freezing on clicking scroll-down menu

The problem is simple, as soon as I attempt to use a scroll down (to change server or settings, as well as the planet biome) the game stops responding to input (the music is still there however). The strange part about this is that I have checked most things I have thought possible, from my Nvidia driver updates to reinstalling the game. The game's music still plays, and windows task manager still says it is responding, but other than the music playing, the game seems frozen. Everything else works fine, its only the scroll-down menu I have a feeling its a simple fix, but I have yet to think of it.

I am not certain if you can see it, but the biome menu button is highlighted, but nothing has happened, and after clicking it refuses to accept any more input.


(first time posting anything so sorry for any mistakes)

Please check my signature and upload your DxDiag.txt

I have the DxDiag attached to this. I dont think my computer is unable to run the game, but here.

Did you restarted your laptop after driver update?

Yes, I did, but because this seems a little strange, i was looking for a txt file that would contain the settings for the game (so i could change them there) but was unable to find such a file. Would you happen to know how to edit the game settings without the scroll-down menus? (I really want to change what is shown on the interface)

Also I just checked Nvidia website and you're not actually use latest drivers.
You have 327.02 installed while current stable release is 332.21

You should try latest drivers and check if they're affected by same problem or not:

All game settings stored in Coherent database. If you not advanced computer use it's can be tricky to edit it.

Though file you need is "coui_ui_0.localstorage" stored in this directory:
C:\Users\ YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME \AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\localstore\Local Storage
It's SQLite database that contain number of fields and one of them is "settings" that looks like that.

It's JSON array that and this tools can help you to edit it:

If you export it that can be HEX-encoded so you might need to decode it:

Actually formatted settings looks like that:

Code:

{
  "graphics_quality":"CUSTOM",
  "virtual_texture":"MEDIUM",
  "headlights":"UBER",
  "shadows":"UBER",
  "hdr":"OFF",
  "aa":"OFF",
  "resolution_scaling":0,
  "display_mode":"FULLSCREEN",
  "master_volume":100,
  "music_volume":100,
  "voice_volume":100,
  "sound_effects_volume":100,
  "camera_mouse_pan_speed":10,
  "camera_key_pan_speed":10,
  "camera_zoom_speed":10,
  "camera_friction":25,
  "camera_edge_scroll":"ON",
  "camera_pole_lock":"OFF",
  "camera_key_pan_style":"WASD",
  "cinematic_value":"OFF",
  "show_sicons_value":"RANGE DEPENDENT",
  "show_metal_icons_value":"ON",
  "show_stat_bars_value":"VALUE DEPENDENT",
  "show_focus_path_value":"MODAL",
  "show_focus_paths_if_selected_value":"SELECTED",
  "show_build_previews_value":"MODAL",
  "selection_boxes_value":"ON",
  "selection_icons_value":"OFF",
  "show_orbital_shell":"RANGE DEPENDENT",
  "always_show_terrestrial_units":"RANGE DEPENDENT"
}

Thanks, the Nvidia update has done nothing, but i have all the settings changed now.

I guess you met Coherent crash. Can you please check this please?

1. Run game normally and open page crash usually occur.
2. Open task manager though Ctrl+Alt+Del and check how many CoherentUI_Host.exe processes you have.
   There have to be 6-8 of them so remember how many of them here.
3. Now try to click on those menus.
4. When it's crash check how many processes you have now.

Post here if there actually some change.
