Does anyone know, if they are working on this problem? I mean an update to the progress on solving this issue. If this issue can't be solved will they issue a refund for the alpha (for those who can't play it)?
I found for me that on the machines I have issue with installing to c:\Planetary Annihilation\ fixed my problems.
My bad on the long post, did not realize it was going to be as long as a game of civ on marathon mode. I just REALLY want to play this game and I'm glad I'm not the only person with this problem.
Garat must not have seen it yet, cause he said he was going to nuke posts like that. Anyways I'm seeing this with 49595, weird thing is game use to work until I updated. While nothing else on the system has changed. So while it may not be a Uber specific bug, they were either allowing or ignoring something before that is not being so now. Something changed in the game to cause this for me. Card: Nvidia Geforce GT330M I think its being tracked also with this bug: http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/inde ... ask_id=182
Then upload your DxDiag.txt here. Nobody can help you without information about your operation system and hardware. I can give you 99% guarantee that is not game bug. It's won't be fixed in any new build.
I just bought the Alpha and am experianceing the same. Whenever I start the game, or want to, it gives me the "PA.exe has stopped working" message I tryed a solution or two, but none helped >< Please help me Here ould be my PC specs: Windows 7 64-bit PC Intel Core i5 CPU M560 @ 2.67GHz 4 GB RAM Intel HD Graphics
In almost all circumstances, this is a driver or admin issue. First off, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. If you're running intel integrated graphics older than HD4000, you may run into some serious performance problems. As graphics go, those are very under-powered. It should, however, still run. You need to make sure you have the latest drivers though. If you attach your DX Diag, that will help. Please don't copy/paste it. Just attach the .txt file.
Here is my Dxdiag information, I would be happier simply to know what I could do to get this game working.
King Mako, this would be the problem: Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 8/25/2010 19:36:02, 6547968 bytes And what we mean when you need up to date drivers. Those graphics drivers are three years old. :/ You need to update your graphics drivers.
Unfortunately your laptop is too old and not met minimal system requirements for this game. You can grab latest video drivers garat mentioned here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail ... ldID=22165 But I really doubt game you able play game on this hardware.
"Your computer does not meet minimal requirements to install this software" Well... I suppose I won't be playing this game any time soon...
Anyway try to update drivers and check if it's helps. Unfortunately low-end laptop from 2009 isn't best hardware for any games.
I am having the same issue discussed in this topic. whenever i try to run the game i get a message saying that the pa.exe has stopped working. i have updated all my drivers and that has not changed the problem. i have attached my DxDiag in case it helps figure out the problem.
There must be newer drivers for your video card than this: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 12/17/2009 04:50:55, 4684288 bytes Finding mobile graphics driver updates can be hard, but see if you can find a download for that on ATI.com. There's no way that's gonna run.
Or, try this: http://laptopvideo2go.com/ It's a site that produces new .inf files for graphics drivers, which means they'll work on any Nvidia card, even funky OEM ones. If you have an Nvidia card, go there! Download the .inf file they have for a particular driver version, and then download the driver itself from them, as well. Unzip the driver files, and then overwrite the driver file's original .inf with the NEW one. That'll unlock the drivers to work with any Nvidia chipset, even the mobile ones, no matter if the original OEM doesn't produce drivers anymore. Once you've overwritten the .inf file, install the drivers. Now test it out! If it works, great! if not, try a different version and .inf file from that set (don't mix .inf files with different driver versions). Nvidia puts out an insane number of new driver versions each year: keep trying until you find one that's stable on your machine. A good rule of thumb to use is to look at the number of people that have downloaded a particular driver set: the more people that have it, the more compatible it is. I've used it to prolong the usefulness of older Nvidia-based laptops for years, now!
Your driver is outdated Date and Size: 5/25/2010 05:15:33, 2374560 bytes you can go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7- ... river.html if you have windows 7 or 8 and download new drivers free. Hope this helps. If your comp does not meet minimal requirements for this. Bring it to a computer shop like PC world and see if they will do you a good price to improve your comps ram and so on. Hope this helps.
Outdated drivers is your problem: New drivers are here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/w ... sta64.aspx You can also use "Latest Beta Driver", it's should work fine and give a bit better performance.
