[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1667352] Re: Failure to initialize SDL (Failed to connect to the mir server: std::bad_alloc)

[Daniel van Vugt]

Sounds like a snap-specific problem.

neverball seems to run OK (with some other bugs) on Unity8 17.04 (deb)
and in Mir demo servers.

Can you run it under gdb and get a stack trace of the crash?
