Hey guys

I have just downloaded the ubuntu linux (I'm running 16.10) version of super hexagon and I'm trying to run it, unfortunately without success.
When I double click the game on the desktop the game just appears for a few seconds on the task bar then disappears again.
I tried running it from the terminal using "/home/*my username*/GOG Games/Super Hexagon/start.sh" but I'm getting the following errors:


libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965

Does anyone here knows by any chance what I could do? is it a dependency problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vangog,
Thnx for your interest in helping me :) here are your answers:
- I don't have a dedicated video card, so I'm using intel HD graphics 520 that's integrated into the i5-6200U. But I don't believe that the problem cuz...
- Yes. I have installed Don't starve, Transistor, Bastion, and 140. All working perfectly fine.
- I'll try that in a little while and mark your response as a solution if it worked.

Again thanks a lot for your help :)))

Hello again Your Penguinity,

So I tried your suggestion. Nothing changed. Still the same behavior with the same error messages.

I tried running it in a different way: Terminal -> /home/*my username*/GOG Games/Super Hexagon/game/x86_x64/superhexagon.x86_x64
I'm getting the following error message: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have very little experience with linux so I have no clue what that means.

P.S. I had my username changed a while ago but I didn't realize they would respond so quickly, so don't get confused this is the same Barhumeh, with a new username :)

So I just tried uninstalling the game and installing it again with a freshly downloaded copy. Still the same no change. Furthermore I downloaded some more games to completely eliminate the possibility that my hardware is the problem: Dustforce, FEZ, Faster Than Light, Super Time Force Ultra, and To The Moon. All working fine (haven't really played them though, I just tried running them and messing around with the options menu of each game. But they're working fine, really)
I'll even download The witcher 2 in a second and try it, since it's the most demanding game for linux I own.

I deeply appreciate your patience and your willingness to help.
Have a good day :)

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. I am using Manjaro, and I don't have a dedicated video card, so I'm using intel HD graphics 5500 HD that's integrated into the i7-5500U. And I have installed Amnesia: The Dark Decent and work fine.
I found the same problem in Reddit in this link: [url=]https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/56oiqt/super_hexagon_driver_issues/[/url]. But I don't understand
In Linux Mint I haven't this problem

Hi carmine,

I suggest you wait a little, because I've already contacted gog support and took to reddit to ask about this. Once I get around this problem I'll post the solution here so you can use it as well. No need to take more of gog support team's time ;)

I bought super hexagon recently (today) and I also have this issue.
I'm using lubuntu, and my terminal output is identical.

Just wondering, has this been solved as of yet?

Hello everyone.

I must also apologize for the late response but for some reason I didn't get a notification that this thread has been updated I discovered it by coincidence.

Anyway, I just downloaded super hexagon again and it works!

Only small problem is that it play 4:3 letterbox on my widescreen for some reason but that's not a real issue with this game :)

Thanks a whole lot for your concern.
I'll mark the second to last reply as solution.
