Hi !

When I'm trying to run the demo on Linux (Kubuntu 19.10, on a laptop with a GPU Nvidia 930M, with the proprietary driver installed), I see just a blurred intro image before the Linux session is closed (maybe killed ?). I tried both the Steam and itch.io versions, but the problem is exactly the same.

Can you help me, please ?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I just retried after switching the driver from proprietary to nouveau and it's working. Do you have an idea why it's not working with Nvidia's driver ?

Hi! That's... very strange.

Could you send me the logs? They should be at:

~/. config/unity3d/Placeholder Gameworks/Death and Taxes/Player. log (and Player-prev.log)

Send them to oak@deathandtaxesgame.com and I'll have a look :)

I just tried to send you an e-mail with the logs but I'm not sure it has been correctly sent. Can you confirm the reception ?

Some update about the crash. Just days ago, I migrated from KDE Plasma to GNOME and today I've tested the game with the different drivers. Both are working well, except GNOME tells me at startup that the program does not respond but if I tell him to wait, the game is running well.

So, I think the problem comes from KDE Plasma and its use of the proprietary driver of Nvidia.

Interesting! Thank you for the info! It seems like a strange dependency but... I have seen weirder things happen.

hey! i'm also using nvidia, but on manjaro with bspwm and it does the session killing thing here as well. 

i've had other games to the same and one of them (pathway) was something with the cursor. star traders had the same issue but it was related to the resolution and i have no idea how i fixed. this been happening with many games now so it would be interesting to figure out what's all about. gonna check the logs.

Send them to me as well nyex, oak@deathandtaxesgame.com
