Rebellion Does Not Run Correctly

November 22, 2018 11:04:13 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey guys,

So an interesting bug...I installed Sin's via Steam and ran no problem. Upon exiting out and relaunching it does not run right. Let me explain:

 

I open the Rebellion launcher and click to launch Rebellion. I get the splash loading screen with the Rebellion logo. Then I hear the intro movie playing, but the screen is black. I press enter in order to skip the intro movie and then the audio ceases. I noticed after alt-tabbing a bunch that I will eventually get the main menu to pop up. When I attempt to interact with the menu the screen goes black again. This issue is persistent. 

Please help.

Kind of sounds like a graphics driver thing with all that unpredictability. I know its generic advice but maybe check if you can update them?

Drivers are not the issue. Thanks for the suggestion though.

@Tatoria Thanks so much! 

@Yarlen I am using 1920x1080

Edit:
I'd like to mention that it was displaying and running correctly upon the initial install. It was when I quit the game and relaunched that this issue occurred.

Use the FAQ here to try running the game 'Windowed'

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/486714/sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion-support-faq

Running the game windowed:

Try navigating to this directory: C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Setting

Then open the rebellion.user.setting file and set this option:

VideoIsWindowed TRUE

If you're refresh rate is higher than 60Hz, try dropping it down.
