Linux Planetary Annihilation Titans & Classic Support Wiki
REPLACED BY: https://planetaryannihilation.com/support/linux/
Planetary Annihilation is a cross platform client / server networked OpenGL application.
Any software that interferes with network connections or OpenGL can cause issues.
When playing you are connecting to a local server or hosted server over the internet. Avoid playing via Wi-Fi.
System level crashes or mouse / keyboard freezes during live games are almost always a hardware / driver issue with your system. PA can really push your hardware to the max.
Linux Minimum Requirements
The most important minimum requirements for Linux are:
- 64 bit only
- 8GB RAM
- OpenGL 3.2+ with S3 Texture Compression enabled
- reliable broadband for online
Clear Your Download Cache Before Reporting Issues
Delete the contents of the download directory in your Planetary Annihilation Data Directory:
- .../Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/download/

Test With Mods Disabled Before Reporting Issues
You can launch PA with all mods disabled via the --nomods command line option using one of the following:

Crash Minidump Location
From: Where do I find Planetary Annihilation crash minidumps files?
The default location for crash minidump files generated by PA is now the logs directory in the Planetary Annihilation Data Directory
The environment variable MINIDUMP_DIRECTORY can be used to change the location where crash minidump .dmp files are saved for local servers.
On Windows the default location for minidump files created by Windows Error Reporting (WER) is:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps\egC:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp(generated by Windows)
On macOS you can use the console application to locate crash reports created by macOS:
Crash dump files are named like:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp(generated by PA on all operating systems)PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp(generated by Windows)PA_YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS_name.crash(generated by macOS)
