I think SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 should be added to the launcher. Rendering is currently completely broken when using the default SDL Wayland backend. Logs show

libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

without it and the graphics are slow and corrupted. Not sure if this is an Nvidia specific issue or not, but that's what I had to do to get the game running on my Nvidia 3090.

@crazyraven: if you are using pipewire, you have to install lib32-pipewire.

@jmsq Sorry I totally forgot to reply. I've cleaned the yay cache an tried again to install. It worked. Thanks :)

@Luca91 I just tested making it again and it works just fine; maybe a localized machine issue?

This package is now broken for me :( I can't update it anymore, and I can't even install it from scratch. I got a package error just after the "Uncompressing Quake 4 (TM)" step.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

Thank you very much

I updated the PKGBUILD to modernize the dependency list for multi-arch.

@johnnybash: See the updated version. I kept i686 compatibility so people using Arch Linux 32 (or other Arch derivatives that support 32bit) could still use it.

johnnybash commented on 2021-08-25 15:56 (UTC)

if its just about removing the i686 stuff, I can help you out.

otherwise makepkg installs lib32-sdl just fine for me?!

Slash commented on 2021-08-24 21:49 (UTC)

It is in the PKGBUILD, it is just defined in an older way. I will update it when I get a chance or I can add co-maintainers.

jmsq commented on 2021-08-06 12:39 (UTC)

PKGBUILD is missing lib32-sdl build dependency.
