I have Arch Linux with NVIDIA GeForce GT440 (proprietary driver 331.20).

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: [alexey@boberarch ~]$ minetest Irrlicht Engine version 1.8.1 Linux 3.12.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 21 08:18:42 CET 2013 x86_64 Using renderer: OpenGL OpenGL driver version is not 1.2 or better. Warning: OpenGL device only has one texture unit. Disabling multitexturing. GLSL not available.

When I launch with --go it crashes:

I have tried versions from git and from repository. Result is the same.

Other games works fine.
What could be the problem?

Is it possible for you to update your OpenGL version? You really should if you can, so check on NVIDIA's website for up-to-date drivers.

You could try out the Direct3D9 renderer, even if there is a small chance, that it will work for you.
Give it a try and open your minetest.conf and edit the renderer from "opengl" to "direct3d9"

Code: Select all: This driver is not available in Linux. Try OpenGL or Software renderer.

I am having the exact same problem. I have an Arch Linux system with a NVidia GeForce GT 610.

I was not having issues with this before however. I only upgraded yesterday and this problem started occouring. Irrlicht bug?

UPDATE:

I think this thread is related to the problem posted here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7828, I will try rebuilding.

UPDATE2:

Rebuilding didnt work for me...

I just downloaded the latest minetest from the arch repo...
And I have the exact same problem, with a GTX 660 !
The irrlicht demo (quake 3 map) uses OpenGL 4.4.0 and displays without any problem.
Please note that it works on another machine that doesn't have an nvidia card.

I'll rebuild it in a few minutes and edit this post.
EDIT: Ok, it works!
Built from git, checkout 0.4.8, and default compile options.
