cant even play

December 22, 2008 10:55:58 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

i bought this game the other day and it crashed when i tried to do the tutorial the first time i played. I figured it was old graphics drivers, but even then it still crashed. I was able to play one game for over two hours, but i havent be able to play since then. It crashes in such a way that it just freezes everything and does nothing. I cant get a dump to put up or anything because for that fact. I meet the minimum requirements so i dont know whats the problem. When it freezes i have to manually restart it. Also it will crash at random times. If anyone can help me id really appreciate it because i really want to play this game. thanks in advance.

Is this version 1.12 that's crashing? If you haven't updated to 1.12, grab Impulse (http://www.impulsedriven.com) and register your game to download the update. There were a lot of tweaks and fixes between 1.0 and 1.12, so it may resolve your issues.

If not, you'll probably have to talk to [email protected].

no the computer completely freezes. i cant alt f4, alt tab, crtl alt delete, or anything out of it. it will just completly lock up on me until i manually restart it. I dont understand why though because it worked for 2 hour once without any problems. i think it has to do when it is loading somehing, im not sure though. I dont think its my computer either because every other game runs fine.

Alright, well, toss an email to Ironclad support and include your dxdiag and maybe a link to this thread because the obvious stuff is out of the way so it might save some time.
