That steam.txt is supposed to be empty. It's just its existence that give the engine some hints about how to initialize.
Same here (Ubuntu 12.04), I also tried visiting that webpage from within the browser inside of Half-Life 2 - no dice
The fix is what I posted earlier, ie linking. You will have to link against the specific version you have. Couple of bits of info: 1) While launching via STEAM it says the product hasn't been activated. Following: https://uberent.com/user/linkedsteamaccount it shows that my steam account has been linked HOWEVER the name listed there is "Naib" (my steam nick) as oppose to my steam account name (j####) could this be why? ie profile name as oppose to steam account 2) the launcher is a window HOWEVER for some reason it is "painting" over my taskmanager. I use cinnamon and basically I can't click on anything down there UNLESS I quit steam. quitting PA isn't enough 3) It does sometimes crash, resulting in a black window: Code: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":1" after 51 requests (50 known processed) with 0 events remaining. Game removed: AppID 233250 "Planetary Annihilation", ProcID 12042 this is via steam or ./PA Also: Code: [12886:12886:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(578)] Failed to load /home/jrb/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak Some features may not be available. Also: gameoverlayrenderer.so seems' to be missing.
This problem is here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- ... issues/519 Valve currently doesn't support/test 64-bit games on Linux.
/home/###/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host/CoherentUI_Host does not terminate upon exit which causes desktop interaction issues.
Posting my experience so far. My system: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-45-generic amd64 Openbox 3.5.0 Intel Core i7 920 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216, drivers 319.17 24 GB RAM Programmer Dvorak keyboard layout (set in software) What I've done before: run PA on Windows once through Ubernet What I've done today: linked UberNet account to Steam downloaded through Steam launched through Steam - hey, it works tried to enter UberNet password - can't paste into password field, okay, let's try autotype - crash? try again - same behavior okay, let's get rid of steam.txt, run directly - crash? let's run through gdb - cool, I have debug symbols - I have a backtrace! Code: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Many thanks to Uber for all their hard work getting PA on Linux - let's help make it the best product it can be!
It works but yer buggy-as one bug I have noticed, you cannot click to select anything. Selection ONLY via rectangle area selection command & units get trapped in structures meaning you can no longer build ESC doesn't bring up a game menu once the commander is stuck no other factory or fab unit can build
We have a direct download now (also updated in the first post): http://uberent.com/launcher/padownloads For folks who really don't want to be forced to Steam. This is NOT an ideal way to distribute - you'll need to download a new client each time we push a build, because we don't have a patcher yet that will take care of you. It's cumbersome, but at least it's a path to the build. And it will get updated everytime we push a new build.
Also, the account linker has been fixed. If you go to that site again, it should fix most of the account linking problems for all of you.
Having guys like you to help debug this is what's going to make it possible. Linux has been a tremendous amount of extra work for us so far and has impacted everything from build process to which components we used to build the game. In retrospect I understand why a lot of companies don't mess with it. Hopefully the trail blazing will pay off in the long run.
Its just a learning curve. If you have never considered cross-development and you have working instructions for windows then suddenly going multi-platform can be either a few extra steps or a right pain. S2 went through it early 2000's when they ported their stuff to linux, but now with a core that has been written with multi-systems in mind (ie keep os-specific stuff on the fringes) and a couple of people with experience it is really easy. (when they lost their main *NIX coder it was actually OSX that eventually suffered while the linux-build just reliably kept building) The same can be said for the other way around. I use an FEA program from Bath university, the best electro-mag finite element analysis tool there is BUT it is Linux-only (well unix, they just stopped providing binaries for solaris about 5years ago...). They were asked todo a windows-build by one of the consortium members and they struggled and ended up dropping it.
Got the linux build 49525 running on ArchLinux64 (one thing to note uber guys, when tarring up a package, it's polite to tar a directory containing everything so that when it extracts it puts everything in a new directory rather than the current one which can be a pain to cleanup) had to add execute permission to libTelemetryX64.so and also copied it to libTelemetryX64c.so since that is what PA seemed to be looking for. installed gconf copied /usr/lib/libudev.so.1 to PA/libudev.so.0 and it works! Also noticed the bug someone mentioned where I cannot select units/buildings without a selection rectangle which means you can't issue attack or assist orders =( but YAY linux build! ^_^ good work on making a cross platform game!

I think it's hard, or say unexpected, for a Windows-focused company to immediately understand the type of community they're dealing with on Linux. We don't expect things to work out of the box, or having a three-click installer that runs anywhere right from the start. We're used to debug things, and gettings things to work if we get the necessary information. We're gladly willing to give you any kind of help we can. People asked you to just release what you have already, without bothering to have a working launcher etc, and now that you did it, the bug reports and fixes are already rolling in and people are happily helping to resolve the remaining deployment issues! Someone has already offered to write a launcher in cross-platform Qt, and you could then even reuse that on the other platforms easily if you so desire... If you give us the information we need (e.g. the data format for the launcher sync), we can do such things. If you just release a tarball with the necessary distro-agnostic data in it, people will package it for their favourite distro. You are not going to have to support all these things yourself. I am really thankful that you stuck to your promise to provide a native Linux version (the primary reason I backed you!), and I'm sure that if you embrace the community, together we'll make the Linux experience pleasant and flawless. It's already working better than I expected, giving that I'm running Gentoo rather than one of these "standard" distros. After fixing the symlinks, I could successfully launch a game on my box. So, thanks Uber for your extra efforts, thanks to the people from the community supporting you and me, and keep on the good work. I'm really looking forward to see that baby grow!

There is no full screen right now. So it seems Mac and Linux suffer from having to drag a box to select, has anyone made a bug report for it yet?
