Crash Wargus 3.3.2 - Multiplayers - LAN - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - GOG installer

[aguerson]

Describe the bug
I try to play to wargus 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in multiplayers in LAN and it crashes

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Disable firewall or iptables if exist
Install Wargus on ubuntu
Compile Wargus with GOG installer ( no error )
Launch wargus
Enter in Menu "Multi player Game"
Change Nickname
Choose "Create Game"
Select a map ( Classic/Bridge to bridge combat.pud.smp.gz" )
Select Create Game
Wait the second player/computer

=> Do the same install on a second computer with the same conf ( ubuntu 22.04 LTS without iptables or firewall ) and with a different Nickname
=> Select "Join Local Game"
=> Add server
=> Change server IP
=> Press OK

The two Nickname/player are under the "Players" list.

The second computer press "Ready"

The first player/computer press "Start Game"

It crashes !

Expected behavior
The game must be launch the map

Screenshots and Logs
no verbose logs... It just crashes without any args. Same with wargus -p
It just say " Stratagus failed to load game data. If you just launched the game without any arguments, this may indicate a bug with the extraction process..."

The game works very well in solo mode...

I read the others issues, I didn't see the same problem... Am I alone in this case ?
What do you need to debug ?
I try to launch with a "strace" tool, but nothing. Something hardcoded in lua ?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [Ubuntu]
• Version [22.04 LTS]

Please guys, could you help me ? I would like to play with my friends and my children to this mythic old school game of my childness.
Thanks.

Reading "$(document)/Stratagus/stderr.txt" & "stdout.txt" might give some indications of possible issues.

[aguerson]

In Ubuntu there is only two directories

my homedir
~/.stratagus

with
"data.Wargus"
and
"wc2"
directories

and

/usr/share/games/stratagus/wargus

No files named "stderr.txt" or "stdout.txt"

How did you launch wargus to have these files ?

[Jarod42]

I'm on Windows...
On *nix, it seems it is only in regular console output
on MacOs, it is in /tmp/stdout.txt

wc2/logs/*.txt might be there if crash happens once game is started.

Hello @aguerson
As @Jarod42 already suggested, you have to check the error from the console/terminal output because the message window:

Stratagus failed to load game data. If you just launched the game without any arguments, this may indicate a bug with the extraction process...

It's pretty generic and doesn't give a specific reason why the game crashed.
