    I have seen so many threads on steam about this and they all seem to have solved the problem, whenever i run the game, after about 10-20 minutes of gameplay it freezes, crashes and then says pa.exe has stopped working. I have tried every single solution that i have seen on other threads and all of them have their own problems associated with them, like when i tried to update my intel driver it said that my computer did not meet the minimun requirements to download this software even when i had exaxtly what it said i needed. i would really appreciate it if someone could help me. here is my dxdiag

    Okay first you need to update both your drivers.

    Code:
    Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
    Driver Date/Size: 2/3/2012 12:30:20, 8034304 bytes
    For Intel card download and install "Win64_153117.exe" from here:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23106

    For GeForce GT 630M download and install drivers from here:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-64bit-327.23-whql-driver.html

    After you done with driver updates check this video how-to:


    And then configure your drivers to run PA.exe on high performance Nvidia graphics card card.

    the intel driver update wont work, when i try to download it it just says:

    "the driver being installed is not validated for this computer. please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer. setup will now exit"

    and as for the nvidia one, that didnt work either...
    the attached file shows what the nvidia driver update failure message said.

    This is sad, but you could live with outdated Intel driver, it's shoudn't affect game.

    It's says that graphics driver installed, so it's should be okay.
    Just check video and configure driver settings as I posted.
