    Currently there is no fix for that for AMD drivers, but you can play with open source drivers before this one is fixed.

    Maybe you have an awesome tutorial for nouveau driver as you do with the radeon driver? Would be glad to test it on other machine.
    Thanks in advance.

    You know that nouveau is really cripped driver, there is no reclocking support for most of recent cards and I really doubt how feature complete it is. I don't see any reason why anybody might want to use open source driver with Nvidia GPU.

    Any thought?

    Does anyone know any estimation on the support for proprietary GPU drivers?

    Not sure why I can no longer run PA in Debian. It used to work a few versions ago. With v55089, I get the initial screen with the option to Accept or Decline. When I click Accept, it just locks up. Background sound still going. This is the last message I get when clicking the Accept button:

    Code:

    Did see some other errors earlier on...

    Code:

    Any ideas? Are there some default settings I need to try to clear out somewhere? This run was after blowing away everything in the PA dir, then re-extracting and running.

    I can only say that those messages from log are not related to your problem. :)

    PS: Also Coherent store it's data in ~/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/localstore
    And all game settings (include hotkeys, saved solar systems and planets) stored here as well.

    That actually doesn't seem to be true anymore. Settings are saved in the installation directory in media/user nowadays it seems? I had erased my ~/.local/Uber Entertainment for testing purposes and it never came back, though settings are still saved.

    Actually if ~/.local/Uber Entertainment found settings will be saved here.
    I do know that if this directory not found game will store them in media/user.

    I'm already asked devs about that, but don't get any answer yet.

    Did a netstat and did see that port 9999 was connected. What the... ?

    Took a scan of "ps ax | grep Cohe" and found 49 instances of the CoherentUI_Host.bin process. They're all sleeping, and I can't seem to kill them, either - with a -9 or -15. What is Coherent doing to my system?!

    This port used by Coherent for communication with it's debugger.

    49 processes is pretty strange. I'm totally sure you can kill them all without problem, but they might keep here as zombie until you kill main process.

    Actually there should be about 8 Coherent processes per game instance and they should exit properly with game.

    Correct; 8 process per game. Did get them all killed, as well as anokandi_m, which was also using port 9999. Thought I had it licked, double-checked that port 9999 was no longer in use, but no-go. Still locks up, and when I close the window, the Coherent processes remain. Argh. Nothing has changed on my system recently that I know of.

    Argh. Still no-go with build 55430. On the initial screen, when I hit Accept, it locks up but the background sound continues.

    Freshly downloaded (not doing Steam). Any clues?

    yup something has changed recently

    first of all the CoherentUI_Host script is assuming too many things, like "ldconfig" is actually in the current users path variable (by default most linux distributions do not add /sbin to the users path)

    equally ldconfig -p will actually return a number of locations for udev since it will pop up in a couple of places YET the code is assuming a single entry is return THUS it bombs out of the test -e

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    function check_udev {
        /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libudev.so.0 > /dev/null
        return $?
    }
    
    
    HOST_DIR=`dirname "$0"`
    if [ -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]
    then
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOST_DIR":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    else
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOST_DIR"
    fi
    
    if ! (check_udev || [ -e "$HOST_DIR/libudev.so.0" ] )
    then
        UDEV_SO=$(/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libudev.so.1 | cut -d' ' -f4 | head -1)
        if [ -e "$UDEV_SO" ]
        then
            ln -s "$UDEV_SO" "$HOST_DIR/libudev.so.0"
        else
            echo "Could not find libudev."
        fi
    fi
    
    exec -a "$0" "$HOST_DIR/CoherentUI_Host.bin" "$@"
    
    This fixes the script to test and link for libudev.


    PA still won't run for me however,

    Code:
    ./PA: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by ./PA)
    Not sure exactly what is wrong here, does my system have too high a version?

    and then there are tonnes of errors.

    Standalone still more or less works on Gentoo/~amd64/gnome3/nvidia with proprietary drivers as of build 56310.

    Still requires libudev hack.

    Not for me it doesn't. Initial screen freezes when pressing "Accept." The Coherent debugger also can't seem to make a connection with the Coherent_UI process or something; pressing "Go" just makes it freeze up too. At the point of hitting the Accept button, strace indicates that it's going into some kind of looping on select():

    Code:
    select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
    
    I don't know what's going on. I just wanna play this game again. :(
