    Hmm, I've never seen that happen before. I mean, the log clearly shows that the mod is found and the mods.json shows that is should be used. On top of that, UI mods works as they should. So I'm at a loss what on Earth could be going on...

    The only thing I can think of that might still help is clearing the PA configuration completely. To do so, go to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment", rename the directory "Planetary Annihilation" to "Planetary Annihilation.bak". Start PAMM and install Battleship again. Start PA and try an AI Skirmish game. If it works, then great! If not, you can delete the newly created "Planetary Annihilation" and rename the old one back to get all of your settings and such back.

    I accidently removed the controls on my screen, how do I get it to go back? I pressed F5 and now the controls are gone, can't pause or save the game. It doesn't let me control anything or use the middle mouse button to maneuver.Never mind, the game black screened and then crashed, I was playing GW the time this happened and the only mod that was on was the battleship mod. Heres the log.

    Can you try doing a clean boot? Instructions are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/
    Also run PA with --nomods, just to make sure it isn't mods causing the crashes.

    It doesn't show a crash in that log though. Could you try deleting all of the log files, then start PA, create a lobby to make it crash, and then upload the newly created log file?

    And just to be clear, the game crashes the moment you enter the lobby, and before you press the "START GAME" button, right?

    Yeah, don't worry about the error about mods. It just means you haven't installed any (and hence PA can't read them), so that's fine.

    Can you check the following list to see if you have any programs installed that could interfere with PA.
    http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558751813508748383/

    And another test: Can you turn off the local server? It's in Settings -> Server. If you go into a lobby then, does PA still hang?
    Turning off the local server means you'll use one of Uber's servers on-line instead of your own computer. You can set it back to auto afterwards.

    Try turning Norton off anyway to rule it out. Virus scanners tend to get updated every now and then, so change can happen.
    If that doesn't work, can you try doing a clean boot? Instructions are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/
