Description Sérgio Basto 2015-09-11 03:03:00 CEST

Hi, 
just drop a quick note, from http://steamcommunity.com/app/48700/discussions/0/594820656448603374/ I found that we should install libGLEW.i686 libGLEWmx.i686 nas-libs.i686   :

dnf install libGLEW.i686 libGLEWmx.i686 nas-libs.i686


Should steam package requires libGLEW.i686 libGLEWmx.i686 nas-libs.i686 ? 


Thanks,

None of those are required for Steam. libGLEW is part of the Steam (Ubuntu) Runtime and is required to be installed ONLY if you plan to run Steam without the runtime, which is a thing not supported by Valve.

nas-libs is not used, nor in the runtime nor by the client itself.

Did you install those libraries just because you read that in the forum or because you had some particular issue or crash? I have ~130 games and except those that require Adobe Air (ugh!) they work perfectly.

No, it happened to me when I tried to play "Mount & Blade: Warband" was a free version to play for a couple of days in the Steam, I have "GLEW startup failed: 1," and I wrote that comment on steamcommunity, after found the solution .

RPMFusion is no longer releasing updates for this version of Fedora. This bug
will be set to RESOLVED:EXPIRED next week to reflect this.

If the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, please
update the version field of this bug (and re-open it if it has been closed).

Comment 4 Emmanuel Seyman 2015-12-13 11:12:47 CET

Closing this bug with the EXPIRED resolution since Fedora no longer ships updates for this version of Fedora.

Please set the Version field to a supported version of Fedora if you re-open this bug.
