data dir is: '/usr/share/urw3'
 > App home dir is: '/home/valerie/.config/urw3-Linux'
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 204: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != NULL' failed!

After Googling around for the inconsistency, I see few different results saying things which either conflict with each other a bit or I'm not Ubuntu literate enough to really understand what I need to do. I also tried using GDebi like I saw in a forum post here after searching, but it said all dependencies were satisfied. Does anyone know what's wrong? Any help is appreciated!
