Planetary Annihilation: Titans Graphics glitch

First of all, i tried everything in the help section they provided.

None of it worked.
In the native version of steam the game has just a blackscreen.
in the Runtime version of steam this happens:

The Proton version of the game works, but i cant sign in in that version, so only singleplayer is possible.

Here is the log from the graphical gliching version:

You have set both Ambient Occlusion and HDR to “On”,

[22:45:29.342] INFO Setting option graphics.ao to 'on'
[22:45:29.342] INFO Setting option graphics.hdr to 'on'

AO can be quite intensive, and HDR could cause issues, so try disabling those.

A number of games will glitch if you resize their window. What if you run full screen, or just don’t resize the window?

Does that hostname resolve on your local system, in a terminal, e.g.

$ host service.planetaryannihilation.net
service.planetaryannihilation.net has address 52.32.50.147
service.planetaryannihilation.net has address 35.167.9.68

Well, i dont know how if i cant even access the settings.

Thats why i moved the mouse over the buttons in the video, normaly they are highlighted then. With that i mean i cant press them, its basicly like a freeze. Now that i think about it, it could be that that is a freeze and not a graphics glitch…

yes, it does. I have the same output like you.

Oh, here we go:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam/Troubleshooting#Games_running_with_Proton_5.13+_have_no_Internet_connectivity

If you’re not using systemd-resolved (or don’t know whether you are) then the other thing to check would be the contents of that file.

this is how my resolv.conf looks like

10.38.0.1 is an internal IP address. Worth trying one of the public DNS resolvers to make sure that's not a factor,

#nameserver 10.38.0.1
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1

Note that this will reset when you reconnect to the current network connection because Network Manager will re-write the file.

Why do you need to send a picture of this short text that you can copy and paste here?

I fixed it with using proton 5.10 it now logged me in like it should. But before you give me a facepalm, i already tried every proton version, i allways do. I dont know what the difference is between when i first tried 5.10 and now. But now it just works.

No, that sort of weirdness happens sometimes, and it could be that upgrading (to 5.13) then downgrading (to 5.10) the prefix made "something" else work. (I spent days getting Assetto Corsa to work nicely in Proton.)

Anyway - it works now, and that's good. :grin:

Well, thank you for your patience and your help. :slight_smile:

Sometimes you just have to give the compatibility layers a shake :laughing:
I know sometimes I have to switch from Proton GE to Experimental, and then back to GE to sometimes get my controller to work again (while also enabling a lot of different Steam controller supports) . I suspect its because its from games I haven't launched in a while and those HID changes over the semi-recent Proton versions.
