Crashes on startup

[ramirobasile]

I'm running openarena from the fedora repos (0.8.8-30.fc39) on a M2 mac with a Asahi linux installation. Upon selecting rat from the mod list, the game exits.

The version of openarena on flathub seems to work, but I get unrelated video issues which make the game unplayable.

I get basically nothing on the logs. Are there any launch options I should be running openarena with to make its output more helpful?

ioq3 1.36 linux-sh Jul 21 2023
----- FS_Startup -----
fish: Job 1, 'openarena +set fs_game rat' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Sorry if this report is not very helpful, I can get you more info if you tell me how

It looks like it crashes when it's beginning to load the PK3s, which indicates it's most likely an engine issue.

I'm not sure how up to date the engine in the fedora repos is (or which variant they use). It's possible that it is out of date or doesn't work properly on M2.
Have you tried using ioquake3 directly from the website/github?
Instructions on how to launch Ratmod with different engines should be on https://ratmod.github.io

I couldn't find an arm build for ioquake3 anywhere. I tried building my own, but I can't get it to work yet, sadly. I'll keep at it and keep you posted.
