Hi, I'm trying to run PA on my Intel HD 3000 integrated card (Ubuntu 13.04, Linux 3.10, Mesa 9.2 and latest graphics stack from git https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa ), and all I get is an empty window frame (the content rectangle is completely transparent), a blue cursor, and some space sound. Is this something known ?
Try to run game though console and check what it's output is, or just check game logs in ~/.local/Uber*/log/ Black screen effect usually mean that UI doesn't started at all, but cursor is also painted by Coherent (PA middleware for UI) at least in game, so I don't sure that it's problem with UI.
Here is the log : Code: [09:00:32.407] INFO Log file /home/loris/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-09-00-32.407.txt opened [09:00:32.407] INFO FILE [09:00:32.407] INFO S: /home/loris/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-09-00-32.407.txt [09:00:32.407] INFO L: /user/log/PA-09-00-32.407.txt [09:00:32.407] INFO FILE [09:00:32.407] INFO S: /home/loris/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/log/PA-08-59-05.336.txt [09:00:32.407] INFO L: /user/log/PA-08-59-05.336.txt [09:00:32.433] INFO GL_VENDOR: Intel Open Source Technology Center [09:00:32.433] INFO GL_RENDERER: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile [09:00:32.433] INFO GL_VERSION: 3.0 Mesa 9.2.0-devel [09:00:32.433] INFO GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 1.30 [09:00:34.256] INFO Configure, 1280 by 720 [09:00:34.257] INFO build version 51118 [09:00:34.257] INFO Coherent content root: "file:///home/loris/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/media/ui/" [09:00:34.257] INFO Coherent host dir: "/home/loris/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host" [09:00:34.257] INFO Coherent local store: "/home/loris/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/localstore" [09:00:34.345] INFO {{FMOD}} fmod buffer size 5 [09:00:34.351] INFO Setting graphics to high [09:00:34.352] INFO Configure, 1280 by 715 [09:00:34.460] INFO SystemReady [09:00:35.399] INFO Setting graphics to uber [09:00:35.400] INFO Setting camera mouse pan speed to 1x [09:00:35.400] INFO Setting camera key pan speed to 1x [09:00:35.400] INFO Setting camera zoom speed to 1x [09:00:35.400] INFO Setting camera edge scroll to off (no mouse lock) [09:00:35.400] INFO Setting planet pole lock to off [09:00:35.441] INFO resetGameState [09:00:35.441] INFO Mouse constraint cleared.
Yep, not much useful info. There is much more debug info about UI if you start game though console. I'll upgrade my notebook to latest Mesa and then check how it's working here.
I suspect it could be a regression in mesa, because some windows are broken in the same way in steam (i just noticed that the "Friends" list window is broken, not the main window).

I don't think it regression in Mesa, I made clean installation of Kubuntu 13.04 and updated it to latest Mesa with xorg-edgers PPA, and game works well (of course in terms of Intel graphics). Only one idea is your kernel version, can you try to run game with 3.8?
So, I first tried to run it on gnome-fallback, to make sure Unity/Compiz was not messing with it, but the game crashed my xserver everytime on launch... I then tried to run the Game on Unity/Compiz, but with kernel 3.8 : the game just works. Though, i still experience the cursor refresh issue (cursor mostly invisible), and even when I set the detail level to "Uber" : - the detail level looks exactly the same as the lowest, with a plain grey moon surface (some natural structures like cratters appear, but - is it implemented yet ? - moon dust surface detail is missing, like if a shader wasn't applied), - and shadows are flickering (most of the time, I don't see them, but they may appear briefly for a few frames then disappear). Is this related to poor OpenGL support from Intel driver ? By the way, as I have an Optimus laptop, I tried to work arround the Intel graphics game issues, using my nvidia GPU (only tried with kernel 3.10, because nvidia drivers are set to compile only on the latest installed kernel): "optirun" gives me a black screen with space sound, "primusrun" gives me an empty window frame. The game is detecting and Optimus config, though.
Why are you using latest kernel? For me cursor is visible for most of time, but flickering is here. I think we both need to make screenshots to compare something. I only can say that "Virtual Texture" option actually working for me and I can see change between low and high settings. Both (on Intel and r600g) working much better than AMD proprietary driver. Confirm. Yes, but performance is really okay for Intel graphics. I actually have few bugs which same on R600G: Lack part of some strategic icons. Round selection boxes when I select units Total lack of movement/patrol icons on shift, on r600g I got them as random color box mess. On Intel non are here. And bugs which unique for Intel card: Objects shadow flickering. Main lighting also have glitches Some textures or water shaders not working correctly. And also on Intel drivers sun shader working correctly! And few unique bugs: Then try with 3.8, because seems like you break your system with 3.10. But I haven't any notebook with Nvidia, so I can't check it.
Also after this 1 hour test I can say that I trust to garat now, this game will be playable on Intel HD 3000. Even with really bunch amount of units Intel performance won't drop too low.
We may have looked at this compltely wrong. Actually, I had a pending update of the intel driver, but I completely forgot about it, my bad. So, when I restarted my laptop with kernel 3.8, the new version of the Intel driver was loaded... and the game worked. I thought I was using the updated driver before, because i kiled xserver a few times before rebooting the computer, it seems I wasn't. I retried to launch the game with kernel 3.10, and now, unsurpisingly, it works fine. The bug was fixed a few hours ago (hence, the new version of the driver) : it was related to buffer swapping issues. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67210 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67210 And the fix commit : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver ... 0cf5b33d8e (Empty steam windows are also fixed.) What's weirder is that I cannot reproduce anymore the missing planet texture or shader anymore. So either it was an issue in procedural planet generation, an highly improbable nearly empty planet... or i don't know. Anyway, I recall the game being much smoother when the texture wasn't loaded. Now, in "Uber", it's arround 25fps. Remaining issues are the nearly invisible cursor and the shadows, and what looks like some minor z-fighting between the main planet texture and the structures textures. Here are some screenshots : It's mainly because my WiFi is more stable, and I'm currently toying with "true" Optimus support from nvidia. Plus I have less ACPI issues (process going mad, backlight issues...) with 3.10 than 3.8.
Yeah, that was problem in procedural generation algo, there are "smooth" planets sometimes, at least in older builds. Thank for answer, seems like you need it. I only ask because you know... not everyone use latest stuff when actually need it.
Also I just checked latest version of game on Windows and same hardware. Performance actually much better, basic lighting and shadows working fine, but part of building shadows also glitch here.
If i start the game i get a black window with the space sound. The dmesg shows: Some Ideas? System: Gentoo amd64 with libudev and libcurl symlinks. Kernel 3.10.0-gentoo AMD Phenom X2 1055T 16GB DDR3 AMD Radeon 7870 with Catalyst 13.10 beta
