Okay this is not my personal issue but its my friend. He just bought PA off the steam store and whenever he joins a lobby it crashes. He watched the tutorial and all at the menu, its the lobby. I got him to print his DxDiag so I could put it on here. Thanks for the help in advance. (dont mind the name of the dxdiag, already had a few so I mashed up some numbers lol)
My client crashes like this if the lobby is using a map with several planets. It appears my PC can only handle 1 planet and 1 moon - anything more than that and I get an Appcrash error. I thought it would be due to my weak pc but yours seems significantly better and still does it.
