You probably won't find much of use in any logs - If the PC is hard rebooting like you're suggesting then you've got some fairly serious hardware issues. WFTO does stress a number of components which often causes bad hardware to have problems.

haha. Thanks for the frank reply. We'll make sure to add it to our list of things to ask future users with similar issues. :)

Looking at a linux machine here, I thought maybe your locale is still broken as the LANGUAGE env var is missing too, but I tried removing it and the game still ran no problems.


I may have to build a bebug build of the game for you next week to continue, as I don't have enough information to take next steps.

mmm. The only oddity I can see at the moment is this missing lib:

However I've never seen this nor can I find anything interesting out on the Google. I did notice you appear to have an xbox controller plugged in? This might sound odd, but could you try unplugging it prior to loading the game?

Setting this to complete as we've had no feedback from the user.

and the Steam application restarted.

What do you mean by this precisely? The game quit (no error), then Steam appeared to reload (login, etc)?

Interesting. Can you please upload a new player.log from that session?

There is indication that the lack of a value at `LC_ALL` is a problem. Try ensuring you close steam and the game and run it via the commandline with `LC_ALL=C steam`.

Hrm okay. Couple of questions and a solution:

  1. Do you run any other Steam-based games successfully at the moment?
  2. Do you have a non-english configuration at all?
  3. What output do you get when you enter locale into the console?

I'm seeing reports that it may be a locale issue. Try going through the last few posts in another Linux bug report starting here: http://brightrockgames.userecho.com/topics/1357-linux-black-screen-then-crash/#comment-5876


Additionally, you may try manually setting the locale prior to launching the game from the console as described here.
