datux added a comment to T84667: [Linux Port] Crash when starting any mission or showcase.

Okay -thx for the info and let's hope the vulcan architecture will do any good in the future for/with AMD. At the moment their catalyst driver support for linux really sucks.

For others:
At the moment you can't use catalyst on ubuntu kernel 4.2 which is shipped with 15.10

Solution for running Catalyst - stay with 14.04.2 LTS or install ppa 4.1 kernel.
You can also try to compile fglrx with gcc-4.9 instead of gcc-5.0 to avoid crashes on kernel 4.2...

I've got the same problem:

Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 15.10

I also included my crash dump file 57ddd331-1ca5-fbe9-208791b9-1ae8f82a.dmp (zipped)

I tried with different kernel versions (4.3, 4.2...) and hope that it's not an AMD problem.

The VP port is running very smooth with the catalyst driver so far. One thing I observed which is crucial for running the system on linux to avoid other "mysterious" crashes. The /tmp partition should have at least 2 GB of free space. After some time the game uses up to 1.5 GB tmp files and will crash if you run out space...
