    I have previously had PA on my desktop. Its worked great in the past. I had to un-install it several months ago, and now when I try to re-install it, It says the game installs but I get the "PA.exe has stopped working" The install bar says its finished installing, and I haven't even tried to start the game when it breaks.

    Any thoughts?

    I've tried installing these drivers in the past and they make my Desktop Bluescreen, I'll try installing them again differently, but the problem isn't that the game wont run, the launcher wont even initialize. It used to play just fine even with the old drivers.

    figured it out lol. I have my admin settings so that anything that tries to install without my permission (e.i. not using administrator controls to install drivers) won't be allowed to.

    Still no idea why the game launcher wont run though.

    Can you please create new DxDiag and upload it again?

    AMD driver installer is buggy like hell, so it's usually not update drivers properly. Best solution here is remove existing drivers though Windows Control Panel and then install driver package again.

    Game Launcher didn't create an Appdata file location.

    What exactly location you talking about?
    There is no "Uber Entertainment" directory?

    Also are you running game though Steam or standalone launcher?

    Then it's fairly weird. Some ideas is here:
    1 - Try to download and run "glewinfo.exe", then it's should create "glewinfo.txt", please upload it?

    2 - Open directory where game installed, open bin_x86 directory and run PA.exe from here.
    This is 32-bit version and it's might help to avoid some crashes.

    Here is a screenshot of my PA Install location

    *Edit
    When I launch the application, regardless of administrator preferences, the application immediately stops working. The launcher doesn't load, no patch, and as a result, no game installation.

    GL support looks fine. Actually it's really really weird that you missing crash logs.

    Weird. Are you sure you actually using this launcher and not some other? You might just want to find "bin_x86" on disk so you'll find where is game installed.

    Is AppData a hidden folder for you? If you change your settings to view hidden folders, does it appear?

    I can see my AppData folder, will continue looking for my bin_x86 folder.

    If you getting "PA.exe stopped working" it's mean you should be have game installed somewhere so I sure you'll find it.
