Hey guys, So PA crashed on launch when I had Vista, I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 today and crash still happens. I will post my dxdiag if that helps, thank you!
Your drivers are seriously out of date: Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 4/26/2013 00:29:40, 929840 bytes WHQL Logo'd: Yes Not sure the latest ones you can get with that card, but it should be April or so fro 2014 if memory serves.
Following up on this issue, Code: Operating System: Windows 8.1 32-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_gdr.140221-1952) Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 3320MB RAM You will not be able to play PA efficiently with only 3.3 GB of usable RAM. To bypass these limitations, you will need to upgrade to a 64 bit OS.
First of all your problem caused by built-in drivers of Windows 8/8.1: Code: Operating System: Windows 8.1 32-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_gdr.140221-1952) Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1) Driver Date/Size: 4/26/2013 00:29:40, 929840 bytes You have AMD legacy graphics drivers that distributed together win Windows 8+, but those lack of OpenGL support and this is why game crash. Unfortunately AMD drivers installer unable to replace drivers properly so you need to do that manually using this how-to: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/648817378357910399/ Also as @kjotak109 noticed other issue is 32-bit OS.
