So I am a long time player of the original PA. Not played in a while. Just upgraded to Titan. I have no mods installed. I started a single player to get used to the game again. The GUI crashes after 5 min of playtime. The game does not crash and things continue to happen. I can still click on some units and give a right click "move" commands and that works fine. I can also give "assist building" commands. But I can not click on anything in the menu or the toolbar. I can not give any commands to the buildings. I can not use the GUI. It seems to happen around 5 min (+/- 2) into the game every time. Keyboard shortcuts also fail. At this point the game will continue to run and I can still access the menu in the bottom right corner of the screen. Although if I try to exit to main menu the game will crash only give me a black screen. I have tried full screen and windowed mode. I have tried disabling the steam overlay and verifying local files. I have tried --nomods AMD 8350 with windows 10 two AMD R9 290 Latest Drivers 2560x1440

Your drivers seem up to date though. So as a test, could you try running PA with the launch parameter --software-ui and see if that helps?
Ok I played for about 60 min. Did not crash. --software-ui Thanks I did a few missions in Galactic War. I will say that now the "Galaxy" view in Galactic War stutters and lags a bit. I did not notice this before the use of --software-ui. Overall I think it still worked well.
Yeah, I guess the CoherentUI, which PA uses to draw the UI, has issues. Hopefully that will get fixed at some point. Anyway, glad --software-ui is working for you.
