Segfault on OGL + Steam

[Conzar]

I am unable to launch steam games with the OpenGL option.

System Specs

Ubuntu 12.04 Nvidia Driver: 304.108 (Geforce 560 GTX) Home directory symlinked (not sure if this is relevant)

Using SSR with Steam was tested with 2 methods.

Method 1 (Steam First --> SSR)

Steam was started first and then SSR.

Method 2 (SSR --> Steam)

SSR was started first than Steam.

Did you follow these steps? http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/recording-steam-games/

If that fails, try replacing the command with this:

LD_PRELOAD="libssr-glinject.so $LD_PRELOAD" SSR_GLINJECT_SHM=2129944 %command%

If that also fails, disable 'Steam community integration' in the Steam settings, and try again.

Thanks for the response. I have followed the installation steps. Please see the following for details:

[MaartenBaert]

Looks like it's a GLInject bug. I've rewritten GLInject for the next version of SSR, it is likely that this will fix the issue you're seeing now. Please wait until then.

[Conzar]

Do you have a release date?

[MaartenBaert]

No, there's still a lot of work to be done and I don't have much time at the moment. It will probably take 1-2 months or more.

[Conzar]

I pulled from the git repo and compiled the glinject-next branch. It seems the interface for OpenGL has changed a bit. Do you have any documentation on how to use the new OpenGL menu?

[MaartenBaert]

Not yet, but it's simpler than before. You just use 'ssr-glinject %command%' as the launch command in Steam, and SSR doesn't even need to be active. You can leave the command like that forever, it shouldn't interfere.

Steam is problematic because it's doing some weird things with libraries. I've found that almost all crashes are fixed by doing two things:

• Disable Steam community integration (either for individual games, or globally).
• Disable the Steam runtime and use system libraries instead. You do this by starting Steam with 'STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam' from a terminal. This may not be needed on Ubuntu 12.04, I'm not sure.

If you are playing a Humble Bundle game, you can usually launch it outside of Steam as well (they are DRM-free), this often makes it easier to record the game.

Edit: Oops, pressed the wrong button ...

[Conzar]

What should the "Launch Command" be set to? %command%? Settings ssr-glinject %command% still doesn't launch the game. I haven't tried to disable steam community integration yet because Awesomenauts requires it I think to join games.

[MaartenBaert]

@Conzar The launch command in SSR can be anything, it won't be used unless you check the 'automatic launch' checkbox. The launch command in Steam should be 'ssr-glinject %command%'.

AFAIK It will never work with community integration. But I've found that even with community integration disabled, games can still communicate with Steam for things like achievements. I think the 'community integration' setting is really just a workaround for games that have no real Steam integration.
