The PA launcher will crash upon startup and I get the pa.exe has stopped working alert. I have made sure directx is updated and all that. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is the graphics unit, but I am not sure. Here is my computers dxdiag.
DxDiag show that you have notebook Toshiba Satellite L655, but it's not full model name. Can you check what exactly notebook you have? Does it have discrete graphics card or just integrated one? Yes, your problem is caused by old Intel HD iGPU. It's not officially supported and won't be. And I don't sure if this graphics card even able to run game, but anyway you need to serf here: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect And update to latest graphics driver.
The graphics are integrated, so I'm just gonna get off this machine cause it's not gonna work. I have a different one that will work, but I just wanted to see if it could work on this one. Thanks!
