About my setup:
Ubuntu 14.10
Nvidia driver 340.65

The game process remains executing but the window game is not rendered at all.
I have to kill the process manually to end the game, cause steam detects the game is currently running,
Also, going back to stable version fix the issue.

Let me know what else can I add to help debug this issue.
Thanks.

Thank you for the report.

We updated the backend window management library -- GLFW, it seems there might be some issues with it.

Do you get any interesting output from starting Pandora from the terminal? I'll look into it further and get back to you.

Just saw that GLFW 3.1 got officially released on January 18th.
When I tried to get the game compile on Linux back in december I had to use the hidden glfw 3.1 beta from Github to get stuff with cursors to work.

Maybe manually installing the current glfw from http://www.glfw.org/ can be a hotfix for the issue here?

That might help, but should not be required.

SephiRok,
This is the output generated by running the executable manually:
Again, no window is rendered.

Note: wanted to add screenshots of the console + process monitor but the forum is not allowing me the use of URLs.
Is there any way I can send images/files for further analysis?

Thanks,

Does it work for you now? I think it just needed a clean build.
