No words.

May 26, 2008 11:12:54 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
So after formatting my computer I reinstalled all the drivers and updated everything I could. After the game loads, and the main menu is up, there are no words. The symbols are there but not the words, if i click on one of the menu option, the next screen has no options as well. There are highlighted areas, and i can click around but i have no idea what i'm choosing. I haven't started a game so I don't know what is affected in game. Either way. I'm going to update to service pack 3, and reinstall the game hopefully it works. BTW this happened before I updated to 1.05 from 1.00.

ok so I have updated to service pack 3, along with reinstalling sins with the newest update. Still the same problem. I have no Idea what else to do.

PS when I changed the settings to have the highest resolution, for a split second the words were visible after the change took hold. So I know they are there but for some reason they are under the background.

Here is a pick

What video driver are you using? Maybe try to roll back to an earlier version, or if you're not using the latest driver, then install it and see if that helps.

You're not launching through XFire or Steam are you?

Because its not formated for steam, nor will it ever be unless Stardock is bought by another company that decides to sell sins through steam.
