Entrenchment ruined my sins :(

December 17, 2008 6:33:16 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

So.... i got the beta today, downloaded it, installed it,

and decided to play it, and all i get is the wonderful black screen of death

so i decide to see whats holding it up, and in the task manager it says its not responding

i try it again and i get the same problem

Ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times, Sins works fine without Entrenchment, but once Entenchment is installed it ruins it and i just get a black screen.

Ive got Vista 64bit

Any one know what im doing wrong?

wait longer or get more RAM with VIST I HAVE to be using a thumb drive with 4 gigs and READYBOOST to extend my ram and even THEN It will say not responding for up to 45 seconds.

Try removing any mods you have installed from the original sins.

And make sure you had version 1.12 installed of Sins, or Entrenchment won't work.

stated this in a simular post, if you have zone alarm running it will interfer with it and create this problem. turn that off and try.

you need to turn off the default loading of mods if you have a mod installed.
