Hi, folks. Great game you've made... maybe... because I can't launch it on linux, so I can't check it out.
I'm running a bit of weird system, so game not able to run is not a big surprise. The surprise is that it doesn't say anything bad - no segfaults, no errors in log, etc. Just silently closes like I've asked it to.
My system is:
Gentoo 64-bit, kernel version 3.15.5
Video: [AMD/ATI] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X]
Video drivers: open source, mesa from recent git (like few days old), llvm from recent git (same). That's probably the problem - I can't use proprietary drivers due to various conflicts and there is no robust support for that chip in open source drivers releases, so I need to use somewhat unstable "live" versions. But it's not an excuse to not saying anything if there is a problem with drivers (and not crashing).
Everything else is probably not so relevant, but just to reassure you that there is no more obvious problems - CPU i7-3770k, 16Gb memory, a lot of free HDD space...
Just as a note - Wastelands 2 (also running on unity3d and AFAIR mono) are doing the same thing if I'm trying to enable shadows. But by default it loads with super-low graphics configuration with shadows disabled and I've managed to up everything but shadows with no problems. Also it's using a standard unity3d configuration file.
VE seems to be trying to run on "Very high" graphics settings and so fails miserably (but again - it should say something about that). I've tried to locate configuration file (using strace) and it seems to using BOTH standard unity3d configuration file location (~/.config/unity3d/AtomicTorch\ Studio\ Pte.\ Ltd./VoidExpanse/prefs) and it's own ~/Documents/AtomicTorchStudio/VoidExpanse/SettingsClient.xml. But it manages to save only it's own file.
I've tried copying prefs file from Wastelands 2 - it worked, not it's in windowed mode, but aside that nothing improved.
I've tried to mess with graphics settings in SettingsClient.xml changing it to
No luck either. It also says "10.8.14 14:13:00.3134 Set default quality level: Best" in the log. Also tried to set quality_setting to Worst and Performance. Dunno what it should be.

Please, make it tell what's went wrong, so I can try to work it around or at least file a bug on drivers.
