Help - i am using the direct launcher - been playing for years without trouble. Today - I click on the launcher and it initiates with icon on windows task bar - but then completely shuts down. No active screen ever appears. Any Ideas ?? I tried to download new launcher - but it was partially grayed out as an install option. Tried it anyhow and no luck . Found no incompatible software .
I deleted the whole directory and got the same result. tried to download launcher again - same result. I renamed the PA directory - and still no change.
I did a complete uninstall and re-install. The launched is grayed out on the installation check list - which is odd to me. Still cant launch - is there another workaround ?
Can you start it by running the .exe file directly? Mine is located at "C:\Games\Planetary Annihilation\Planetary Annihilation\stable\PA.exe" Verify game files https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=188 Get a set of PA logs: https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=182 and System Info file: https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=212 And the latest .dmp file: https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=200 And post them here.
Thanks - I updated the video drivers - and it resolved. I usually update every 2 months - so this caught me off guard. The instant fail on startup was bizarre. I do appreciate your willingness to help
