Crashing on Linux

[JustMozzie]

Game Version​

2026.6.8.4680

Operating System​

Ubuntu

What Happened​

I can launch the game into the main menu, but after the assets start loading the whole game crashes (it runs into a segmentation fault)
This occurs when the screen says renderer and graphics queue

What Was Expected​

The game should have finished loading and launched me into the scene

Reproduction Steps​

1. Open game
2. Change settings (i had everything set to the lowest setting possible)
3. press start KSA
4. crash after loading for a bit

Reproduction Rate​

Always i am unable to test the actual gameplay

Additional Info​

• I was able to get things working in the last version (or maybe it was a few versions ago) but now it is not working again.

Hello! Hopefully we can help.

First of all it would help to know the hardware specs of your PC, your GPU in particular.

 

[JustMozzie]

Ah yes,
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600X
GPU: AMD Radeon 5700XT.
RAM: 32 GB
OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

edit:
i have tried the new version released today, and it is still not working.

Here is a video of the issue i am getting
i dont see anything in the logs, and im not sure whats wrong
i was able to do all this stuff before like 2 updates ago.

Thank you for the info! It seems like we can scratch off VRAM allocation at least.

It's also worth making sure that your graphics drivers are up to date. If you could double check and confirm?

i was able to do all this stuff before like 2 updates ago.

The game can be changing a lot under the hood update by update, some of them may just be less stable than others. There's every chance the next build won't produce the issue this one does. Have you tried the newest one from a few hours ago, 2026.6.9.4750?

Updated drivers through the AMD official drivers and upgrade all my apt packages.
I am currently using the latest version and i am having the same behavior.

UPDATE: So i am new to the whole linux thing, so i decided with this not working to switch over to a different distro.
I decided to go with bazzite, as i heard good things about it in regards to gaming.

in order for me to get the packages to work in bazzite i had to run distrobox to have a mutable container. at first i tried ubuntu again, just to see if it was an issue with me or with my install, and after installing the dotnet and vulkan libraries i was still running into the same issue.
i decided to try a different distro in distrobox: fedora. lo and behold: it works!

not sure if this is a pretty bodged method of getting it to run, but it seems to work well for me.

oh, and it only works for x11, wayland seems to be unsupported with this specific method

there also seems to be an issue with GLFW, but a quick google search leads me to believe that is an issue with the container i am in, and not an issue with KSA itself.
