Most everything goes to the log file. It's a unity thing. If there are critical errors actually starting the application, then they might go to stderr.

Take a look in the log after running the game to see if it is complaining about anything...
http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=21330.0

Would running steam and by extention the game from the command line print any errors to the terminal or is it only to the log file?

Could i be:

Code Select

that is the problem?
I missed first. It was hidden at the top of the log...

Less confused

knucracker · September 17, 2016, 06:46:18 PM

Yeah, turn off the steam overlay for the game and see if that helps.

UncleBod · September 17, 2016, 07:48:20 PM

Tested that, and some other things I found here:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_runtime_issues

I suppose it is my own fault. I run a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit maschine. Poor steam gets confused...

I will se if I can test it on a pure 32 bit Linux installation later today. If that also fails with the Story, it will be a real bug, right now it might be just my setup.

Test failed. The Video card was not new enough, so PF didn't even start...
Well, I will wait until someone else can verify it it works on other 32 bit systems or not.

What error did it throw and what card do you have? Linux is very picky about its drivers, so there's a good chance you didn't install the right driver package.

I'll dig out the log tonite. Tha box is old, so I am not sure it can run the game anyway...

Starts planing OS upgrade.

UncleBod · September 20, 2016, 12:52:07 AM

Tested on a jurry rigged pure 32 bit Kubuntu 14 system.
Works, and shows the help texts.
/UncleBod
Really have to make that update to 64 bit soon...

Hey Virgil,

Sent you my specs before but I might as well send you them here too. I'm attaching a screen snippet from my specs info. For the most part the game runs okay aside from that vertical line thingy on the land pieces. Right now she's clocking at around 12 to 16fps on a very large map with busy particle action. Kinda wish I could get the performance higher but it might be my graphics card. Other than that the game runs perfectly fine :)

Yep, that's on the low end of the capability scale nowadays.

The vertical line issue... can you attach a few screenshots of it? How common would you say it is? It should only happen at certain zoom levels.

Attaching image... again it's infrequent as to when it happens. it's not restricted to certain zoom levels as zooming back and fourth between two levels can both cause and not cause the visual glitch. I had (have even) the same visual glitch with CW3.

I'm mostly Linux. I occasionally use windows, but for certain things only.

Ok, a last report on the 32/64 missmatch...
iI cn sort of run on my 32 bit ubuntu system (It is not fast enough, but the scripted mission works.)
I run unil I got the Lathe ship placed, and copied the save to my 32/64 missmatch system.
The script in the mission was not running.
Log:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ZdaMv6cD-rRWJydGdQc1RNQmc/view?usp=sharing

Can anyone confirm that the scripted mission runs on a pure 64 bit Ubuntu install?

I don't think it is worth the time to find this bug, since it could be a Steam issue as well as PF issue, but it is god to know the issue exists...

I'm using Mac OS El Capitan. I downloaded the demo, and initially it refused to open. It turned out the problem was that the app wasn't set to be executable - after some Googling I found out that this can be fixed by using the console command chmod.

Once I'd sorted that out though, everything ran fine. Looking forward to the full game!
