I was using it as a way of learning more about how to work linux. I didn't like performance on Ubuntu or Mint. At least Ubuntu with Unity wasn't acting as well as I wanted it too. I don't have to use Arch, I just have been working on other things on it. I'll generally just use leadwerks on Windows anyway as my laptop has only windows at this point and I am on the road a decent amount.

Do you guys use the official catalyst drivers because they are not officially supported anymore and it seems like a pain. I searched the AUR for the fglrx but I am not sure what one to choose.

Your GPU does support OpenGL 4.2, so enough for Leadwerks but I bet you are running the open source drivers which do not support OpenGL 4.0 yet on any card. Find an AUR that provides fglrx, which is AMD's official proprietary graphics driver and use that.
I'll give that a shot. Everyone had recommended not using catalyst and instead using the open-source graphics. I'll make sure to instally fglrx and see if that works. Thanks.

I am using an ATI Radeon HD7970. I'll try to use the terminal to load the program. I have issues with Steam as well as I have to load steam via the terminal but the other games I have installed have never had an issue, only this software. Thanks for the tips.

Does anyone else use Leadwerks in Arch? I get the error "Failed to initialize graphics. Please ensure your graphics hardware is compatible and install new graphics drivers" when I try to open the engine. I have all the drivers I know of installed as I can play cs:go, tf2, and trine 2 with no issues. Has anyone found a way around this?

Developing on Arch issue
in Linux
Posted
Yea, I've had a lot of issues with ATI when using Arch or linux in General. I actually have a script I have to run in the terminal to even get steam to boot in a way that allows me to launch games. I have been considering purchasing an Nvidia card but my ati one works for everything fine in my windows setup, I just was more testing development in Linux so I wanted to use it. I'll look in to finding a cheap nvidia card or maybe i'll just dual boot on my laptop.
