Thank you for supporting the Humble Indie Bundle #8!

This is Dear Esther for x86 GNU/Linux.

This bug is similar to one that I experience for oilrush, and it could be an OGL mesa 3.2 problem on an intel HD 4000 card.

Try: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Solved my Problem.
Comment 3 Cyprian Guerra 2013-08-26 12:37:44 EDT 
I can't install ia32-libs as it breaks several apps I use for my work.

Is this the same issue or should I start another thread?

I installed to the default directory and tried to run it from the *.desktop file, it runs but weirdly and unplayable:
1. welcome animation only shows a black frame around the screen and a white square in the middle with some shadow
2. menus lack letters and also show only in low res square in the middle of the screen
3. when running a game all I can see is water in the middle of the screen moving when I move the character
4. after I quit the game (blind) it kind of quits but the window "Dear Esther - OpenGL" doesn't close and I have to kill it.

Any ideas?

Comment 4 J 2014-04-10 20:29:02 EDT 
The issue is that Dear Esther requires an OpenGL 3.2 context, which is only available since Mesa 10.0 (released Nov 2013, but not yet in all distributions).
