Team Fortress 2 black screen (Linux Mint Petra 16) [FIXED]

Don't install xorg-edgers. use the other ppa and solutions from comments #1 and #2.

Below are steps that did not solve the issue.
------------------
I've seen other reports but I wasn't able to get it to work, it seems to be really specific to what graphics card you have. I would like some help on checking if my system can run this game or not.

I get the valve intro video and the source logo and trrademark info, after that I guess the video plays and the first screen is missing a background and I can see the menu and buttons but those have their corners displauing a black square in front.

I added the xorg-edgers ppa and upgraded all available packages.

Also installed libglide3

I also tried adding this to the steam executable:

export LANG=C export LC_NUMERIC=POSIX

This package does not include the OpenGL library itself, only the DRI modules for accelerating direct rendering. . For a complete description of Mesa, please look at the libgl1-mesa-glx package. .

purging xorg-edgers and trying https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers to see if that resolves my issue.

I'm running multiarch so I had to use this solution on #7 (should probably used #8) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ppa-purge/+bug/892886

tried oibaf again.... didn't work... :(

After reinstalling everything and adding the ~oibaf ppa

glxinfo | grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.3.0-devel (git-d9e102b saucy-oibaf-ppa) OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL core profile extensions: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.3.0-devel (git-d9e102b saucy-oibaf-ppa) OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions:

tried adding this:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental

doesn't solve the issue...

adding 386 libs

safi ia32-libs

didn't solve the issue...

trying this:

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386

OH GREAT, THIS DID IT. Must have been an issue with Linux Mint not including those by default or something.

Props to this guy crond for posting it here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=225&t=155095&p=858957#p824734

I had the same exact problem (Linux mint 18). Thanks so much for the help. For anyone else reading this, you only need to do the last step to get TF2 to work.
