Comodo Firewall prevents Sins from starting

from Sins Forums

As the title says, I tracked down a bug where with my firewall on Sins won't start, it locks up my PC on the black screen before the opening movies play. I reinstalled a few times, rebooted tons, tried everything, and finally I shut off my firewall and it ran fine. I think this is a bug that needs to be looked at, I won't switch to another firewall because Comodo is freeware.

I do know the problem might be firewall privelages detection, because the FirewallInstall program in the Sins directory tells me it fails to add program to exceptions each time I try it. Should be a farily quick fix for Ironclad I hope.

Have you tried putting your Firewall Security Level/Defense+ Security Level to Training Mode?  I run Comodo as well and have not had this problem.

Yup, i have the same firewall and if it's in Training Mode it should be fine, as it learns what does what.

If it fails to load, you can see if you can install it on a friend's pc and copy over the program safe list, then contact Comodo and ask where those files are stored...so you can copy them over to your main PC.  Just a thought.

 

I drank a beer for every planet i took  last night vs 3 hard AI, and ended up drinking 14 beers in about an hour.  Got a little hangover (still recovering from the one this weekend...stupid tequila).
