When I play in multiplayer for a while *Read Topic* happens. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 7350 LE/HP w2007 Wide LCD Monitor/Vista Home Premium 32 bit. My monitor display driver is updated as well as my NVIDIA graphic card with the latest driver. I also downloaded MS Vista patches for NVIDIA crashes using Vista. Can anyone help me resolve this very frustrating problem? Because of this I can't play multiplayer matches and since the game does not have a scenario on top of the fact that I am unable to host online games... I am rapidly losing faith here!!! The sad thing about this situation is I really love the game and I desperatly want to be able to enjoy online matches for once.

Does this happen in other games?

No it does not! Only in Sins and I also just noticed that this happens in Single Player also! So, basicly I can't play the game.

this sounds like the vista problem which many have had (incl me). A possible solution is pinned in the technical board.

Vista Nvidia Driver problem.The monitor isnt going to sleep its just a driver thats restarting and dying every 5 seconds or so,causing the screen to go blank,if you alt tab you will see the driver error.You may have to download a hotfix from Microsoft to fix the problem.
