The Linux version takes a few minutes to start up, usually until after the music has stopped. The Windows version (run with Wine) starts up in a few seconds. I only have one mod installed.schilcote wrote:Well, how long are we talking? If you have a large number of mods, then that will definitely slow it down a bit, but then again, I have almost every working mod available for download, and external XMLs (no transcendence.tld or whatever it is) and I only have to wait for a minute for Transcendence to start.

That's interesting, I thought I'd fixed all the long-startup time problems. It definitely doesn't take a few minutes to start up on my computer, and I'm running it as a vmware guest inside of a 6 year old laptop. What hardware specs are you running?Nate879 wrote: The Linux version takes a few minutes to start up, usually until after the music has stopped.

I'm running Debian Linux Unstable. I have 256 MB RAM, Pentium 4 processor (2.66 GHz, single core). OpenGL acceleration is enabled (if that matters).GambitDash wrote: That's interesting, I thought I'd fixed all the long-startup time problems.

One way to diagnose the problem would be to send me a version of Transcendence that has profiling enabled (the -pg flag, if you use gcc). I could then send the output back to you, and that would tell you which functions took the most time.
[Edit] I've upgraded my computer to over 1GB of RAM, and the long startup time is gone. It now takes around 15 seconds to start up.

It's been easiest just to provide a tarball, since it's traditionally a local install.
Hey all,
After a long time, I decided to get back to Transcendence on linux. However, I can't start it. I only get a flash of the window screen before it exits. Debug.log shows the following:
Start logging session
transport 1.1
Opening audio device...
Audio: 22050 Hz 16 bit stereo, 512 bytes audio buffer
Startup error 5: Unable to create loading thread.
End logging session
I'm pretty sure I have all the files and folders in place, I checked
uname -a returns the following:
Linux <hostname> 2.6.30-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 9 14:16:44 CEST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I am running this in a 32 bit chroot on my 64 bit system. Weird thing is, it used to work a few months ago, so I am guessing that some package upgrade broke it?
Thanks for helping,
Llama

Sorry Llama, I was actually out of the country all month. You're running on a somewhat odd system; have you tried using 'ldd' to see if you have all the necessary libraries available?
Good luck!

That is correct.
