Crash Issue

Hello, my friend recently bought me Planetary Annihilation, over the next few days of playing it, I started noticing intermittent crashes, like getting in halfway through a Galactic War battle. I haven't found a fix for it so I decided to post my DxDiag here to save some time. Any help would be appreciated.

I have also noticed that the 'Launch PA' button has disappeared from my launcher, the only mods I have installed at the moment are: Awesome Projectiles and Free Energy.

That's really strange that the launch button disappeared for you. I don't think I've seen that one before. Could you also post a PA log? You can find those in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log". You can just copy-paste that in the address bar of Explorer.

You should still be able to launch PA by going to C:\Games, which I think is where PA is installed by default on Windows.

Thanks for the reply, I checked the thread again after my game crashed, I will post the most recent log.
Update: The Launch PA button reappeared after clearing the Recycle bin?
The PAMM said something about not detecting steam.
( The contents of the recycling bin was a shortcut to Planetary Annihilation that I threw away because the icon wasn't there ).

Thanks!. It seems to complain about broken unit data. Can you try verifying the integrity of your game cache? Instructions are here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

Also, could you try running PA with --nomods to disable any mod data from even being accessed. You can set that by right-clicking on PA in Steam and choosing "Set Launch Options".

Thanks for the reply, I would also get lag spikes when an Orbital Laser Platform was finished building and when it would die. I will post an update after I have finished verifying and checking for crashes.

Finished validating, was about 3-4 minutes, I don't think it detected anything wrong. Will try it out now.

Launched the game the first time and it crashed, here's the log.

Halfway into another game it crashes again.

Crashes now happen very often.

Ah, that's too bad. Those logs never seem to get to the point of uploading a crash dump.

This may sound a bit odd, but can you try unplugging the USB headset and see if it still crashes? At least, I think it's a head set. The DxDiag.txt is a bit unclear about that.

If that doesn't work, do try running PA with the --nomods parameter. The log you posted last showed that it was still loading mods.

Okay, my USB headset crashes my other games too sometimes, I'll give it a try.

I started it up today, it was on the main menu for about 2 minutes then crashed, I tried to launch it again but it crashes instantly after I press 'Play'.

That was without the headset?

It was still connected but I will try that now, I just rebooted my desktop from a bluescreen. I don't know what happened.

Out of curiosity, do you have the latest Intel graphics drivers as well as your Nvidia ones?

I'm not sure about that, so far there haven't been any crashes.

Nevermind, it just crashed, here's the log.

Well, you can try updating the Intel drivers. Yours aren't that old (March), but newer ones do seem to be available. See here: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu

While you are at it, you may as well update all of the chipset drivers. A handy tool for that can be found here: http://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php

Will try it out, thanks.
