PA is not working...

This originally was posted in the german forums, but the OP knows english well enough to move it to the english support forums. I am adding english translations to the few remaining german bits. -ColaColin-

Hi, Ich versuche nun schon seit einiger zeit, PA endlich zum laufen zu bringen (schon vor Release über Steam bestellt) und würde es gerne spielen können...
habe meines Erachtens nach alle Treiber aktualisiert, DirectX geupdatet usw...
Habe keinen Plan mehr, was ich noch tuen könnte
MfG

Hmm merkwürdig. Wie genau stürzt es den ab?

@SXX
In this dxdiag I can only see a very recent nvidia driver (10/16/2014), can you see any issue in it?

What I see @thealdron have SSD in his PC so it's worth to ask about page file / virtual memory size. You can translate if you want.

Any chance you modified it's size or disabled it? Anyway what you can actually try it's go to Windows settings and set initial page file / virtual memory size to 12GB on your HDD. E.g it's might be disabled on SSD, but on HDD it's have to be fairly big. Instruction:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-virtual-memory-size#1TC=windows-7

Might also worth try to run PA.exe directly and not from Steam.

Es "startet" dann kommen nur die Umrisse von den Elementen aus dem Startbildschirm und dann hängt es sich auf, macht nichts mehr und stürzt ab...

@sxx
On my SSD it is only 1GB but on my HDD there are 12GB....

try to disable the 1gb on the ssd maybe

Disabled the 1GB one but still no changes. game still crashes

and trying to start pa.exe directly?

Tried it but still nothing....

Try to install the steam free version: https://store.uberent.com/download/pa
though that is a blind guess from my side.

my internet finally managed to download it, but it still doesnt work....

any other ideas?

maybe it writes a log under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log

Here the log

the only errors that is not in my own log is this:
[17:31:56.013] ERROR requestLiveStreams got failure: TTV_EC_HTTPREQUEST_ERROR

that doesn't sound like it should crash the whole game. Dunno. Maybe it's just something that fails because the whole game crashes.

ok
hmm
maybe a dev can help us?

the devs are around in the english support forums.
If you want I can add some english translations to this thread and move it.

this would be nice
btw
thanks for your help so far

moved

@mkrater
maybe you can help with support here?

Try to check list of incompatible software here:

Will be also nice if you can say if you have any software installed that modify how 3D graphics work, on-screen displays, etc.
