Description

If you run the game and all of textures you see are black and gray it's mean you don't have S3 texture compression library installed. This may occur if you're running with open source OpenGL implementation called Mesa that don't include EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extension due to patent issues.

Solution

You need to install S2TC library that provide support for texture compression.

  • Debian-based include Ubuntu and other derivatives package called "libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0"
  • RPM-based like Fedora, OpenSuse package called "libtxc_dxtn"
  • For any other distribution check distribution wiki about S3TC / DXTn.
