I am getting same error on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit, thought this was something to do with issue with an overlay (which I actually disabled, despite it still leaves that message on the log) but it actually crashes even when I execute Universe Sandbox.x86_64 directly from the command line from the directory where it's installed. (Player_direct.log, pretty much identical issue, except for some lines with overlay error.)
It runs fine on the same version of Ubuntu on my laptop. The difference is that I have an Intel graphic card on that, and this one I'm experiencing the issue is on AMD graphic card. (I've attached glxinfo.)
It's a shame it doesn't work
, I was looking forward running it on my fast machine after I've tried on my laptop. (Which is actually amazing it ran decently, the CPU's not even close to the minimum CPU requirement...)
Note: I've tried backtracking versions and see, and it seems to be something happened between alpha 16.1 and alpha 17 that caused this error. Alpha 16.1 worked fine, albeit with the warning that I have 336MB of video memory instead of 512MB that it requires... Alpha 17 crashes.
