I originally posted this on the PA forum, not the titans one (oops!) The title says it all really. I have been wanting to buy this for a while, and when I saw it going cheap on humble, I jumped at the opportunity. On startup, the game plays a video cinematic, and then drops me into a black screen, with a chat box at the bottom, but otherwise no interface. Sound works fine, and I can make some interface sounding noises by mashing my keyboard. uname -a: Linux chevron 5.0.0-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.0.2-1~exp1 (2019-03-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and purged the configuration folder, and installed on 2 different devices (an SSD and a CephFS folder). I know that this symptom is rather common, but I have iterated through and combined all of the fixes I could find, but to no avail. Anything else for me to try?
man I got the same issue.. the menu briefly appears then vanishes, buttons work an older thread on steam suggested putting --software-ui in launch options but that didnt help the game started on Ubuntu 18.04 except i had graphical glitches in-game OS: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64 Kernel: 5.0.1-050001-generic Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: GNOME 3.32.0 CPU: Intel i5-4590 (4) @ 3.700GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 570 Memory: 2892MiB / 15974MiB Mesa 19.2.0-devel - padoka PPA
Hey just an update logged a ticket a while ago got a message that they probably wont reply till June things ive tried --software-ui mode legacy mode I installed it on my laptop (Ubuntu 19.04, Intel 620 graphics) and it's fine so i think the problem is specific to AMD.
I have the same issue on my system. I am encountering it since i switched from NVIDIA to an AMD GPU. The game seems to work with the AMDGPU-PRO Drivers but will fail with the AMDGPU-ALL OPEN (MESA) Drivers. Since the AMDGPU-PRO Drivers are not available for the most distributions and is tailored towards special enterprise usecases it is not an option for many linux gamers.
I posted a ticket, which has had no response or interaction of any form in a month. Is there anything else I can do?
Today, I updated my ubuntu and now i have this problem too. Black screen and only the chat box appears. Before, the game worked with the know graphic glitches.
I can find reports like that in the forum from back in 2015... I've had this problem myself for more than a year afaik.
also posted a ticket today. by the way, i found a way to workaround this black screen issue under linux/amdgpu. but then many othere problems appear ingame. so absolutley no point in fixing this it seems, that pa/coherent and amdgpu driver is more and more incompatible with every amdgpu driver :/ timing issues when drawing layers... numbus look and feel for java swing also has rendering issues now. manually drawing into JPanel also causes some issues when putting jpanel into jpanel... and so on... who is amdgpu making the drivers for? where is documented what the amdgpu requires us developers to do in order to do it correctly???
Hi linux users. Great news. I can run PA under ubuntu 19.04 with amdgpu now, using rx580. And it's surprisingly easy workaround - you will like it :-D We enforce using the windows version of PA and launch it with proton. coherent ui supports wine but needs rendering by software. 1. Go to the steam library, open PA settings. 2. first tab: enforce specific compatibility tool: for example proton 4.2-9 (works for me) 3. in same tab: start options: %command% --software-ui 4. I also disabled BPM overlay, whatever that is. game works better then ever under linux texture working, no black rectangles, no artefacts, fency glowing lights are working... but sound is jittering a bit due to my system-wide-pulseaudio-setup. but its perfect now. sure, performance could be a bit better for me, but i won't complain with my 4k setting. performance is better for me than in native linux mode. only one big issue: cover the line no longer works. It doesn't recognice right click release :-( :-( or in other words: drag gesture isn't working for cover the line but middle click drag gesture for planet move is working... have fun and give me a like if this post helped you! <3
windows version under linux/amd/steam/proton does not support ranking. ranking crashes as soon as waiting dialog opens.
After wanting to play PA after so long i ran into the same issue, After running the PA from command line i noticed i was missing libudev.so from my linux distro "KDE neon User Edition 5.17" and ended up installing it using a guide i found after googling, which now gets me past the black screen, hope this may help some. Sincerely FoxCon24 System : OS: "KDE neon User Edition 5.17" Kernel: 5.4.8-050408-generic Resolution: 2560x1440 DE: KDE CPU: AMD Ryzen 2700 GPU: AMD RADEON VII Memory: 32GB Mesa 20.0.0-devel (git-dd09f1d 2020-01-07 bionic-oibaf-ppa)
By the way, you don't need to install anything. You can just symlink /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0. So even though CoherentUI requires the udev lib, it doesn't actually seem to use it in any way. So in the PA directory, you can type: Code: ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0 That will get rid of the black screen. Well, in many cases it will. Adjust as necessary for distributions other than Ubuntu.
