    Can you please upload and zip any crash dmp files from:
    • C:\Users\SASSZE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\
    Can you also please try a simple map like Forge.

    I think you might be running out of RAM with that system.

    How much free RAM before you launch PA?

    25% free on an 8GB system is 2GB free.

    I think you mean 25% used from the performance tab of the task manager.

    25% used would be 6GB free which is not a lot for that system when running a local server.

    Post a screenshot of the performance tab with memory selected in the task manager before you start PA.

    It's all in the same location so doesn't matter that it's Hungarian.

    6.1GB free and the 8 planet system you are trying to load in your logs with a local server and AI is:
    • radius 500
    • radius 500
    • radius 760
    • radius 760
    • radius 539
    • radius 500
    • radius 250
    • radius 250
    So that's probably running out of memory.

    Your options are:
    • smaller systems
    • adjust virtual memory if you have an SSD and free disk space
    • buy more RAM
    Test again with the PAX system.

    I just bought more ram and im having now 12 gb and finaly the custom system is worked (3 planet) but the game has again crashed after 60-70 minutes meanwhile playing. Idk why my ram usage was around 60% and everything worked perfectly untill the crash (the screen turned black and i only saw the cursor)

    I was having random crashes at 30-45 minutes into AI skirmishes. Since I did the following a couple of weeks ago, I haven't had any more issues.

    1. Downloaded but did *not* install the latest graphics driver.

    2. Uninstalled my current driver using the freeware DDU. I followed the recommended procedure, running it twice while in safe mode.

    3. Installed my Nvidia driver as follows:
    - I used custom/advanced installation
    - I *deselected* the two 3D/VR options and the HD audio driver. (only because I didn't need them)

    The client crash look like a GPU failure.

    Please backup and clean out your existing logs and crash dumps.

    Then please run another new test using the PAX system.

    After that test game on PAX please upload:
    • full dxdiag showing new RAM and clean GPU driver install after DDU
    • client log from the PAX game
    • server log from the PAX game
    • crash dumps from the PAX game
    • text of any windows crash events from the PAX game
    You also might also want to disable the steam overlay and test windows compatibility options:

    Any chance you completely swapped out with new RAM?

    Was the RAM matched when you had 12GB?
