Won't start up on Ubuntu 18.04.1

Stardew Valley wont start up, whether I use steam, or launching the executable directly. The Processes tab of System Monitor shows StardewValley.bin.x86_64 using about 25% CPU for a few seconds, then it drops to zero and stays there. If I launched it via Steam, Steam will show it as "Running". System Monitor can end the process normally.

Does anyone know what might be the problem? Is there a log file somewhere?

 

log file is stored in .local/share/StardewValley

 

I have the same problem. Game crashes without starting.

Linux Mint 17.2 32bit
Kernel 4.4.0-137-generic i686
Running on Intel Core2 CPU T5600 @1.83GHz
2GB RAM
Intel GMA 950 Graphics with i915 driver.

The game exits with the following message:

Code:

gameMode was 'titleScreenGameMode (0)', set to 'errorLogMode (11)'.

Sorry for the unearthing, but has anyone managed to resolve this issue? I'm encountering exactly this error message on a freshly installed Ubuntu 19.10 (64bits) on an old laptop, and I'm having a very hard time finding any clue online... The game runs fine on my main desktop (same system but modern hardware), but I can't tell from this error message whether this is hardware related (the laptop uses a hybrid Intel/Nvidia chipset) or more like a missing lib...

EDIT: I also had the issue on the same hardware with a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 32bits.

 

After more testing it seems the issue really is hardware-related: I also could not get the game to run on windows on the same laptop, and this time the error message was much more to the point, stating something like "could not find a direct3D device that supports the XNA framework hidef profile". I won't try to dig any further, I have other laptops I can use that I expect will have proper hardware.
