The issue I am suffering from is based on the Steam downloaded version of Trinity. I first launched trinity, and it ran about 5 minutes at a black screen, then I killed it and restarted. Nest, I launched it and it ran ten minutes at the black screen, and I alt-tabbed out and got a minidump. Same happened on the Entrenchment expansion and the base game itself. From what I've seen, most of the issues come from either bad files (verified install) or mods (none installed). So I have no clue what problem is going on, unless it's alt-tabbing during loading, but I'm absolutely sure that Sins doesn't take that long to load, since I've played it before on a different rig without problems. Thank you, Squire Zed.
