Linux crashes on load with an older CPU

As a simple test I started the game with wireless turned off. It starts fine. So pinging Klei's servers crashes the game.

We're in discussion with Unity about an issue affecting older hardware like yours. See this bug report.

Separately there was another Linux specific Unity bug causing issues connecting to the Klei servers. Last week in U58-720697 we updated our networking code to get around the issue. Let's see if we can rule out the networking changes. I sent you some instructions in a private message. 

What distro are you using?

 

Here are the results on the test server. Player.log is in pressure vessel, Player native debug.log is on native with gdb. It doesn't crash with TLS but still hits x86-64-v2/3 code and crashes.

Interestingly even though it is not crashing with TLS, it still runs fine if I start the game with network disabled. And plays fine even when the network is re-enabled once it's reached the main menu. I think it just never updates the mods.

eta: distro is in SYSTEM INFO section of Player native debug.log.

Updated UnityPlayer.so works on test server and after a clean reinstall the current branch too. Tested reinstalling/enabling mods, new game creation and start. All seems fine.

Okay that's good news, the issue doesn't seem to be related to our network code changes but the x86-64-v2/3 instructions in UnityPlayer.so. Just to confirm, can you access the Supply Closet? 

Yep, all works fine. Tested selling stuff, buying an item and checking new blueprints.
