Well another problem with the game. I have installed it, but when I launch the game it show the following message in terminal:

[carlos@GlaDOS HoN]$ sh hon.sh
warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite
Crash log saved as '/home/carlos/.Heroes of Newerth/game/crash_2.0.26.1_04.log'
Segmentation fault
[carlos@GlaDOS HoN]$

I am not able to open the crash log, so I do not know what is going on.

What problem are you experiencing when trying to open the log?
If you're trying to open it from a console, notice that the path contains spaces, so you'll need to escape them or use something like:

cat "/home/carlos/.Heroes of Newerth/game/crash_2.0.26.1_04.log"

Well thanks for the help. I was able to open the log, and one guy in the game forum told me that this is because I am probably using an open source driver. I saw the catalyst cc here, but it do not open. How can I re-install the driver?

abveritas · 2011-04-27 14:09:25

There is a wiki for switching between open and proprietary graphics drivers:
http://chakra-project.org/wiki/index.ph … eo-Drivers

gcala · 2011-04-27 14:17:52

use the following command:

sudo pacman -S catalyst

After installing it, remember:

1) add fglrx to MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
2) run the command:

sudo aticonfig --initial -f

to create a working xorg.conf

3) add nomodeset to
- kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst
or
- linux line of /boot/burg/burg.cfg
(depending on what you're using)

4) if you're using chakra 64bit it can be useful install lib32-catalyst-utils from [lib32] repo (needed by 32bit games)

Open the rc.conf and menu.lst in a text editor?

I am still a beginner in Linux based OS, could you explain how I do it?

Sorry for bothering you guys with such basic questions. If possible, can anyone try to run the game?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, you need a text editor launched as root; the easy way to do this is:

- press: ALT+F2
krunner opens

- type: kdesu kate
a dialog opens asking for root password

Kate is chakra default text editor; now should be an easy task open the mentioned files.

just to be sure you're editing the right file here it is my MODULES (NOT DAEMONS as previosly I wrote, sorry) line:

MODULES=(!mii !r8169 !zd1211rw !pcspkr !snd-mixer-oss !snd-pcm-oss !snd-hwdep !snd !snd-page-alloc !snd-pcm !snd-timer !snd-hda-codec !snd-hda-intel !soundcore mii r8169 zd1211rw pcspkr snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel soundcore fglrx)

just look at the end of the line: fglrx is the last item.

And, here it is kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3e838459-190a-4c5f-8a43-d2d823a1b56c root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b2219157-05ce-4877-87c0-c9393f1619c4 ro nomodeset

nomodeset is at the end.

**ADDING A REPO**
NOTE: do this only if you're using chakra 64bit

Open, as seen previously, with a text editor as root the file /etc/pacman.conf

add the following lines at the end of the file:

[lib32]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Now:

sudo pacman -Sy lib32-catalyst-utils

to install the package.

GlaDOS · 2011-04-27 16:22:26

Thanks! I will do it as soon as I get in home from work.

gcala · 2011-04-27 16:37:55

btw, it works

Ohh! And how does it run? Because in Ubuntu, the login screen is pretty laggy( as it is the rest of the game).

gcala · 2011-04-27 18:07:07

Have just now finished the tutorial without any glitch; the game runs very smooth

GlaDOS · 2011-04-27 18:51:33

Did you brought an HoN account? Ha! Pass me you name, I will add you later, when I get home.:cool:

Hirager · 2011-04-27 19:15:41

Ha! I am a HoN player too! Just don't a have sufficient hardware yet, but if you are interested, I go by the name of Hirager in the game.

Cool, mine is Redd3n . If we had sufficient players we could start a clan just for linux players. Just a dream anyways =/

Hirager · 2011-04-27 19:33:41

I think a Chakra [only] Clan would be much cooler.

Fair enough

GlaDOS · 2011-04-28 03:01:00

Still not able to run the game
Keeps giving me the same error.

[redden@GlaDOS HoN]$ chmod +x hon.sh
[redden@GlaDOS HoN]$ sh hon.sh

GlaDOS · 2011-04-28 04:10:53

Well, now I am able to run the game. I forgot to reboot after all procedures, but even so, the game runs much more slower than when I play it on windows. Here goes my system specs.:
HP dv2- 1039
AMD AthlonNeo 64( 1.7 Ghz)
ATI Radeon HD3xxxx Series (512mb dedicated)
4096mb DDR2 Ram
And an 500GB HD

With theses specs I can play even CoD Modern Warfare 2 on windows, and of course HoN on maxium, what do I need to do to play with an acceptable FPS rate on Chakra?

gcala · 2011-04-28 07:57:16

Post the output of the following commands:

fglrxinfo

glxinfo

A rudimental fps test for catalyst drivers is the command fgl_glxgears; these are my results WITH kwin effects enabled:

[gcala@chakra ~]$ fgl_glxgears 
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
7262 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1452.400 FPS
7838 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1567.600 FPS
8092 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1618.400 FPS
7622 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1524.400 FPS
8076 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1615.200 FPS
8082 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1616.400 FPS
7864 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1572.800 FPS
7979 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1595.800 FPS
7643 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1528.600 FPS

and WITHOUT kwin composition:

[gcala@chakra ~]$ fgl_glxgears 
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
11483 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2296.600 FPS
13784 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2756.800 FPS
13790 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2758.000 FPS
13751 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2750.200 FPS
13754 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2750.800 FPS
13783 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2756.600 FPS
13800 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2760.000 FPS
13681 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2736.200 FPS

299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.800 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.000 FPS

The kwin effects were already disable by default(o.O)

The paste of the crash log is in
http://paste.kde.org/38557/

And an bonus, I have updated the console log too(I think it would be useful)
http://paste.kde.org/38563/

I hope I can run the game, not smooth but at least playable

gcala · 2011-04-28 15:42:25

mmh, your fps is very low; I don't think that my 4850 is 40+ times faster than your gpu. Install mesa-demos and run glxinfo again

Last edited by gcala (2011-04-28 15:44:16)

GlaDOS · 2011-04-28 16:26:34

sudo pacman -Sy mesa-demo

Is this the command line to install mesa-demo?
Well, anyways, I will install it when I get in home from work.
Thanks for the help

[redden@GlaDOS ~]$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
3237 frames in 5.0 seconds = 647.400 FPS
3900 frames in 5.0 seconds = 780.000 FPS
3894 frames in 5.0 seconds = 778.800 FPS
3874 frames in 5.0 seconds = 774.800 FPS

I have installed the package, but it did not increased the fps, but when I changed some configs in catalyst center, the fps increased to that numbers.
