Full Version: Games freeze immediately after starting (Linux Mint 18.3)
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Games freeze as soon as they start. They show one frame and then stop completely.
PCSX2 itself doesn't stop responding or crash.

I installed PCSX2 just through the normal Linux Mint / Ubuntu package repositories with apt-get, no PPA. It says it is version 1.4.0-0.

I've tested Super Monkey Ball Adventure and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (both PAL with a European BIOS) through the ISO selector and they both hung on the first frame.

When I run PCSX2 from the command line nothing appears when the games freeze. On startup, it just says this and nothing else until it's closed:

I'm using a proprietary NVIDIA driver: nvidia-384 (version 384.111-0ubuntu0.16.04.1).
I don't know if this is relevant, but in Mint's driver manager, there's a choice between intel-microcode (version 3.20180108.0+really20170707ubuntu16.04.1) and "Do not update the CPU microcode", and the latter is selected.


If there's any other information or screenshots or anything I can provide, I'd be happy to. I really want to get this to work.

Thanks. Smile
Did you install multiarch libraries for 32-Bit support?

Strange, it feels like a segmentation fault.
Turns out this is not the case for all games. I just tested The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game and it works.
The games that didn't work were both released in the Australia / New Zealand region, but the game that worked was released in Europe. Possibly relevant?

Shadow of the Colossus NA version also works.
