    So recently i bought the game and of the 2 hours i have with it, barely 30 minuets were in game as it crashed while loading planets, simply being in a game lobby or even after waiting long enough.

    The forum wont let me post a DxDiag because it makes the messege "Too long".
    Is there anything else i can do to help you solve my problem?

    Just upload it. Click on "Upload a File" button and select saved DxDiag.txt.

    Haha, that's happen. :)

    Your problem caused by 32-bit OS memory limitations:
    Code:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130505-1534)
    Memory: 3072MB RAM
    Available OS Memory: 3070MB RAM
    For more information and workaround check this topic: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/648816742979172000/

    Also please keep in mind that minimal requirement for PA is 4GB RAM and game won't work well without it.

    You need to install the 64-bit version of Windows. That's only possible if your computer has a 64-bit capable processor, which you do according to your dxdiag.txt. You'll still need to buy more RAM to be able to play PA properly though since you only seem to physically have 3 GiB installed.

    Well, I don't have much experience with Windows, but according to the Microsoft site:
    The Windows 7 installation disc package includes both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. If you download Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store, you'll need to choose either a 32-bit version or 64-bit version to download.

    Upgrading to 64-bit does require a complete reinstall of the OS, so that means you need to back up all your data, reinstall all of your applications afterwards and that sort of stuff. It's quite an endeavour.

    That's probably for the best then. :p

    If that is so, i guess ill have to do that when i replace my hand (a bunch of cards in one's possesion is called a hand :cool:) at a specialist's.

    I actually looked at farmers sites where they sell all kinds of animals, and some of these Rams came quite cheap, even purebred contest winning ones.

    Thank you for wasting your time answering an idiot's question! i really appritiate it!
