Un-installed both games after closing app

from Sins Forums

Hey guys,

here's a hopeful good one for you to figure out.  I got Entrenchment installed and opened the game through Impulse.  Normally I don't run games through Impulse, I just start the game with the .exe file.

Played the game for about an hour.  Minimized the game app and left it running.  While it was running in a minimized state, I closed Impulse.  Then I closed the game app about 1/2 hour later.

Couple of hours later, I opened Impulse and both the Entrenchment and the original Sins games were un-installed and showed that they were available for install.  I tried to start both through Impulse and through the .exe and got an error statement about fmod.dll not found.  Had to re-install both games completely again.

Don't know if it had anything to do closing Impulse down why the game was still running after I had it started through Impulse or not, but thought that I'd let you know anyways.

It would certainly sound like something eslse broke somewhere, as games can't uninstall themselves. Were all the files still present after Impulse reported them gone?

Haven't had any problems with this since I re-installed both games.  Have played it a few different times and it loads and plays fine now.  Now others crashed either.
