Rust 5/3 Haven't been able to play

[bryku]

Since 5/3 update I really haven't been able to play.

Ubuntu 18.04 (17.04 works fine) and of course i've tried other versions Mate, kubuntu and so on, but all the 18.04s still don't work.

When the last update came, the game would crash 1-5min max, then there was a little update a few days letter were it got better. It went from 1-5 to maybe 5-15mins. Then there was a 3rd little update and the screen is black (i can still see menus).

I've tried about every driver and multiple setups.

Setup 1a:
CPU: 7700k
GPU: R9 290x (4gb)
Ram: 32gb

Setup 1b:
CPU: 7700k
GPU: 1080 (8gb)
Ram: 32gb

Setup 2a:
CPU: 2700
GPU: R9 290x (4gb)
Ram: 32gb

Setup 2b:
CPU: 2700
GPU: 1080 (8gb)
Ram: 32gb

So far hardware wise none of these work in 18.04 environments, but these all work in 17.04 or 17.10.
What is strange is I have also tested many other games as well and they all seem to work fine exept Rust. Has anyone been able to get Rust working on 18.04? If you have let me know what setup your using.

did you tried to instal Normal Linux??

The minimum specs says windows, mac-os or linux.
Ubuntu is linux based, but not Linux.

steam's linux refers to debian which ubuntu is based off of.

Debian 9 works

Lmao it's time to read wikipedia.

I know your salty because of my reaction, but you are only embarrassing yourself right now.

You're not contributing to the thread, I suggest you read the wiki (which is well documented compared to Rust), might as well read the forum rules.

I may have got it working, not exactly sure which library, but its seems 18.04 is missing a library.

Oddly it doesn't tell you and lets you try and run the game, but i spent about 2 hours installing libs and tested rust. I was able to play for 45mins with out a crash.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freeglut3
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install binutils-gold binutils
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essentials
sudo apt-get install libglew1.5-dev libglm-dev
sudo reboot

This got it working.
