I just bought this game and have hit a black screen at launch i can hear the music, looking around it looks like this is a known bug i have found links in the bug report to this forum but they all seem broken. can any one tell me how I can work around the black screen so i can play ?
Just fixed this for me by making the symlink suggested in the last post here (from thread: "Linux Fedora 19 x64, first run") For a 32-bit system: sudo ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 For a 64-bit system: sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 Worth a try.
Just want to notice that you don't need to do that for 32-bit library, PA only have 64-bit version on Linux.
symlink created just fine but no luck still getting black screen, its a dell studio 17 quad core with 4gb of ram and amd driver versions below flgrx version. generally runs most things fine as i play starcraft and guild wars 2 under wine with it fglrxinfo display: :0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Yes this is it, "--software-ui" flag should fix issue for you. Also if you bought/activated game on Steam make sure that your accounts linked: https://uberent.com/user/linksteam Or you can get problems with authentication in-game. Also you'll need to re-login on forums after account linking if you want to access Beta Issues & Bugs subforum: https://forums.uberent.com/forums/beta-issues-bugs.71/
First, I am using an Nvidia card, so I wonder why this seems to be identified as an AMD bug. *edit* So I used the above fix and the game started working but the mouse wouldn't show up within the frame. After closing the game, I tried to open it through steam. The game started to work correctly, with the mouse. After restarting the computer, I'm back to it the black screen. Doing the fix again, gets me to a working video but no mouse. Starting again in Steam gets me to video and mouse both working. Anyone have any ideas why this works/isn't working?
Hi, I also have the same issue. I just get a blank window, I hear the music and I am able to press Shift+tab to bring up the Steam Community interface. But I got it working with ease. The softlink didn't work so I then added the "--software-ui" flag by right clicking > Properties > Set Launch Options. And now it loaded up fine Thought I'd share to help out any others (and de-buggers)
