Hello there!

When i try to launch a new game or load a save, the game crashes after loading. Sometimes i can see a few frames, but it always crashes.
I have that since the 7.50 update, and like others i had to do the logfile trick. My 6.20 previous install works fine. I have no mods, and no DLC.

Anyone having the same problem? And more importantly: anyone having a fix? Fortunately i can keep playing on 6.20, but i'd like to be able to have the latest updates too...

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8 cores, RAM: 16Gb, GPU: GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER

Thanks!

Open the folder "/GOG Games/X4 Foundations/game" in terminal.

Run the game with the following command.

./X4 -logfile log.txt

From what i read D_r_B already done that.

Next logical step, assuming the "-logfile log.txt" argument is a real thing and a somewhat (useful for Egosoft) filled "log.txt" gets created, would probably be to make a copy of that log.txt file directly after a crash and give that, maybe together with a savegame that causes such crash if it is not to huge, to Egosoft so they can have a look at it.
Not completely sure but such a logfile may reveal what X4 does directly before, or best case even what it tries to do when, it crashes.

Indeed, i had to do the logfile trick to even start the game.
The logfile is not very long but show several missing stuff and failed state machine things. Not sure about the savegame since it crashes all the same whether it is an already existing save or a new game.
Thanks for your answers anyway, apparently not much people are affected by this. I'll check on egosoft forum to see if i have better luck.
