    It just wont start

    I just bought it on steam and downloaded a 1.3gb file, then i tought ''something is wrong, 1.3gb file??''

    Tried to start the game and nothing happens, literally nothing

    Tried oppening trought PA.exe and i get an error ''The application was unable to start correctly''

    Drivers are up to date everything is fine, its been a while since i had a problem like this

    There nothing wrong with such size, this game is not use lot of HDD space.

    Can you try to get non-Steam version though Uber launcher and run it?
    https://store.uberent.com/Download/Install?titleId=4

    If you don't have your UberNet account's linked with Steam then visit this link first:
    https://uberent.com/user/linksteam
    Link your accounts and then you'll able to get game though launcher.

    Oops, looks like I missed something important: :oops:
    Code:
    Language: Portuguese (Regional Setting: Portuguese)
    Do you have any non-English characters in path to your Steam game directory and directory where you unpacked launcher?

    D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation

    And non-steam

    Looks like I have other idea. I'm not recognized problem by error text, but it's looks like well known problem.
    Do you get 0xc000007b error code with this text when you trying to run PA.exe?

    If yes please follow this instruction:
    Actually you can try only delete d3dx9_43.dll
