Planetary Annihilation Titans & Classic Support Wiki

This support wiki is a central place for common solutions, known issues and workarounds.

A lot of information is specific to your operating system.

The most important minimum requirements are:

• 8 GB RAM (ideally more)
• OpenGL 3.2+ graphics support with 1GB VRAM
• 1 Mbit/s or faster reliable broadband internet connection for online

Update Your Windows Graphics Drivers

Make sure you have the latest drivers and get them directly from the manufacturer.

Laptop manufacturers are notorious for providing out of date graphics drivers that are often many years old. Download your graphics drivers directly from Intel, AMD or NVIDIA.

If you have hybrid graphics then you need to update both even if you only use the discrete graphics card.
