    Hi,

    I've finally dumped windows completely and got everything working except this game.

    I got the ATI experimental 13 drivers all loaded but when i press play... nothing :(

    Is this common as i noticed it says 12.04 works...

    Dont starve works from steam and galcon works fine which isnt from steam.

    ANy ideas?

    Cheers in advance

    I did this

    'Same problem here, running Arch x86_64
    Instead of setting the runtime variable, I got around it by copying the libstdc++.so.6 into the PA directory, probably should have symlinked it, but I’m hopeful that it’s only temporarily needed.'

    and it now loads but i get black screen. I hear sound though....

    Run it from console, it's most likely libudev error.

    Also you have original problem with Ubuntu 12.04 because for some reason Beta builds built with newer libstdc++, so game isn't compatible with both: Ubuntu 12.04 and Steam runtime.

    It's on bugtracker: FS#2100

    Thats what i've been working off.

    Can't seem to get that line work

    'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/bin/steam %U'

    even after corrections. I got it load though. Just that its a black screen. Seems to be running though. Thats by coping libstdc++.so.6 directly into the PA directory.

    What version do i need of the libstdc++.so.6? I'll get it updated to what it needs no worries

    Cheers for getting back quick

    Go to the PA directory in terminal and then run ./PA
    It's will show loading log so you can understand why you get black screen.

    You can also check game logs in this directory:
    ~/.local/Uber\ Entertainment/Planetary\ Annihilation/log

    Problem is not on your side, currently PA just incompatible with any 12.04 and also with any system which using Steam runtime.

    Seems like I know why you have black screen, it's related to Catalyst settings. Try to enable both VSync and change other options.

    Also can you say what video card model you exactly have?

    Then you might really consider to use open source drivers for PA. In some cases they'll give you much better performance in PA than proprietary drivers. Obviously it's will be better if you will use them with 5870 :)
    But yeah, open source drivers require you to use latest kernel.

    What options you talking about? I actually said that you need change FGLRX driver settings in Catalyst Control Center and not game settings. You get nothing but black screen because of lack of VSync.

    I broke the install by trying revert back to open source drivers and it was getting late. So.... i'm reverting back to setting up 12.04 on raid using mdadm... I was SUPER close to getting this work and have found where i went wrong. Going install 12.04 desktop on a raid now (hopefully) and try the open source drivers. If i have no luck with them, THEN i will return to the proprietary drivers and continue from where i left off. I can't believe thats the vsync option though :)

    Your help as been fantastic (and previously) so thanks a lot. I have a friend just like you that helps others on some forums and its always good see good people :)

    Peace

    Right, Got the Raid 0 to work with 12,04 finally using mdadm which im chuffed about.

    Back to PA, I updated the libstdc++.so.6 so it contains

    GLIBCXX_3.4.17
    GLIBCXX_3.4.18
    GLIBCXX_3.4.19

    instead of stopping at 16. Then i copied (DD) that updated libstdc++.so.6 into the PA Directory and ran ./PA and still got black screen after turning the VSYNC to maximium Quality. Here's what it spat out back at me

    I'm looking at it but can't unravel a lot myself. My friend isnt here who knows a lot more than me (although im no noob per say) so i really appreciate you taking the time out. Maybe a quick fix is close for 12.04 users.... :)

    The last bit

    3855 12:25:58.713805 W | PID: 3857 | 3877 12:25:58.707413 [3893:3893:ERROR:command_buffer_proxy_impl.cc(147)] Could not send GpuCommandBufferMsg_Initialize.

    This seems to be where it's failing (with my novice eye). I can hear the sound playing so the game is loaded. Just seems to be failing on the GPU 'layer' for lack of other word.

    Sooooo close.... i can smell it :)

    I said it already: this problem is in drivers or drivers settings. Try to find it in search, there was some topic about that.

    If you can't fix it, I recommend you this: remove Catalyst, update all userspace drivers stack from this PPA:
    https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/ archive/ppa
    Then switch to 3.11 kernel and enable DPM using "radeon.dpm=1". As long as you on 12.04 this still should work just fine, but may break support of some software which install own kernel modules, e.g virtual machines.

    Open source driver just works, this is why I use it. And for your card it's most likely will give you same performance than proprietary with much better stability.

    There some issues you might get with open source drivers, check this thread for few fixes:
    https://forums.uberent.com/threads/linux-foss-drivers-issues-and-fixes.51007/

    Also I just want to notice that game should work fine with Catalyst if you find proper settings, but for me it's too unstable and crash Xserver too often so I'm trying to use Catalyst.
