Hey! This is great, but two things are wrong with trying to run PA on my Slackware 64 setup. #1 - The binary looks for libTelemetryX64c.so but the only file that actually exists in the PA folder is libTelemetryX64.so so I think this is just a simple typo, however it is easily worked around with a simple symlink. #2 - the 64bit binary attempts to load the version of libnspr4.so found in /usr/lib, this throws a wrong executable format error because Slackware keeps its 32 bit libs in /usr/lib and its 64bit libs in /usr/lib64. Please change the lib search to check for libs in the 64 bit dir first. Until then, I'm just getting a black screen. Note that I have done the enabling required for playing on steam. Edit: Even better, a command line switch for specifiying what dir to search would be nice, as well as a permanent config option. OS: Slackware64 14.0 w/ Aliens Multilib package. Hardware: Clevo x8100 Laptop (Mostly with stock components, google will find this list.) Intel i7 Q720 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 285M (Using Proprietary NVIDIA blob.) 8GB DDR3
Please add your hardware information, so everybody else might find what's hardware is actually checked and compatible.
also on slackware64 14.0 with alien multilibs no issues with installing PA through steam and had no trouble with linking to libs/etc. as for performance i maxed everything and started with 60fps dropping down to a very choppy 30fps near the end of a game with bots(honestly i expected worse numbers in alpha) system spec: Code: Processor Information: Vendor: GenuineIntel Speed: 3392 Mhz 8 logical processors 4 physical processors HyperThreading: Supported FCMOV: Supported SSE2: Supported SSE3: Supported SSSE3: Supported SSE4a: Unsupported SSE41: Supported SSE42: Supported Operating System Version: Linux 3.2 (64 bit) Kernel Name: Linux Kernel Version: 3.2.29 X Server Vendor: The X.Org Foundation X Server Release: 11203000 X Window Manager: KWin Steam Runtime Version: steam-runtime-release-i386_2013-05-08 Video Card: Driver: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce GTX 590/PCIe/SSE2 Driver Version: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 319.23 Desktop Color Depth: 24 bits per pixel Monitor Refresh Rate: 60 Hz VendorID: 0x10de DeviceID: 0x1088 Number of Monitors: 1 Number of Video Cards Not Detected Primary Display Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Desktop Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Primary Display Size: 20.04" x 11.26" (22.95" diag) 50.9cm x 28.6cm (58.3cm diag) Primary Bus: PCI Express 16x Primary VRAM: 1536 MB Supported MSAA Modes: 2x 4x 8x 16x Sound card: Audio device: Realtek ALC892 Memory: RAM: 15934 Mb Miscellaneous: UI Language: English LANG: en_US Microphone: Not set Total Hard Disk Space Available: 874392 Mb Largest Free Hard Disk Block: 261915 Mb
Slackerlinux, how do you force ld to find the right libs?

Edit2: Ok, after jiggering with my ld.so.conf and symlinking all the missing .so files from the firefox lib64 subdirectory, I have resolved the finding the wrong libs problem. However, a new problem has cropped up: [2695:2695:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(578)] Failed to load /Private/Brokenshakles/.Data/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak After double checking, I have confirmed that host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak does not exist on my PA installation. Also, according to my research getsockopt code 111 is the code for connection refused, so that may be why the files are missing.
worked out of the box for me(build 49525) afaik libnspr4 is included by default with slackware in mozilla-nss package heres the log of the game starting also where libnspr4 is on my system hopefully that will help you Code: root@slacker:/home/slacker# locate libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/thunderbird-17.0.2/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/seamonkey-2.15.1/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/firefox-18.0.1/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.12.1/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/libnspr4.so /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.old/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnspr4.so /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnspr4.so /home/slacker/.local/share/oldsteam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnspr4.so /home/slacker/.local/share/oldsteam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnspr4.so root@slacker:/home/slacker# ldconfig -p | grep libnspr4.so libnspr4.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libnspr4.so libnspr4.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so libnspr4.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so Code: bash-4.2$ ./PA Attempting to load /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64c.so Telemetry: Failed to load /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64c.so: /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Telemetry: Loading libTelemetryX64c.so...failed: libTelemetryX64c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Telemetry: Loading unchecked build /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64.so...success! rrSockett: getsockopt reported 111 while getting connection status [13:55:04.970] INFO Log file /home/slacker/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-13-55-04.970.txt opened [13:55:04.970] INFO FILE [13:55:04.970] INFO S: /home/slacker/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-13-55-04.970.txt [13:55:04.970] INFO L: /user/log/PA-13-55-04.970.txt [13:55:04.970] INFO FILE [13:55:04.970] INFO S: /home/slacker/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-13-54-55.182.txt [13:55:04.970] INFO L: /user/log/PA-13-54-55.182.txt [13:55:05.027] INFO GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation [13:55:05.027] INFO GL_RENDERER: GeForce GTX 590/PCIe/SSE2 [13:55:05.027] INFO GL_VERSION: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 319.23 [13:55:05.027] INFO GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler [13:55:05.055] INFO Configure, 1280 by 720 [13:55:05.058] INFO build version 49525 [13:55:05.058] INFO Coherent content root: "file:///home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/media/ui/" [13:55:05.058] INFO Coherent host dir: "/\x00h\x00o\x00m\x00e\x00/\x00s\x00l\x00a\x00c\x00k\x00e\x00r\x00/\x00.\x00l\x00o\x00c\x00a\x00l\x00/\x00s\x00h\x00a\x00r\x00e\x00/\x00S\x00t\x00e\x00a\x00m\x00/\x00S\x00t\x00e\x00a\x00m\x00A\x00p\x00p\x00s\x00/\x00c\x00o\x00m\x00m\x00o\x00n\x00/\x00P\x00l\x00a\x00n\x00e\x00t\x00a\x00r\x00y\x00 \x00A\x00n\x00n\x00i\x00h\x00i\x00l\x00a\x00t\x00i\x00o\x00n\x00/\x00h\x00o\x00s\x00t\x00/\x00" [13:55:05.058] INFO Coherent local store: "/\x00h\x00o\x00m\x00e\x00/\x00s\x00l\x00a\x00c\x00k\x00e\x00r\x00/\x00.\x00l\x00o\x00c\x00a\x00l\x00/\x00U\x00b\x00e\x00r\x00 \x00E\x00n\x00t\x00e\x00r\x00t\x00a\x00i\x00n\x00m\x00e\x00n\x00t\x00/\x00P\x00l\x00a\x00n\x00e\x00t\x00a\x00r\x00y\x00 \x00A\x00n\x00n\x00i\x00h\x00i\x00l\x00a\x00t\x00i\x00o\x00n\x00/\x00l\x00o\x00c\x00a\x00l\x00s\x00t\x00o\x00r\x00e\x00" [13:55:05.080] INFO setupViewportStack : 1 [8892:8892:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(578)] Failed to load /home/slacker/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak Some features may not be available.

Holy wow! More Slackware users! I thought I was alone in the (PA) world! [EDIT]I guess I'm late to the Linux party (busy week), but version 49525 works flawlessly on my Slackware 14 x64 install. (No multilib) By flawless, I mean it runs identically to the Windows version on the same machine. I am using proprietary drivers, rather than the open drivers (due to power management issues). I am not running through Steam.
Its pretty laggy on my end, but I think that is because I'm using an older video card and the only optimizations that have been done is on more recent GPU models, so I'm going to wait a while before passing judgement on that. I'm also leaving this thread open for anyone else who needs help getting PA working on Slackware64 14.0.
