Game no longer playable (for now)?

Now that the game has issues with open source drivers[1] and with the nvidia drivers[2], is it suddenly unplayable unless you have ATI+Catalyst?

Or is it somehow possible to run older versions of the game? (I've looked around a bit, but didn't find links, and i'm not sure if they would still work or not).

A few friends of mine purchased the game, but I only have access to PCs running nvidia and Intel, so now that I've RL friends to play it with with it I can no longer run it.

What exactly is your issue on Nvidia blob?

It's described in the issue I linked in the post above. I don't know what other detail I can provide to narrow down the issue.

This doesn't looks good to be fair:

Code:

/opt/PA/host/CoherentUI_Host.bin : symbol lookup error: /opt/PA/host/CoherentUI_Host.bin : undefined symbol: udev_new

Can you try replacing the contents of /opt/PA/host/CoherentUI_Host with the following and let me know if that changes anything?

Code:

#!/bin/bash

HOST_DIR="$(dirname "$0")"
exec "$HOST_DIR"/../steam-runtime/run.sh -a "$0" "$HOST_DIR/CoherentUI_Host.bin" "$@"

Initially, I got this:

Code:

[23:26:20.381] INFO Coherent host dir: "/opt/PA/host"
[23:26:20.381] INFO Coherent local store: "/home/hugo/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/localstore"

 It's recommended that brake be increased or max move speed be decreased so 'distanceToStartBraking' is less than the radius of a small moon[150].
[23:26:20.494] INFO {{FMOD}} fmod buffer size 5

So I ran "sudo chmod 755 /opt/PA/host/../steam-runtime/run.sh" and tried again. That seemed to get the game running/fix the issue.

Is there any feedback or additional I can provide to get this permanently fixed?

Great to know, thank you for your feedback! I will try to get this resolved for the next update.

Hello,

this did not solve the issue for me.

I attached my logfile. As you can see, I also got the SAO bug which is addressed at the bugtracker (ID = 3481) but I don't know if this has something to do with it.
Also, when I use the --software-ui flag the game starts for me, but then I don't get a mouse cursor.

Thank you.
