Win7 64-bit "Sins of a Solar Empire has stopped working."

No mini-dump, log empty

April 2, 2011 4:34:45 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

 

Its been a couple months since i last played but now i can't play. On launch, i get the windows error box that says: "Sins of a Solar Empire has stopped working. Windows will now close the application." This happens for Entrenchment and Diplomacy as well. There is no mini-dump and when i turned on logging, the log file was always empty.

My system is an EVGA 790i Ultra with E8400 Intel CPU. 8 GB of RAM and an EVGA GTX295. Win7 64bit is fully updated, drivers are all updated, Impulse is updated, Sins is updated. My anti-v, ESET, is fully updated and the system has been scanned, and i have tried running Sins without the anti-v on with the same results.

Have i missed anything? Any suggestions? Or should i just give up on Stardock?

Have you tried "run as an administrator"?

Tried the repair critical files option in impulse?

Tried reinstalling sins from impulse from scratch?

I will contact Stardock but honestly, i have had better response times from wasted frat boys. And more useful results. As for the other comments, Win7 is the best Micro$haft OS i have seen and that include DOS 6.22. As for porn, they should forward that to the Sins of a Solar Empire art department.

Thanks for the response and help, Pbhead. I appreciate the attempt.
