I've resisted playing the alphas but I thought I'd give the beta a shot. When I start up the game I get no graphics, just a black window. I can hear music so the game seems to be running fine except for the graphical output. Strangely, the Steam overlay works fine when I press Shift+Tab. I am using Linux with Catalyst 13.4 drivers on an Radeon HD 7870. Are there any logs files I can look at to try to debug the problem?
I ran Steam from the console and got these error messages when I started PA: Code: Game update: AppID 233250 "Planetary Annihilation", ProcID 2596, IP 0.0.0.0:0 [19:09:28.090] INFO Log file /home/shaurz/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-19-09-28.090.txt opened [19:09:28.090] INFO Loaded 0 mods [19:09:28.212] INFO GL_VENDOR: ATI Technologies Inc.

First off, make sure your ubernet account is linked: https://uberent.com/user/linksteam And then I'd recommend discussing this in the beta forums, specifically the mac/linux sub forum.
Problem in bad AMD drivers. Issue explained here: PA#2343 Currently you can bypass this problem by using "--software-ui" flag: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/finally-works-with-amd-proprietary-drivers.53693/ I'm PMed moderator to move this topic to proper forum.
