Still filling this out, but hang tight. Please read the perma rules at the top. We expect this forum to be very busy with compat and system issues for the first few weeks. We want to make it easy to find the linux and mac specific issues, and solutions, to getting up and running. We expect to push a follow up build to 49525 today, June 14th, which should continue to make Mac more playable. Linux status is still WIP. If you want to convert your key to Steam and get the Mac and current linux bits right this second, go here, and click on your activated key: https://store.uberent.com/Account/MyKeys If you have extra keys, you can of course convert one of those, but you can't link two active keys to the same UberNet account. Link your UberNet and Steam keys if you have never done so (on linux, that UI flow is broken I believe): https://uberent.com/user/linkedsteamaccount Direct download of Mac and Linux Bins: http://uberent.com/launcher/padownloads
Gentoo Linux 64bit converted to a steam key, installed fine go to launch: black window with titlebar: "???" now the fun starts nice!!

Did you ever activate through the regular Windows launcher? There's probably some broken UI flow to link your account still. You can manually link your Steam account to your UberNet account here: https://uberent.com/user/linkedsteamaccount
I have the same problem, that page says: Your UberNet account <X> (<Y>) is currently linked to Steam account <X>. but I still get the "Title has not been activated" message. Edit: (where <X> and <Y> are my accounts)
Ok, we're investigating the linking on our side as well, but still uncertain what could be going on here. In the directory where the PA executable gets created, is there a steam.txt file being created? (If not, create one short term, but we'll also fix our build)
Yup, it's empty: --- <X>@lappy:~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation$ ls -haltF drwxrwxr-x 3 <X> <X> 4.0K Jun 14 16:15 host/ drwxrwxr-x 14 <X> <X> 4.0K Jun 14 15:23 ../ drwxrwxr-x 4 <X> <X> 4.0K Jun 14 15:23 ./ -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 0 Jun 14 15:23 steam.txt* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 66M Jun 14 15:23 PA* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 6 Jun 14 15:21 version.txt* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 1.3M Jun 14 15:16 libfmodex64-4.44.10.so* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 549K Jun 14 15:16 libfmodevent64-4.44.10.so* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 1.4M Jun 14 15:16 libCoherentUI.so* -rwxrwxr-x 1 <X> <X> 131K Jun 14 15:16 libTelemetryX64.so* drwxrwxr-x 6 <X> <X> 4.0K Jun 14 15:15 media/ ---
Could it be related to this message in the user log?: Telemetry: Failed to load /home/<X>/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64c.so: /home/<X>/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/libTelemetryX64c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Ok, leaving the link up, because it's useful, but apparently for the link to happen correctly, it has to be done in game through Steam. This is why it isn't currently working. Just doing the link on Linux won't work. So this may block movement to further screens until we fix the UI flow.
One note: If your account is linked.. you can try nuking the steam.txt file from the executable folder and just loading it normally (login with your UberNet account) This MAY fix it, we have at least one anecdote so far, but not many details.
Well I will be going to bed soon (nearly midnight here) hopefully when I wake up there will be some sort of fix for the black screen issue on Ubuntu (see my post for Ubuntu 13.04's naming of libudev).
Right for OSX as a user who has not tried playing the Game on Windows/Linux (as don't currently have the OS's) the Link account URL reports my Steam and Uber accounts are linked. However I still get the Title is not activated error when attempting to login. Removing the empty steam.txt from the OSX PA folder does not resolve the issue.
Annnnd I just got the first memory access violation, log attached. It crashed somewhere at the end of the planet generation. T60 Core2Duo T5600 ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 (256MB) (almost equivalent to a X1400) Mint Linux 14.1 64bit 4GB DDR2 (only 3GB addressable due to chipset limitations) Messages not included in the log (forgot to redirect error log): Code: [28984:28984:ERROR:resource_bundle.cc(578)] Failed to load /home/andreas/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Planetary Annihilation/host/ui_resources_100_percent.pak Some features may not be available.

Main menu is working. Sound is working. Issue appears to be the following: Code: 0:1(12): warning: extension `GL_ARB_draw_instanced' unsupported in vertex shader 0:16(35): error: `gl_InstanceIDARB' undeclared 0:16(13): error: cannot construct `float' from a non-numeric data type My graphics card doesn't have that extension. Turning off shadows didn't help to get rid of the "to many samplers" messages. To be honest, I don't really expect to be able to run PA on that laptop. But I expect some better error handling than just crashing when it comes towards missing OpenGL extensions.
