    Hi, for few days I haven't been able to start PA from steam, when I press "Play" nothing happens, if I launch steam version from terminal game launches but I can just see black window and this message in terminal
    "/stuff/Planetary Annihilation/host/CoherentUI_Host: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

    After symlinking /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so to /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 game seems to work if I start it from terminal but it still wont launch from steam.

    Can you run Steam from the terminal and try to launch PA from Steam? The output might give some hints as to what is going on.

    Wait, it's trying to load 32-bit libraries? But PA is a 64-bit program...
    However, the trouble seems to be with the Steam Overlay. Can you disable that and try again?

    Please copy and paste your system information in this topic:
    In Steam window -> top menu bar -> click "Help" -> click "System Information"

    You should never ever run Steam games from console because most of them only tested to work within Steam runtime. If you want to run some Steam game you need to do that this way:
    Code:
    ~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/run.sh /path/to/executable

    Could you try this?
    Code:
    ~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/run.sh ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Planetary\ Annihilation/PA --software-ui
    By the way, do you also have NVIDIA with version 340.46 drivers?

    Those warnings about mods only mean that you are not using any mods, so that's fine.

    To see if the problem is related to Steam, could you download the non-Steam version from Uber directly? You can find it here: https://store.uberent.com/download/pa
    You login with your UberID, which should be the same as for the forum.

    Would having a dual monitor system affect it in any way?

    It's really old version of Catalyst on your screenshot.
    You'd likely need to upgrade to lastest version and it's will work just fine.

    Recently AMD stated to provide pre-build *deb packages right from their website so you can grab it from here:
    http://support.amd.com/ru-ru/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064

    Or just use any PPA that provide driver updates.

    ok, so after updating the drivers to 14.5 the game is launching, but it failed to launch on the first try.


    On a whim I disabled my secondary monitor. and the game launched after that.

    Could it be that im using two screens? or maybe because the secondary screen is a different resolution?

    You issue seems to be different, my issue actually was that I had some random launch option enabled in steam.

    Oh, you got it working? What was the random launch option that prevented it from being launched through Steam?

    It was -fullscreen, I dont remember why I had put it there and it seems that any unknown launch option wont let any game start on steam.
