    about a month ago PA stopped functioning. It was working fine the day before - but that day steam-client downloaded an update & the problem started.

    -the game loads to the start-menu.
    - clicking any menu item appears todo nothing.
    - after a couple of minutes the "click" seems to go through and the menu opens.
    - every "click" takes minutes before anything happens
    - mainthread uses around 60% of a core
    - doesn't appear to be anything useful in logs. when starting with the "
    --coherent-log-level DEBUG" option, it seems *something* just is waiting for a timeout and then continueing as normal

    i've tried dozens of command-line options (found https://wiki.palobby.com/wiki/Command-line_options)
    nothing seems to resolve the problem.

    i've added a new harddrive & installed the latest popOS on it. to my surprise the same problem exists on a new/clean install.



    can anyone provide some clues on howto fix/debug this issue?

    Best bet is to open a new support ticket and include the latest PA client logs and server logs: https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=182

    I have the exact same problem. Linux Mint 20.3 "Una"

    EDIT: I successfully ran the game around 4 months ago just fine on mint as well.
