its loading 64 bit libs regardless of version running and failing when it trys to load the 32 bit version of the steam overlay library

Player.log is too big post here ...

We did most of our testing using Ubuntu, and we didn't encounter anything like this, unfortunately. Does the game ever start rendering before it shuts down (i.e. fullscreen black color, or even a glimpse of the splash screen)? I'm curious if the exit doesn't come until the Steam overlay tries to display.

Also, have you successfully run any other Unity3D-based games on your computer that you know of?

Kerbal Space Program 32bit and 64bit run just fine on this machine

You get a fullscreen black screen then it goes back to desktop for steam loading dialog, then goes back to black fullscreen then dies as its trying to load the overylay lib

You'll get a better idea of whats happening if I can mail you Player.log

Ok, thank you for the info. Go ahead and send the Player.log file to jburke@kittehface.com We'll take a look.

After a lot of back and forth and testing, we finally narrowed down the issue, but there's no immediate fix for it. I wrote a blog post with more details here:

http://www.kittehface.com/2015/10/anode-gentoo-linux-and-unity3d.html

If anyone else is running into this, try running the game directly from the command line (or create a shortcut somewhere).

quite an odd issue this, but it show Kittehface in a good light for working so hard to get to the root of such an obscure issue and not abondoning their creation on release, like so make publishers seem to do today...

The issue is not actually with the game itself (but rather with Unity) props to JB for taking the time to provide a work around ! thanks!!

Have you tried to ldd the binary? You may be missing libXrandr.so.2

There's a Unity bug which bites in the absence of PulseAudio. There's a workaround for it.

First, create this symlink somewhere convenient:
ln -s /dev/null libpulse-simple.so.0
Then edit the launch command so that it reads as follows (substitute /path/to/link/dir with the name of the directory containing the symlink; you may specify it relative to the game directory):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/path/to/link/dir:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %command%

If the game randomly hangs while playing, append “-force-gfx-direct” to that. I've done that anyway on a just-in-case basis: some versions of Unity don't get on too well with Mesa, or at least Mesa's r600g driver.

The above poster may have the true fix for the problem but for me it started working when I got STEAM_RUNTIME=0 working on my machine, which also happened to coincide with installing apulse (alsa pulse wrapper, which provides the above library . . .)
