    Just found out about game from friend...
    spent last 2 hours watching all videos on official website...
    debated over phone how supreme commander was not supreme...
    wondered if I needed to put myself out there to get hurt again...

    wife said "just do it already"

    paid my $60 to Steam and it won't let me get past the Accept/Decline.

    ^^I almost took up smoking again... thanks mavor, you almost made me fall off the wagon

    I click 'PLAY' in steam, instantly goes dark, see a star field background and a user agreement box, ambient noise/music plays for 2.5 seconds and it 'Stops working'

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    Dell Inspiron 7720
    Core i7-3610QM @ 2.3GHz
    8 GB RAM
    GeForce GT 650M (4GB Avail/2GB DEDICATED) <- don't think it could be this....

    nononono.
    Upload a Dxdiag.txt to your next reply so we can help you further.
    to do this hit ÿ
    then "dxdiag",
    let the program run, allow the progress bar to finish
    hit "Save All Information..."
    upload it as a .txt attachment. DON'T paste it

    Update your drivers from Nvidia website.

    Then make sure you set PA.exe to run on Nvidia discrete graphics card.
    Check this video how-to:

    Then create new rule for PA.exe executable:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation\bin_x64\pa.exe

    Well.......

    We have the same hardware, exactly. It works perfectly for me :)

    Like SXX says, update your drivers, and make sure it isn't trying to use the integrated graphics :)
