    "PA has stopped working" was the massage windows gave after the game did nothing at all and the hourglass was visible.

    version: Galactic V70560-main
    9382950991307103080

    I had two ally AI's and three enemy AI's
    three planets, all metal. Two where selectable as starting planet, both had two spawn points.
    I had build three vehicle factories, eight builders, eight mines, two energy plants, five ants and three spinners. I was building more ants and spinners on repeat, energy and mines.
    The timer was on 4:50 when it happened.

    You have outdated drivers in your Dxdiag:

    Code:
    Card name: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
    Driver Version: 13.251.0.0
    Driver Date/Size: 12/7/2013 00:01:52, 1318552 bytes
    You will want to download and install the latest drivers from the AMD website:

    I tested the PTE today and I didn't crash. I was playing on a custom system with a 400 radius metal planet and a 200 radius moon against 1 AI with an economy multiplier set to 0.5. I had three vehicle factories, two bot factories, and an orbital launcher (which I didn't use). I got almost 15 minutes into the game and I won the match.

    Proof:

    Two bugs to report:

    - Starting a match staring at the sun.

    - Commander spawns before pod hits the ground. (no screenshot available)

    Your Windows 7 OS lacks Service Pack 1:

    Code:
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)
    It is strongly recommended to upgrade to SP1 because it is very likely your crashes and performance issues were caused by the lack of said Service Pack.

    Also, you have outdated drivers:

    Code:
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
    Driver Version: 9.18.13.3788
    Driver Date/Size: 5/20/2014 04:44:03, 17480432 bytes
    Please download and install the latest drivers from the Nvidia website:

    That must mean that the crash issues affect the random planet generator. Perhaps that is why I didn't crash on a custom-made system.

    EDIT: @rancor47: Were you playing on a randomly generated system or a custom system when your game crashed?

    I found out that the latest drivers from the Sapphire site are not the latest drivers... I'm trying now with AMD :)

    It didn't do the trick. I got my drivers updated but am still getting the crash.

    version: Galactic V70560-main
    14609150295101666809

    same setup, same level: 5 AI, 3 metal planets, vehicle factories, mines, generators, fabbers

    Have you tried the AMD Beta drivers? They're the most up-to-date drivers on the website.

    Also, were you playing on a random system or a custom system?

    Obviously. I sure hope that when this, or what's to come, goes live, people just calm the heck down and wait a few patches for them to tune it. Start too high/low and go in small increments. It's like square-rooting the number 2.

    Very same crash also happens in stable branch.

    It appears to be some kind of race condition and it can happen in about every screen. For me it happened e.g. in the system editor. UI became sluggish / unresponsive right after start (but UI did show up) and then PA crashed.

    Not reproducible, at the next attempt everything worked fine and crash-free.

    Also, it's blinding. Bad habit that inevitably leads to permanent blindness.

    Also, lethal. Staring at the sun too long may cause you to die a questionable (and blind) death.

    Well there is huge improvements on the metal planets. From about 1000-2000 stuck units to 3 stuck units this game. I do call that one mighty improvement :D Finally metal planets are playable again it seems.
