Unable to play

[Excalibrrr]

The main menu says that I need to update the launcher, so I accept, but it's the same thing every time. Not able to get past that screen.

[Lula Mae]

Open a new support ticket and include the latest PA client logs and server logs: https://support.planetaryannihilation.com/kb/faq.php?id=182

[Excalibrrr]

Okay thank you

Same issue on mine. Current v115958 after a fresh install from Steam. Client states I need v116400. No way to update it I can see.

[Excalibrrr]

It was a fresh install for me as well

Try starting with a fresh local storage launch option.

Do you mean to try it one more time? I'm only wondering because this is a new hard drive

If this is an original install, then no. Although it can't hurt and removing the launch option will load the original local storage. This suggestion was primarily for those that have had the game for some time and where the original local storage might have been corrupted.

Mine was new install on a machine that never had the program on it before. Does Steam have the correct version of the game client?

I'm also getting this problem. Launching PA from the console gives me this (I replaced my actual username with (user)):

It just sits there on the last log for hours.

This was also a fresh install and I can make it to the main screen but it won't let me do anything until I update client. Used the verify integrity thing and it also did nothing. Reinstalled; didn't fix.

[Excalibrrr]

If we get this solved, we should all play a round together

[Lula Mae]

If you can make it to the main menu, Settings > Server > Local Server = On
should allow to to play AI Skirmishes and Galactic War.

[Excalibrrr]

Okay I'll give it a try

[Excalibrrr]

I was able to do that, thank you. Galactic War is what I was hoping for, and now I can do that

[Dill Pickleby]

the request to update to Version 116400 means you should install & run TITANS (latest version of TITANS is 116400). Change your mod selection in TITANS to get the original PA config.

[Familiar_Enemy]

I am getting this error as well. I click later and it works fine but a bit annoying. Fresh install as of 2 days ago.
