When I go to play a match, the game launches fine and everything, I can set up a match (with AI typically) and then I hit play (ready) It sits there creating the system as it normally would, but once it finally gets loaded, all I get is a black screen that says "Choose your starting zone" (Paraphrased) I can open the menus, see the beta watermark just fine etc. I have tried to screenshot this issue but my system becomes very unresponsive when I try to alt tab or anything etc. System Specs: Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ( Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.0GHz Memory: 6144MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 GPU: GTX 555M
Have you tried to disable anti aliasing and HDR already? Also are you sure game is running on Nvidia graphics card? If you not sure please do that: Open this directory:C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log\ AppData it's hidden folder, you need toggle hidden folders view to see it Then run game Check "log" directory contents, there should be new file created named like "PA-05-09-37.520.txt" Upload this file on forum using "Upload a File" button.
Also, try waiting until the small light in the top right corner near the starting planet turns from Red to Green. Usually, if you wait to press the ready button until the light turns green you have a much higher success probability.
Both anti-aliasing and HDR are disabled, here are the two log files I found. I am not sure if it is running with my GPU or integrated.
lulz patience young padawans, you're supposed to wait. it goes from black to rendered, though it takes around 5-6 minutes depending on the PC
awrighty then, I just get the same exact black screen when i change graphic options or when I rejoin the game. sorry I didn't help this once :/
hm i just tryed it (and accessorily splooched my pants because of HDR and the new , hotkey(which Blazz and The Pilot will be particularly pleased about)) and it works fine for me, the load time for it to go fom black to rendered is about 10-30 seconds for me (depending on the system).
Just hit F5 when this happens, should refresh it (or something, I don't program). Always fixes the problem immediately for me.
Also don't click anything if it gets stuck. If your system is slow just wait a decent time. Beta ya know...
Also, I tried running it on my big gaming rig. not my laptop. and its just a big, intense, beta game with painfully slow load times
