Issues with Linux (older NGUI)

[AeornFlippout]

Hey all,
First - we are on an *extremely* old version of NGUI: 2.3.1.

We've been getting frequent reports from Linux users of problems with the UI disappearing. It seems very inconsistent, sometimes happening for a user in one session and then not in another. It's happening on a variety of Linux distros and video cards: Arch64, Debian, Manjaro linux x64, Ubuntu. Most of these reports come from people with capable machines, with SM3 graphics cards.

We've recently upgraded to Unity 4.3.1, and the problem persists.

I'm wondering if this rings a bell for anyone? Does it seem likely that upgrading to the latest NGUI might address any of these issues?

I don't know, no one has reported any issues of UI disappearing with Windward or Starlink, both of which used NGUI, however I don't remember which versions. In any case, always update first before posting. At the very least to 2.7.0 if not to 3.X. Also note that only the latest version in the NGUI 3 cycle is supported. Others have been deprecated.

Ok, thanks for the reply! Looking into our issue a bit more, it seems Unity disables features on certain videocards on Linux, and they may be important for NGUI, at least the older version.

In any case, I'll try updating to the latest and see if it fixes the issue - thanks.
