PA crashes (has stopped working)

Here is my DXdiag. Anyone else get this? It was fine before, but something changed in the latest patch.

Your hardware and drivers is okay.

You're second person with Nvidia card and Windows Vista who have that problem:

Please check my answer to this thread, try it youself and post here about results. Thanks.

Tried everything suggested, using x86 directory as admin.
started a game Vs 1 AI - managed to start.
started a game Vs 2 AI - managed to start.
started a game Vs 3 AI - Crash.
started a game Vs 4 AI - Crash.
started a game Vs 5 AI - Crash.
started a game Vs 6 AI - Crash.

So only PA.exe from bin_x86 worked for you? Did you tried to run bin_x64/PA.exe as admin?

It's crashed because 32-bit version have 2GB memory limit by default. You can improve situation with 32-bit version a bit using 4GB patch, it's explained here:

Actually you can just patch PA.exe from bin_x86 using this tool:

Bin_x86 PA.exe launched as admin worked for me, but not above two AI's.

For comparison - Tried launching the standard way (with launcher)

Tried playing Vs 1 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 2 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 3 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 4 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 5 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 6 AI - Crashed.
etc..

Tried launching bin_x64/PA.exe as admin.

Tried playing Vs 1 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 2 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 3 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 4 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 5 AI - Crashed.
Tried playing Vs 6 AI - Crashed.
etc..

My windows vista is 64 bit.

So it's only crash on loading of game (after you click ready) and not before? Right?

Yes. I can get into the ready room, create room, start game and it loads. Either it works (1 or 2 AI on bin_x86 PA.exe) or it crashes before i get to see anything.

Also do you really have 16GB in your system? Did you know you can only use 8GB with "Vista Home Basic"?

Had windows 7, lost disk. Had to use vista.

Okay at this point you probably need try to patch x86 binary with 4GB patch.

Also please create crash issue on bugtracker:

So we can track your problem more easily and I can send everyone with same problem to one place.

Feel free to put information of any kind to issue, I'll edit it after if required. Thanks.

im having the same problem. I crash during the load screen when i join or host a game with more than 2 players (ai or actual humans)

Please create new topic and upload your DxDiag.txt in it.

Most likely you have different issue and I'm really like to keep this one specially for Nvidia crash on Vista.

Tried to patch PA exe using the 4gb patch, said "Couldn't open Executable!".

whats a dxdiag.txt?

and where can i find it?

Check my signature.

yeah i got it. I made a new task in the bugreport forum.

Thank you
