For some reason each time I cold-start Planetary Annihilation with steam community enabled for it, the game gives me a black screen. With it turned off there is no issue.

Can you try with with the most recent Steam Client Beta and the new NVIDIA driver? It seems to function on my end.

Tested a couple times, and it seems to work now.

What has changed?

Sadly it is not fixed.

The other issue i forgot to mention is sometimes Steam crashes in the background, and this causes PA to stop loading.

This just happened to me, again.

Nearly a month has passed, and it is still happening.

Any news on this?

I finally caught it happening in the terminal:
