    Unlike others, this does not happen when the game starts up...only when I publish a game.
    Got a gtx 280 and I updated the driver and .net
    I also run the game thru steam.
    Let me know what I got to do!
    -Thanks.

    If you have the Steam version, delete the local content, and re-download the game with the Uber Launcher.

    I hope this helps, if it doesn't please reply to this thread and i will offer some more assistance :)

    Got a message saying that the application was unable to start successfully...I did manage to start an actual game for just a moment though...

    Click verify files when you load the Launcher program, there may still be a file somewhere that hasn't downloaded properly.

    Ok someone else i remember assisting had an nVidia gtx 260 wich is a very similar card to what your using (the gtx 260 is just a cut down 280)
    They had some issues getting the game going i will see if i can find a workaround for you.

    here's on option to try, it's not a real fix but it may help.
    I have some custom GL shaders that a friend and i have been working on, they fixes some issues with broken GL standards being currently used by PA.
    They are for my Intel HD 4000 GPU but may work for your GTX 280 too.

    1,
    Download and Unpack "Shader Fix.zip" (file is attached to this post)

    2,
    Copy the unpacked files into this directory and replace the originals,
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\shaders"

    Try the game and tell me if it still crashes.
    If it doesn't fix anything, pressing verfy files in the uber launcher will download and replace the modified files with the originals again :)

    no extra ideas that i can think of myself just yet,
    I will see if i can find some other people with some ideas to try , i will also alert the developers to your situation as it's the second case with very similar cards,
    The uber Dev's work real fast at trying to sort these issues out :)
    they also get a information file their end whenever your game crashes :)
    So hopefully soon you will be enjoying the game

    I will still try my best to assist in finding other things to try tho while your waiting. :)
