I just got access to the public Beta and downloaded the game, and verified the files. When i try to run the game, the whole screen goes black and after a few seconds i get the whole 'PA.exe has stopped working' thing. After a few tries i have yet to see it recover. Im running windows 7. The game is on an External HD. Lenovo y560p ideapad. (laptop) connected to an external monitor. 8GB ram, 64-bit, i7-2630 2GHz, Radeon HD 5730 (i think) Someone help please?
Your drivers is really old: Code: Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 7/28/2010 12:16:04, 36864 bytes You need to get latest generic drivers from AMD website: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows 7 - 64 First try to download and run "AMD Mobility Radeon™ Driver Verification Tool". If it's give you drivers to install just use them. If it's say that your hardware isn't compatible you need do that: Backup important information from laptop. Download and install "Latest Beta Driver" from same page. Usually generic drivers don't cause any problems, but I'm recommend back backups anyway.
Your ATI drivers are also very out of date. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 7 - 64 That link is to the latest ATI drivers for your GPU
