Description of problem: I have a render issue. I can load alienarena to the main menu just fine, but regardless if I use it in full screen mode or windowed mode it fails to render a working gameplay session. I even used nogl to load, but it made no difference. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.71.1.svn-5663.2 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open alienarena. 2. Click on Pratice offline. 3. Wait for the game to load. 4. When you're supposed to start all you see is the loading session being stuck, but the game audio works. I can see my gun or see if I move when I use the cursor on the keyboard.

Sorry, but that is another unprecise obscure report: - you report is for MGA8 with alienarena-7.71.1.svn-5663.2 (a MGA8 package) - but your lshw output shows a MGA9 kernel (Linux 6.2.10-desktop-2.mga9)! So please provide correct informations: - from your host: inxi -F - from your guest: inxi -F Here on a MGA8 host with a MGA8 guest, alienarena renders just fine (with an way older processor and graphics...)
Wanted to try this on M9, but my line is playing up, cannot download it. Will try again tomorrow.

Sorry. My bad. I guess I was just so frustrated when writing the report that I forgot to check. Anyways......... I installed Mageia 9 in that VM. I can try to reproduce the issue in Mageia 8 if needed/wanted. That will have to wait until Tuesday next week as I can't access that computer until then.
Mageia 9, LxQt, real hardware. alienarena-7.71.3-0.svn5693.1.mga9 alienarena-data-7.71.3-0.svn5693.1.mga9.noarch openal-1.23.0-1.mga9.x86_64 opengl-games-utils-0.2-3.mga9.noarch This is a monster to install; but having sat through that - it works entirely, within my lack of knowledge of it. Kristoffer: please say what veriison you have (M8 & M9), whether it works for you on M9 (? inferred from previous comment), same for M8.

You should be using above the same graphics VM environment as sturmvogel comment 4 (M8), which works. You have not answered the simple questions at the end of comment 7. Can we infer that alienarena (state version) still does not work on your M9 VM under Win11 host? What about an M8 quest system? We could be in a problem of VirtualBox on Windows 11.
I also tested alienarena-7.71.3-0.svn5693.1.mga9 in a MGA9 guest on a MGA8 host. It also works. I can move and shoot and see all graphics. Lets summarize Lewis and mine tests: - alienarena in a MGA8 guest on a MGA8 host works - alienarena in a MGA9 guest on a MGA8 host works - alienarena in MGA9 on bare metal works So the issue is either in Windows 11 or Virtualbox for MS Windows. So nothing for the Mageia bugtracker...

So > nothing for the Mageia bugtracker... Have you tested to run alienarena using Windows 11 with a Mageia 8 VM? Please do if you haven't. The computer I mentioned HP EliteDesk 800 G4 WKS TWR is owned by Umeå Municipality so I'm not entitled to install Mageia 8 or 9 on/in it. The only way to test is either by booting Mageia 8 from a Live USB or by installing it in a VM. However, I took the liberty of building the latest revision from the upstream svn so I will test the rpm on Tuesday next week. Here's the link to my copr repo in case you would like to try it out. /Kristoffer

Sorry to tell you but this is not the MS Windows bugtracker. Don't own a MS Windows since over 25 years and will never install one again an my machine park.
Mageia 8 is EOL.
