Howdy Folks, System Specs: intel 950 i7 8gb ddr3 getforce gxt660Ti My first attempt was Linux pa opens a window nothing happens Mint 16 64 bit 3.11 kernal libc6 installed 1st try was open source vid driver 2nd try was nvidia (recommended by mint ) 3.11 only a moderate linux user I don't know if there was an error log created because I am not sure of the log's location. I looked in the folder(s) Pa resides and no log files found pa resides at the following location on linux /home/username/downloads/pa no change no matter what i tried the black screen just sits there My second attempt was win7 64 bit in virtual box core i7 (only 2 used) 256mb (maxed gpu setting in virt box) 4gb ram followed the instructions on the FAQ page http://www.uberent.com/pa/faq/ installed both directx x versions installed dot net 4.5 installed latest ver of vir box and guest add-ins completed all windows updates rebooted the machine The game openes / updated the files and launcher and then i verified the files once i hit play all i get is the windows wait circle for 30 mins ...i closed it after that NOTE: if i touch any key the program closes and i get the "this program did not shut down properly" popup dxdiag 32 and 64 are attached any help at this point would be appreciated...leaning towards getting the "broken" windows version (pun intended ) working first....then maybe one day linux /R Slackernet
Most likely you just need to put symbolic link to libudev.so.1 into directory with Coherent host. Code: ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0 There is no chance PA will work in Virtualbox or even VMWare because it's lack of proper 3D support and VMWare not actually support OpenGL applications.

sxx Ty for the reply I asked earlier today windows or linux https://forums.uberent.com/threads/...swered-by-liquius-and-teod.54686/#post-837028 no one said a word about it not working in virt box.... My post: Hello folks, I am looking for some current user input on the game. I am deciding on which version to purchase. My current system is intel i7 8GB ddr3 and a getforce 660 graphics card running Mint 16 64 bit with generic drivers. I also run win7 64 in virtual box for my current games. Linux is a rock solid OS it's just not the platform of choice for game programmers. Any feedback would be appreciated /r Slackernet many did reply and not a peep about virt box I am not being a smart guy or ungrateful for the replies or help provided...but dang i asked before i spent the money to make sure and now I have no choice but to wrestle linux(non game friendly system) to even have a chance to play this Sorry for the rant I am doing a search now for the file you mentioned to see if i can link it (not a linux pro here, but i can make my way with a lot of google help) /r Slackernet
PA is extremely GPU-intensive game and I didn't think you want to run it in VBox. Once you make Coherent running it's works perfectly on Linux, obviously proprietary drivers are required. PS: A bit dirty way to solve your problem is make symbolic link right in /usr: Code: cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu sudo ln -s libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0
ty again for replying here are my search results...wich one do i link to ? /opt/google/chrome/libudev.so.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 here is a screenshot of the PA folder http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=sq5qw9&s=5#.UqpDTfRDveU here is a screenshot of the host folder http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hg4xf8&s=5#.UqpECvRDveU do i just put the link in the host folder? Note: the program is located here on my machine (in case this is wrong) pa resides at the following location on linux /home/username/downloads/pa
Yes, you need make symbolic link: Code: ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /home/username/downloads/pa/host/libudev.so.0
Btw, if you ever have strange instability with your system, for example total system lock downs when doing lots of writing to disk (I had this), look no further than VirtualBox driver. It was marked "Tainted Crap" by kernel developers in fall 2011, and quick googling seems to indicate this is still the case. I'm also sorry I didn't read your message closely enough to realize you meant running PA virtualized. I thought you were dual booting Windows/Mint. Hope you now have great time playing.
