    When reporting issues it really helps if you can provide info from the PA logs.

    The log directory can be found in your Planetary Annihilation directory (see below).

    If you have an issue with a specific game hosted on the PlayFab servers then please include the game Lobby ID from the logs.

    It also really helps if you can confirm issues without mods (see below).

    For windows reports please include your dxdiag report:

    Game Lobby IDs

    Look for lobbyId and lobby_id in logs.


    Hard Crash Links


    These are automatically uploaded and logged as:

    Windows PA Directory


    The default location is usually in your local app data directory.

    Paste the full path into the address bar of an explorer window:
    • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation

    OS X PA Directory

    The default location is usually in your local library folder:
    • /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation
    • ~/Library/Application Support/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation (command line)
    Your user library folder is hidden by default and can be accessed via:

    Linux PA Directory


    The default location is usually in your home directory:
    • ~/.local/Uber Entertainment/Planetary Annihilation/

    Disabling Mods (--nomods)

    You can launch PA with all mods disabled via the --nomods command line option using one of the following:

    • Steam: right click on game > properties > set launch options
    • Uber Launcher: click on name > build options > additional command-line options

    BSOD means hardware trouble (or severe driver trouble). This thread is only for explaining how to get log files though, so could you make a new thread on this Support forum instead of posting here where it might be missed? Include the error you get in the BSOD and also post a DxDiag.txt in there.

    Try turning off HDR. This thread is only for explaining how to get log files though, so if the crashing continues could you make a new thread on this Support forum instead of posting here where it might be missed? Also post the logs in there.

    Ah, right, sorry. It's under Settings -> Graphics in PA. It's an effect that is supposed to make PA look prettier, but sometimes it fails on certain graphics cards and just creates a white screen.

    I went into my Local content files threw steam and if i press on the PA launcher in the local files it open but not on steam so maybe its a steam problem and not a PA problem?
