thanks,

but this didnt help ^^ btw i have the same problem without entranchment, just with 1.12

if it helps the minidump reads:

...sins dump\sins-entrenchment beta 1.1-2008-12-19-14-20-02-2200-3944.dmp

and the application error

offset 00001ba2

Redownloading the whole game again is annoying, since I get only 50kbytes/s downspeed here in middle Europe

I usually sync the whole game folder to another drive before updating.

If anyone else has this problem:

i just redownloaded and reinstalled and (since four is the lucky time ^^) this time it worked

the only thing i did differently from the three times before is

once sins was finished downloading (while it was veryfying it) o went offline and shiut down my firewall

it installed i tried to start it and it worked

the i started my firewall again downloaded entrenchment and while it was veryfing i went again offline and shut down the firewall and almost magically (^^) it worked too.

thanks to anyone who helped along the way and hope this helps you if you encounter the same problem

now off playing some sins, finally ^^
