If anything found in this thread has helped you run IMVU in Linux please mention it. If any one has any potential help or fixes for issues I will update this opening post to reflect that so people can find solutions faster. I want this thread to be a way to get help running IMVU on your Linux system. Everything else so far works without crashing for me. IMVU will also crash if you try to use anything inside the special "right click menu" but not for the "avatar menu" you get when clicking a avatar. So OpenGL all the way! IMVU in my case also freezes for a split second when someone enters or leaves a room or changes their avatar's outfit but the pause is so small that I don't even mind. IMVU tends to crash if not in OpenGL mode and "Standard graphics" mode is so slow for me I can't use it. In my case that helped to speed up IMVU greatly but YMMV.Ĭurrently in my use case IMVU runs pretty well, better than I expected at first. It should have a option "Enable S3TC texture compression even if software support is not availble" which you can try to toggle to "yes". A good noobie way would be to download "driconf" from your distro's package manager. In my case all it took to get IMVU running was the latest WINE from the Arch Official Repositories, the latest IMVU installer, and a edit to the DRI config located at ~/.drirc The ~/.drirc is not created by default and must be manually created with a program or by yourself. My current use case has been for the last few months a Acer C710 Chromebook with a modified BIOS to run ArchLinux (instead of Chrome OS). In case you don't know WINE stands for "Windows Is Not an Emulator" and it acts as a "compatibility layer" translating Windows system calls from a Windows app to Linux system calls, visa versa. However in recent years and months WINE has been getting good at running the apps that were built for Windows. However Linux doesn't replace everything or have every app and IMVU is one of those things. For me it was the fact it was more secure than Windows, open source, and free. So many of you have switched to Linux for one reason or another. NOTE: I have various levels of busyness in my life lately so bare with me if it seems I have gone silent for a few days at a time.
