In order, I tried:
- clean install of my graphic driver (NVidia)
- I don't have any save game, so I couldn't convert the data for 1.86
- I couldn't re-install redistribuable Files, as I do not have any _CommonRedist folder in my game folder
- the Sins_remove_bin.bat says "the Rebellion license file was not found"
- there is NO \Ironclad Games folder in my %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\; when I create the folder, and extract what the zip given on your forum into it, I find: achievementd.achievements, diplomacy.camera.setting; diplomacy.uimappings.setting, and diplomacy.user.setting. Is it normal as I (try to) play Rebellion ?
- delete %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games can't work as I don't have this folder
- mods: I don't use any mods
- reverting current patch: I tried three other betas, none made the game work
- I tried to launch the strdocklauncher, the Rebellion.exe, and the RebellionDev.exe as an administrator (even Steams runs as administrator), didn't work
- couldn't put the C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Setting in VideoIsWindowed TRUE cause I do not have this folder. (I tried with the Diplomacy setting files when I unzipped them, didn't work)
- Running the Dev.exe don't work, sometimes it even says "couldn't launch steam" or something like that.
- I tried desabling my antivirus (not McAfee), didn't work
- I tried "the Purge" several times, didn't work
Thanks for your help !
