    Hey all,
    I just bought Planetary Annihilation! Yeah!
    Now I think I have a quite challenging setup.
    I'm on Archlinux (x64) on a Thinkpad T530 with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card.
    For now I disabled the Nvidia card in BIOS so I'm running on the Intel HD-I-don't-know.
    I tried to make a screenshot but the cursor is not displayed in the resulting picture.
    Most of the time I only have a square box of random colors instead of a cursor.
    Also sometimes when I start up the game I have hissing noises coming from my speakers.
    Despite these problems I was able to play. :)

    Is there a better way to report bugs? I'd be happy to contribute in this way.

    Regards
    Felix

    Hi,

    I just bought the pre-release to try the game out on Linux, unfortunately I do not have permission to see the threads you have linked to the workarounds.

    Thanks much, and great remake of a classic.
