Hello!
Please try launching the game with the OpenGL renderer. It's required to determine if issue is only DirectX 9 specific or also present under OpenGL.
To do so, add launch argument "-force-opengl" (without quotes) to VoidExpanse.exe (or invoke it from command line as "VoidExpanse.exe -force-opengl").

And one more question. Is this issue present in both fullscreen & windowed modes?

I do some investigation and found several mentions of the "OpenSUSE black screen" issue with launching Unity games. The solution usually refers to the graphics driver - most users who experiencing problems uses the fglrx experimental driver. Please try to use proprietary AMD Catalyst driver (http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Latest-LINUX-Beta-Driver.aspx). If still no luck, please execute:

Code Select Expand

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" and paste result here.

>> I'm sorry but I don't know any Unity3D game title. Do you have list of such? Please tell their names =)
Official Unity Showcase Gallery for Linux platform (http://unity3d.com/showcase/gallery/games?platform=327&genre=&gametype=t-all). The Kerbal Space Project is one of the most popular game for Linux build with Unity. Not advertising, just a really good game :-).

It's ok! I just need to verify you have not outdated driver.
I forwarded this issue to the UI library team and wait for response from them.
Regards!

This issue is fixed with v0.9.9 (Experimental) released now. Damaged savegame can be loaded, but it may not work properly (when player already played in this world reconnect after save loaded)!
Please try and let me know if any problems remain. BTW, this issue was present in at least 5 previous builds, so I'm surprised it was reported only now.
Regards!

Thanks for logs and saves!
Yes, we're working right now on fixing this and several other reported issues. Fix will be available ASAP.
Regards!

Hello!
Do you using latest version of the GPU Driver? Please check for updates on AMD official support site (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download).

Hello! Thanks for reporting.
Please send me password for logs in PM.

Hello! Thanks for reporting. Issue will be fixed in the next version.

Hello!
Please use "ldd ./VoidExpanse" command to check if all required libraries available for launching the game.
If it is ok, then try launching the game with extra debugging: "LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=debug.log ./VoidExpanse" and upload
log for investigation.
Usually launching issues is common for all games based on Unity3D. Do any another Unity3D game launch on your PC?
Regards!

Thanks for reporting! Will be fixed in the next version.

Hello! Thanks for reporting!
Video is very clearly shows issue. We will investigate it together with NoesisGUI team (we using their library for UI).

Do any other controls flickers? Or this happens only with buttons?

Regards!

Are you sure about it? There are should be one opened system. If not, please upload savegame for investigation. Thanks!

What about liberation of the galaxy from the alien invasion?
The big factions quests lines is under development now.
Regards!

Thanks for uploading logs!
As can be seen, mostly CPU time is consumed by physics simulation. We can improve performance by optimizing physics shapes of asteroids and ships, and do some other optimizations in the future.
Regards!

All right, thanks!
The log is EPIC, just wow! So many things to investigate and improve.
About crash - it's fixed with v0.9.8.
BTW, I noticed the game is running slow on your machine. In v0.9.8 we do some improvements for "Fastest" and "Fast" quality settings, hope they helps improve performance. But we still need to optimize server part of the game for your CPU. Did you try playing in multiplayer? Is it much more smoother than playing in singleplayer?
Regards!
