Crash at handshake, Linux

[alkajo]

Well, the game always crashes at the handshake.
I already changed the java vm in altitude/.install4j/inst_jre.cfg, both original and new path give the same error.

[johannes@kali altitude]$ sh altitude

i also attached the crash log. I hope this will help resolve the problem.

Have you tried updating your video drivers? Can you play other OpenGL games? Have you tried disabling sound (edit ~Altitude/config/options.xml, change line 5 to soundEnabled="false")?

Can you avoid the crash by immediately canceling the master server connection attempt (e.g. press Esc repeatedly as the game starts up)? If so, do that and submit a bug report (F1 to open console, reportBug, submit) and I'll take a closer look.

Drivers have been updated and other opengl games(Heroes of Newerth) work fine. Disabling sound did not help.

i can avoid the crash sometimes when pressing esc, and i will land at the login screen. However if i press a mouse button or any other key, it immediately crashes again.

Please email the files in ~Altitude/log to support@nimblygames.com and I'll take a closer look.

The solution to the problem is deleting the ~/altitude/jre folder and updating the file ~/altitude/.install4j/pred_jre.cfg with the systems jre.
In my case the path is '/opt/java/bin/java' (Arch Linux 64)
To find your java path type 'which java' in a terminal window.

Hope this helps
