Hi,
I'm trying to run Starsector 0.9.1a on a vanilla 64bit Ubuntu 19.10 build.
Hardware:
8 GB RAM
AMD Ryzen 3 3200g with radeon vega graphics
onboard graphics is AMD Raven with 2GB dedicated
Gnome 3.34.2

The issue I'm having is that the screen freezes whenever I try to move past the initial resolution selection popup.  I have tried setting it to various resolutions both fullscreen and windowed.  I have also tried clicking the X to exit the menu.  In all scenarios, the monitor cycles to standby and back, as if it is attempting to change resolutions, and returns to a frozen desktop.  I have a cursor which moves but I cannot interact with anything on the screen and nothing responds to keyboard inputs except switching to a virtual console where the system responds normally.  Also of note is that the music can be heard if I attempt to launch the game from the menu.

I have looked through the starsector logs for these various tests but can't find anything that jumps out at me as an error.  That said, may have found something in the syslog but I don't know what it means. This section of the log goes from the first error I found after executing  starsector.sh up to when I logged into TTY3.

Any thoughts, observations, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - hmm. Sorry about the trouble! Perhaps obvious, but: does this also happen when "fullscreen" is unchecked? In that case, at least in theory, the OS shouldn't try to change the resolution.

Also: if you open up data/config/settings.json, there's a "legacyLauncher" setting. If you set it to true and run the game, you might have better luck, since it won't need to initialize another OpenGL window. (The legacy launcher uses Swing, a built-in Java UI API that doesn't use OpenGL, where the default launcher does.)

Thanks for the amazingly quick response!

does this also happen when "fullscreen" is unchecked?

Yes.  Same behavior when "fullscreen" is checked and when unchecked.

Also: if you open up data/config/settings.json, there's a "legacyLauncher" setting. If you set it to true and run the game, you might have better luck, since it won't need to initialize another OpenGL window. (The legacy launcher uses Swing, a built-in Java UI API that doesn't use OpenGL, where the default launcher does.)

This worked!  I was able to launch a windowed version of the game.  When I tried to quit, the display froze again but a step in the right direction.

Thank you for your suggestions!  As long as I can get the game to run, I'm happy even if I have to reboot after I play.  If I find anything else that's relevant as a muck about I'll post it here.
Cheers!

Glad there's some progress, at least! Is trying a different graphics driver version an option for you? This is really sounding like an issue with the drivers.
