Error with GFX Init on Linux

by AlexCheery · in Torque 3D Beginner · 08/25/2015 (6:05 am) · 7 replies

Hello eweryone!
I compiled Torque3D on my Ubuntu 14.04. Everything worked out. But when I want to start engine, I get an error: GFX Init Null device found.
What am I doing wrong?

I have seen many similar problems with ATI videocards and Mesa drivers on this forum.

My PC: Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2 GHz / 4GB RAM / ATI Radeon HD 4600 512 Mb with Mesa drivers / Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE 4.13.

Have a look at this link for GTA. It seems very similar. I was wondering what effects that the newest Direct X11 will have on some Torque versions.

Are you really? Did you read the first post carefully? It doesn't solve my problem, because I have Ubuntu, not Windows. Ubuntu has no DirectX!

That's interesting, I wonder what Ubuntu uses in its place then.

No, the engine still doesn't work. Now I get new error: Could not create GL context.
My Radeon can run OpenGL 3.1, no more. Maybe the problem with it?

Ah. Right. Yes, I'm afraid minspec is 3.2. Sorry.

It's a pity. So, I will try other engines. Thanks for reply!
