So, whenever I login, a box pops up saying "Incoming Transmission". This box looks like it's supposed to display a video and then let me into the game. However, nothing ever comes up in the box, and the little blue button on the top right, that looks like it should close the box, does nothing. This also happens if I click the big "Early Access Beta Release" button before logging in. Note that this is my first time actually trying to play the game, so this is not a regression AFAIK. My guess is that there's supposed to be a youtube video that plays, and that it's breaking since I don't have flash player installed (since flash is no longer supported on Linux). This is just a guess, however, since the console doesn't seem to give any relevant details. I have attached a screenshot of the issue, and the full console log. The most relevant part of the logs looks like this part: Code: 12104 03:02:42.911870 W | PID: 12106 | 12106 03:02:42.905491 Requesting resource read for coui://ui/alpha/shared/css/images/ui-icons_ffffff_256x240.png with internal id 146 reported FAIL 12104 03:02:43.369141 W | PID: 12106 | 12106 03:02:43.363957 Requesting resource read for coui://ui/alpha/shared/css/images/ui-icons_ffffff_256x240.png with internal id 147 reported FAIL [12193:12193:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(528)] Failed to load /home/alicethegorgon/Games/PC/Planetary Annihilation/PA/host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak Some features may not be available.

Since several similar errors show up before that part however, I don't think that part of the log is the actual cause of the issue. If there's anything else you need to diagnose the problem, just let me know and I'll post it.

Actually this video shouldn't require flash to load. What distribution you using? Also why you using a bit old drivers?
The distro I'm running is Kubuntu 13.04 (the KDE version of Ubuntu). Specifically, I'm running the 64 bit version, though I do have various 32 bit libraries installed for compatibility with various other games. As for the drivers, I'm just using the "nvidia-current" package, which seems to work fine for everything else I've tried to run. The only other packages listed are for Nvidia driver versions 310 and 313. I can try those if you think it will help, or, if needed, I can get the drivers straight from the nvidia site (which lists 319.60 as the latest version at the moment).
This game don't have any bins, so it's doesn't mater at all. This actually will be useful if you try other version of drivers from repository. Also if you don't have it can you install 64-bit Chrome/Chromium and check HTML5 video playback on youtube? You can as well try latest driver from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/ archive/ppa
Html5 videos seem to work fine in chrome. I checked, and it is the 64 bit version of chrome that's on here, so that seems fine on that end. Running PA with the 313 nvidia drivers (the latest in the official Ubuntu repository) worked the same as when running the "nvidia-current" (304) drivers. The 331 drivers from the xorg-edgers repository just displayed a black window, though the proper PA cursor did follow the mouse when it was in the window. The console output also changed, and is listed here: Code: [00:05:47.362] INFO Log file /home/alicethegorgon/Games/PC/Planetary Annihilation/PA/media/user/log/PA-00-05-47.351.txt opened [00:05:47.362] INFO Loaded 0 mods [00:05:47.462] INFO GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation [00:05:47.462] INFO GL_RENDERER: GeForce GTX 560/PCIe/SSE2 [00:05:47.462] INFO GL_VERSION: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 331.13 [00:05:47.462] INFO GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler [00:05:47.462] INFO Gamma correct pipeline enabled.

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 151 error_code 10 request_code 130 minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Bizarrely, running PA after the first time on the 331 drivers resulted in the exact same behavior as 313 and 304, so I have no idea what caused the errors that first time on 331. One other thing, which probably isn't important, but I might as well mention, is that when the video box comes up, the area where the video would be very briefly flashes white. Once the area stayed white for some reason, but otherwise that time was exactly the same as all the others.
Pretty strange, interesting if somebody else have same problem with Nvidia drivers. Actually if you just want to bypass problem edit this file: media/ui/alpha/start/start.html Find "startYoutubeVideoSequence" and remove/comment everything related to video.
