Mini dump Error

June 28, 2013 11:32:43 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

So I really enjoy this game. I play with my friends and its a good time. I keep getting this mini-dump error. Its quite possibly the most frustrating things I've ever encountered. I've scoured the internet for solutions and tried a bunch all with to no avail. I'm not angry or raging, I just want to play the game when I want, instead of sacrificing a chicken to the unmerciful gaming gods so they let me play my game. I don't use mods, and I'm not super tech sav.

The way it happens for me is I click the icon to play game starts to load (I get black screen) then boom mini dump error. Ive tried reinstalling, back doors, Ive tried verifying the game cache but it says 1 file failed to validate and will be required, but I guess it never does? I've zipped up my error sent it to tech support but I've been waiting 2 weeks on that. I've read that I could try a third party installer but I have no clue where I would get that?

 

My rig.

GeForce GTX 660

Intel(R) core (TM) i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHz

7.98 GB Ram

windows 7

 

Please help. like I said I just want to play this game. Let me know if i can help you help me in any way shape or form.

Thank you

technical

Ignore that...you will always fail to validate at least 1 file, it's a file related to the installer or something and has been confirmed by the devs to be a meaningless error....

When you did a clean install, did you delete all your Sin's settings?  These are the things in My Documents...try deleting those after removing the local content, then reinstall sins....

What driver version do you have for your NVidia?  I'm at v320.18 for a GTX 660M (non mobile ones use same drivers) and don't have this problem....

Thank you for trying to help me out, sorry for getting back to you so late brother had his wedding this weekend, When i deleted and reinstalled i have searched through entire computer and deleted everything. I also have my drivers completely up to date. We have the same update. Thank you for letting me know about the validation so i can close that option off. Now you see what boat Im in, anything else you can think of haha?
