"Failed to validate your sin,sose registration information."

Hi,

I pre-ordered and installed the beta a few days ago, and the games works fine...

but when I go into SDC in the games tab it gives me this message : ""Failed to validate your sin,sose registration information."

Anyone else epxerienced this?

Yeah, I've been spamming email refresh a lot this morning too. Only having placed my order 2 weeks ago I am also waiting for the post-beta purchase processing for my key.

Tokens don't get you the final game any sooner than other beta testers.

I get the same Errormessage (Failed to validate you sin, sose registration ...). A get the message when I click on Games in StardockCentral, but I have allready installed Sins of a Solar Empire (v.1.01.012 I think) and I can start the game. (I hope you understand all I wrote)

Ditto.

I recieved that error too, but it was just a registry problem, probably left over from the beta. I fixed it as follows:

Use regedit to go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\ComponentManager\Drengin.net\

The key (looks like a folder) for sins of a solar empire is "sin". In my case I received that error because there was also a key called "sins" there. Deleting it removed the error message.

Thanks for the tip!

I had:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\ComponentManager\Drengin.net\sin
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\ComponentManager\Drengin.net\sin,sose

Deleting the second one got rid of the error message. Make sure to backup the values before you try deleting them.

I had the same problem and the same fix worked.

I bought the game with tokens through the SDC browser and was able to download and play immediately, but got that error message on startup.
