[SOLVED] Cannot run game (M&B)

Post by picimin »

Hello everyone,

I have installed Mount & Blade Warband on steam. However, once I launch the game, I get the loading screen for 1 second and then it disappears. Then nothing happens. It's like the game shuts down on its own. I am not good at all at Linux Mint. I really hope there's someone that could help me figure out what I am doing wrong. I've searched plenty of previous posts but with no results.

Thank you in advance.


Edit: I am adding a screen video I recorded. https://youtu.be/JiZdeL4PluQ

Hi,

Try disabling steam Overlay.

Try starting in Windowed mode and then switching to fullscreen when ingame.

Else open a terminal and paste the result of :

Code: Select all

Thank you for your reply!
The game used to work, but it would only launch Napoleonic Wars when I had both installed.
Once I uninstalled NW (hoping it would run Native), Native would not launch properly.

By the way, here's the results:

CPU: Dual core Intel Celeron N2840 (-MCP-) cache: 1024 KB
clock speeds: max: 2582 MHz 1: 1602 MHz 2: 1655 MHz
Graphics: Card: Intel Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display
Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
Resolution: 1366x768@60.02hz
GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Bay Trail GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5

===> EDIT: I chose windowed mode from the M&B's configuration menu instead of Steam's settings and it worked! You are a life saver! Thank you mate!
