I went to check my emails... OH HOLY MONKEYFARTS! My beta key has arrived! I Backed the game on Kickstarter a while ago, and now I have my beta key! I'm super stoked. I install, boot it up, and the first thing I do is go to the Solar System Editor! Aww, yessss... I make a couple planets. An earth, and a metal. Then I make a lava planet near the sun, wait a tiny bit, and then... Pa.exe has stopped working. It's cool. It's a beta. It is entirely unfinished, I get that. I'm chill. Just letting you guys know, this happens. Come to think of it, you guys probably already know. Anyway, here's some of my feedback. You guys rock!
I have this Problem too, i make some planets and Click "preview", i've Tried to make them really small... But every time "pa.exe has stopped working"... What can i do or is this Known issue?
here it is: PS: And another question about my dxdiag, is it the fault of my system memory why I play a 8 player FFA at the beginning very laggy? Thanks for all
Your nVidia drivers are out of date, you should install the r331.82 gaming drivers , it should stop your crash-outs. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/70184/en-us
You can check PA.exe memory usage in task manager. If it's goes over 3.6GB most likely you'll be out of RAM and your OS will start to actively use "virtual memory". PA have 8GB RAM recommended for reason and 4GB it's usually not enough for playing on large planets/systems or just particular kind of planets. E.g one 1000 meters waterless earth-type planet can easily eat 3GB RAM on it's own. So if you see that all your RAM used you probably need to think about upgrade.
But One of the developers Said it too early for an Upgrade so Maybe the recommended RAM will be lower in the end Version... Hopefully
Extra RAM is never bad thing, until you have 16GB. Current operation systems are pretty smart and more RAM mean larger disk cache and as result everything will work better in general. For PA extra RAM mean you can generate larger planets or just more planets. If Uber optimize game a lot everyone will just start to play on larger planets and your 4GB still be very low again.
