Current Behavior

On starting the game McPixel 3, the game displays an error message saying that the audio device could not be opened.

Expected Behavior

The game should work.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Own McPixel 3.
  2. Try to play it.

Environment

os_release:
    name:               "Ubuntu"
    version:            "23.04 (Lunar Lobster)"
snap_info:
    steam_revision:     171
    snapd_revision:     20671
lspci:
    01:00.0:            NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER] (rev a1)

Additionally the following error message appears on the console where I ran steam:

Initializing audio
Requesting: Freq: 44100, Channels: 2, sample format: 8010, buffer length: 128 
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:337:(snd_dlobj_cache_get0) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
    (libpulsecommon-15.99.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
Couldn't open audio: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: No such device or address
[!!!ERROR!!!] Couldn't open audio: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: No such device or address

These messages are emitted by the game itself, not steam.

libpulsecommon-16.1.so is installed on the host, but no version of it is installed inside the snap. it is installed, see below.

The game works correctly outside of snap, by directly running mcpixel.sh on the host.

libpulsecommon-16.1.so probably doesn't exist in the snap, but libpulsecommon-15.99.so should. Try running find $SNAP -name libpulsecommon* from snap run --shell steam. Can you also provide the output of echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within snap run --shell steam?

For the sake of testing, do you know of any free games that this issue also occurs on?

It exists:

/snap/steam/171/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-15.99.so

path (above directory is present):

/snap/steam/171/graphics/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/snap/steam/171/graphics/usr/lib:/snap/steam/171/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/snap/steam/171/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/snap/steam/171/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pulseaudio:/snap/steam/171/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib:/snap/steam/171/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio:/snap/steam/171/graphics/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu:/snap/steam/171/graphics/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/var/lib/snapd/lib/gl:/var/lib/snapd/lib/gl/vdpau

However, the launcher for the game does this:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
./mcpixel3

I modified the launcher to this:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./mcpixel3

And it makes the game work. I'll try to report this to the developer.

ali1234 commented Jan 8, 2024

@TheSos tl;dr McPixel3 Linux launcher script clears out LD_LIBRARY_PATH to add the current directory. This breaks the game for people who run steam in containers that need a custom library path. Instead please prepend your path to whatever currently exists. See above for details.

Sure! I can fix this! Will let you know when the fix is live so you can test!

@ali1234 could you try this build of the Steam snap with the default launch script of the game, if you're willing: https://github.com/canonical/steam-snap/actions/runs/7453047503/artifacts/1155183587 (download that file and then install with snap install <file name> --dangerous. You can go back to the regular build of Steam with snap refresh steam --amend afterward)

With that snap version the game does not run at all. Tail end of the console output looks like this:

Hmm, if that's an issue then it's also an issue with the edge channel. Give this one a shot: https://github.com/canonical/steam-snap/actions/runs/7453866820/artifacts/1155350402

That one works.

(I still think it's more correct to not wipe LD_PRELOAD_PATH though.)

Oh for sure, we'd greatly appreciate it if games didn't do that :).

For context, Northgard did the same thing and we added a workaround using the LD cache. The LD cache workaround should have still worked for this game as well, but it didn't because it was missing an audio path, so that's what you tested for me.

I'll close this issue once I get a fix in for the cache on our side, but yeah, we'd appreciate it if the launch script was changed as well.

You shouldn't have to, but I definitely would strongly recommend it if at all possible.
