I cannot launch game from steam, only the message "Preparing to launch PA:TITANS" appears but is following by nothing. Not even PA.exe shows up I can launch the game PA.exe directly I also can't see the "Community mods" menu, it just isn't here. I have the latest build/version and the game was able to launch normally just yersterday. (I still wasn't able to the mods menu though) I checked the cache (which showed no missing file) and reinstalled the game but the problems persist. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
Your drivers are kind of old (about a year), so you may try updating those. I also noticed that you haven't installed SP1 for Windows 7, so Windows itself seems to be missing quite a few updates as well. So I would recommend to update all of that. As for Steam, you may be able to get away with disabling the Steam overlay to get PA to work in Steam again.
Just updated both and rebooted but the mods menu not showing issue is still here. As for the game not launching from Steam it was because I set by mistake a launch option which wasn't recognized.
Ah ok, so Steam was easily fixed. So for the community mods, they do seem to be downloaded, but not shown. Can you try verifying the game cache in Steam for PA? Instructions are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 After that, can you upload a new PA log if it still doesn't work?
Also clear the download directory in your PA data directory: https://wiki.palobby.com/wiki/Planetary_Annihilation_Data_Directory
Also make sure nothing is blocking or interfering with HTTPS connections: https://wiki.palobby.com/wiki/Windows_Incompatible_Software
Deleting the download folder did the trick thanks a lot. Regarding the SP1 pack I did the windows update and rebooted but it somehow still appears as not installed. Anyway I never had any problem related to that in any other program and I have a good 1.5TB of stuff on my computer. Thanks again for the support.
