PA.exe crashes since 70289 build update

Hey,

ever since the last update the game keeps crashing, I can be playing anywhere from 15-30 mins and it just locks up then pa.exe crashes, files attached and support ticket #333009 opened.

drivers are up2date for GPU

Hello,

I checked your Dxdiag, and it states that you have two GPU's installed.

Code:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Display Memory: 4038 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1990 MB
Shared Memory: 2048 MB
Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2014 16:48:32, 17555104 bytes

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
Display Memory: 4060 MB
Dedicated Memory: 605 MB
Shared Memory: 3455 MB
Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2014 16:48:32, 17555104 bytes

What GPU is your computer using? I think your game crashed when the weaker GPU ran out of video memory or when the two GPUs conflicted.

Suggestion(s): Try disabling your weaker GPU in the BIOS and setting the GTX 670 to be your primary card.
In the meantime, I'll get @SXX over here...

sweet thanks ! I'm playing now....will let you know the outcome.


cheers

Sorry no joy, same result

I checked your new Dxdiag and here's what I found:

Code:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Driver File Version: 9.18.0013.4052 (English)
Driver Version: 9.18.13.3182 <--:eek:
Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2014 16:48:32, 17555104 bytes

It seems that your video card driver did not update properly. Your driver version is 331.82, but the newest one, 340.52, was released a week ago. Here are a few lines from my Dxdiag to prove it:

Code:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Driver File Version: 9.18.0013.4052 (English)
Driver Version: 9.18.13.4052 <--
Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2014 13:48:32, 17555104 bytes

You will want to reinstall your graphics drivers completely in order to fix the issue. Here is the link for the newest set of drivers:

Waiting for @SXX to provide more info...

EDIT: The screenshot you provided is of a Galactic War. Have you tried a single player skirmish?

Hi there,

wow that's a stupid geforce issue !

well I've fixed the driver issue (good spot !) but unfortunately I'm still getting the same issue.

Files attached.

cheers.

That screenshot is from a Galactic War. Have you tried playing a single player skirmish?

I found something peculiar about your monitor:

Code:

Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor Name: Dell 1908FP(Digital)
Monitor Model: DELL 1908FP

It would be best if you try purchasing a 1080p monitor and testing the game on it. PA runs perfectly fine on my 1080p screen without any crashes.

Also, have you disabled all anti-virus/firewall software? For more information, please see this thread by @SXX: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558751813508748383/
