Issues

K2 - Fatal Error: ARB_vertex_buffer_object not available.

If glxinfo reports that ARB_vertex_buffer_object is supported then override the OpenGL detection by doing as follows:

nano ~/.Heroes\ of\ Newerth/game/startup.cfg

Change this line:

SetSave "vid_checkOpenGLVersion" "true"

To this line:

SetSave "vid_checkOpenGLVersion" "false"


./hon-x86_64: cannot execute binary file

Try running ./hon-x86 instead. (or vice-versa)


Segmentation fault while trying to start the game.

Possible Cause: Library incompatibility with distribution.

Enter the libs-x86 (for 32-bit) folder inside of the HoN folder

cd ./HoN/libs-x86

mv ./libstdc++.so.6 ./libstdc++.so.6.old

mv ./libgcc_s.so.1 ./libgcc_s.so.1.old

Make sure you have libstdc++ and libgcc installed from your Linux distribution.

If you are using the hon-x86_64 executable, you will need to do the above to the game's 64-bit libs folder instead of the game's libs-x86 folder. If you continue to have problems, keep replacing libraries with your own distro's libraries and make sure that the executable isn't missing any libraries that it needs by running "ldd ./hon-x86" or "ldd ./hon-x86_64" as appropriate for your architecture.

Bright flickering heroes in backround at login screen.

Cause: Video card or video card drivers can't handle the lighting Solution 1: Go into the graphics options and turn off dynamic lights Solution 2: Disable background effects

Game stuck at "loading assets".

Cause: Corrupt Game files (often due to failed patch installation or permissions issues).

Solution: Download Heroes of Newerth from heroesofnewerth.com and reinstall.

Preventative measure: Make sure user has write permissions for all files and folders for the game. (chmod -R +w ./HoN)
