A bug exists within the Linux kernel versions 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 that causes memory errors (ACCESS_VIOLATION, "could not access memory at...") which crash the game. This can be resolved either by downgrading your kernel to the older 2.6.32, or upgrading to 2.6.35 (release on 2010-08-01 and work fine with SC2).
There is also another crash when a user changes the graphics quality from low to medium or higher. A copy of a forum discussion detailing the fix is pasted in below.(Fix provided by user: herbyg)
My starcraft 2 works while running on ubuntu 10.04 with WINE but whenever I try to go to medium graphic settings my game always crashes!!!! im stuck on low settings. the fps is pretty darn good though I have to admit. I have an Nvidia gtx460 graphics card which should be able to run starcraft 2 on ultra no problem. I have the latest drivers installed for my card straight from nvidias website. I have no audio problems or startup problems what so ever just can't get my game to run on better graphics settings. Compiz is disabled. Anyone know how to help? |
