Hi. As many of people here, I've got problem with PA. I have got "pa.exe has stopped working" every time I try to run the game. I have updated my Intel HD 530 drivers. Inncluding my DxDiag.

Known issue I'm afraid. It's specific to the Intel Graphics HD 520 and 530, which you have. There is a workaround however. See here: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/...rectx-12-windows-10.71390/page-2#post-1125609 Download the post.json.zip from that post and extract it to "D:\Games\Planetary Annihilation\Planetary Annihilation\stable\media\shaders". That will let you start up PA. Then you still need to go to Settings -> Graphics and turn HDR off.
