I have the same thing too, I found online somewhere that

-nostartupmovies -nomovies

will fix it as a temporary workaround, which has fixed it for me, but would be nice to have a 'real' fix

@smt Now it works, thank you very much!

This issue also effects Civ V and dose not discriminate if you have LSI on or off

Someone on the Solus reddit found the problem https://www.reddit.com/r/SolusProject/comments/aalfe0/borderlands_2_and_presequel_crashes_with_seg/

the issue seems to be openal-soft update 7
I can confirm the issue is resolved if you manually install openal-soft-1.18.2-6-1-x86_64.eopkg and openal-soft-32bit-1.18.2-6-1-x86_64.eopkg

Will have a look at updating openal-soft to 1.19.1 tomorrow to see if that fixes it, I sure hope so...

EDIT: Looks like arch Linux fixed it by doing -mstackrealign, see here

I have successfully managed to track down the issue behind this and it seems that the GitHub tarballs are borked, will have a revision up shortly ?

Any update on this ? ?

Yeah, I have a differential revision open D5163, but it hasn't been merged yet. @Tzigamm

Sorry! I'm trying to get this in today. It has been pending because it requires a rebuild of everything using openal

@aleksvor can you install alsa-lib-dbginfo and update the stacktrace please? thank you.

@DataDrake here you are.

Are you forcing 32-bit mode?

No. LSI uses default settings besides Unity workaround.

Are you still having issues with the games, @aleksvor?
I have a working patch to update openal-soft to the recently released update 1.20.0 that I will send up shortly, but testing borderlands before and after the update show the same issue for me. It just won't start :(

Last I checked a few weeks ago - yes, all Aspyr ports still segfault in libasound upon launch on my system. I think that we have fixed the issue in libopenal, but now there is something wrong with alsa-lib build.
However, it's puzzling that it works for other users. I wonder if it depends on audio configuration maybe?

Yeah. Different audio setups might be the case...

I updated alsa-lib to version 1.2.1.2 (currently at 1.1.9 in the repo) and Borderlands 2 still won't start...

It's a blind guess, but I think we can try building alsa-lib without tree-vectorize too.

See this issue. It's very old, the versions of GCC and alsa-lib in question are ancient, but the symptoms are very similar. @Jacalz maybe you could try this if you have time?

Good idea! @aleksvor. I will give it a shot today or tomorrow if I get some time over ?

It didn't seem to make any difference, at least for me. I also tried to force the CFLAGS to just "-O2" and then "-O0", but it made no difference.
Lastly I tried building alsa-lib with clang and there seems to be no difference in starting Borderlands 2.
I honestly don't know if I am doing something wrong here (don't know how to run the backtraces for example)...

I am also unable to launch Borderlands 2. all other games work absolutely perfection. Any ideas on what could be the issue?

@osgyan I take it you have already tried different settings in "Linux Steam Integration"?

I tried disabling it and I still have no luck, I also disabled the Unity Games Workaround too., I do not have success. I get the below error.
: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I tried steam on flatpak, and the game launches fine there, No issues observed.. I can use it with Flatpak for some time, however I am 100% sure that the performance is not as good as it would be without Flatpak.

I tried disabling it and I still have no luck,

Just to make 100% sure: Did you completely close Steam and restart it after changing settings in "Linux Steam Integration"? Otherwise it won't apply.

Yes I did close it completely and then made the changes. It is still not working, however flatpak version is there now. Want to have it working without flatpak. Please do let ne know if there is anything that can be done to fix it

I had this same issue and installed openssl-32bit, which gets the Borderlands 2 window to open separately, but I got the following error:

then used -nostartupmovies -nomovies as a workaround.

Using -nostartupmovies -nomovies does actually make the game work. This is great, atleast I can play now.. Many thanks for this workaround.
