Borderlands 2 crash about com.valvesoftware.steam HOT 31 CLOSED

Borderlands The PreSequel also has this same crash issue at the exact same place as BL2.

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

You can run flatpak run --devel --command=sh com.valvesoftware.Steam to get a shell and run whatever development tools from there like strace.

@TingPing How about adding FAQ in the form of Readme.md to this repo and adding eg above guide there?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Ok so silly questions. Looks like I found the core file that was dropped and I have very large strace, 135MB. What is the best way to upload these?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Didn't realize I could just drop it here. Here's the strace, but the core is too large to drop here.

Just looking at the last failures before exit:

20387 12:25:37.067823 access("/home/taea00/steam", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <0.000004>
20387 12:25:37.071756 stat64("/home/taea00/Steam/registry.vdf", 0xffded8a0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <0.000004>

Otherwise don't see much interesting at a glance.

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Any other way to troubleshoot this? Any suggestions? Would you like the core file to examine, is so how do I upload it?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

I did push an update btw so do try that out. I'm not sure the coredump will be super useful me.

Trying to symlink the files that fail in the strace log could maybe improve something.

It's missing the file /etc/services. I added the file to the runtime and Borderlands starts in online-mode.

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

@Unrud does it work with an empty services file or did you need to add something to it, btw?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

does it work with an empty services file

No.

did you need to add something to it

I copied the file from the host system.

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

This seems like a bug to me in Borderlands 2, even more alarming if an empty file doesn't help. It might be good to try to find out what it's trying to find though by adding the services item by item until it doesn't crash

even more alarming if an empty file doesn't help.

Why should it be alarming?

Lucky guess: http 80/tcp

Afaik the point of the entire file is that local apps can query which ports on local machine are running which services. However, this seems to be using it to resolve a port to connect to on another machine (?)

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Afaik the point of the entire file is that local apps can query which ports on local machine are running which services.

Most of the time the file just contains the IANA-assigned port numbers. An entry in the file doesn't necessarily mean, that an actual service is running on the computer.
Borderlands is using it wrong, but that doesn't help fixing the issue.

Can the file be added to the runtime?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

If it solves problems its something to discuss here: https://github.com/flatpak/freedesktop-sdk-images

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

This should be fixed through runtime update. Closing due to no comments

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

I have tried borderland2 and I still have this issue with flatpak.
The /etc/services workaround still work.

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

FDO runtime 18.08 may be missing the workaround that was added to FDO runtime 1.6. Ping @valentindavid

Upstream MR: https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/merge_requests/454

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

As I understand the MR have been merged.
@nanonyme Can you merge it on this repository please? I don't know how to ask a merge request like this ^^

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Runtime updates separately from application, nothing I can do

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Okay, sorry I'll wait then

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Any change? Based on https://flathub.org/builds/#/ there was q succesful import around 20 hours ago?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

No, I have update my runtimes before my message and I still don't have /etc/services :/

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

What you'd be looking at in the build system is the builder running import. Someone will manually trigger it at some point. You should test after next successful import of Freedesktop runtime 18.08

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

This looks actually like a nice panel to follow https://flathub.org/builds/#/builders/7

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

Can you please update and retry?

from com.valvesoftware.steam.

borderland2 work now 👍
