Having trouble getting OpenMW to work on Crouton Linux

Post by Vyuprax »

Hello!
So i'm trying to get OpenMW working on my Chromebook, but it of course just does not want to cooperate. I got it installed fine, but when I run it, the console spits out:

Are there any known fixes for this?

Code: Select all

OpenMW version 0.38.0
That's immediately a bad sign. We're getting pretty close to releasing 0.47.

Be very careful, Crouton Linux isn't a typical Linux system.. it is run inside chroot from ChromeOS itself. Crouton also isn't really in active development it seems. Here be dragons...
