    Hi new to the threads here,

    I have an issue at the moment which pretty much makes the game not playable since patch 58772. I can load a game in and no matter the scale of the planet or anything it will do the following.

    The game will load but just show "Generating planets" when i can see the planets have generated. After a short while my commander will then randomly spawn ( no spawn locations appear either). I can move him around but there is no build bar or anything. Tried reinstalling the game. Making sure my Graphics driver is up to date etc with no luck!
    Any help would be much appreciated thanks!

    (Added note my friend also has the exact same bug running different specs.)

    CPU Intel i7- 2760QM 2.4Ghz
    GPU Nvidia GT555m

    Most likely game running on integrated graphics card and this why you have those problems.

    Check this video how-to:

    And then configure your drivers to run PA.exe on high performance nvidia graphics card.

    If you bought it though Steam then default path to game is:
    C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation\bin_x64\PA.exe

    Ok i'll give it a shot it would seem odd if it worked, as it shouldn't run with Optimus and such
    I'll let you know anyhow :)

    Please do this:
    1. Open this directory:C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log\
    2. Remove all files inside.
    3. Now run game again and one new log should appear.
    4. Upload this log on forums.
    Just to be absolutely sure what video card game using.
