Entrenchment install complete, game now runs. Likely cause of error: install of Entrenchment prior to upgrade to 1.12. Not confirmed but I'll be darned if I want to waste another couple of hours seeing if I can replicate the problem! If anyone else has a similar issue, please try the following: -Upgrade all sound and graphics drivers -Update DirectX to latest version -Full uninstall of SOASE -Full reinstall of SOASE -Patch to 1.12 (or la

Upgrade to 1.12 complete, game launch via Impulse successful. Game launch via Start menu successful. Game launch via desktop shortcut successful. Will now reinstall Entrenchment and have a look for the error again.
Update graphics drivers to 181.20. No dice. Changed windows display settings to 'best performance' (no icon shadows, transparency effects, fadeouts on desktop etc). No dice. Now running SOASE update to 1.12 from 1.00 via Impulse. Hopes are high but time will tell. In the meantime I'm getting a nice little collection of minidump files...
Full uninstall via Control Panel -> Add/remove software. Full reinstall from disc complete. Game still crashes on startup with minidump. Hmmm.
Entrenchment uninstalled via Control Panel -> Add/remove software. Repair done from install disc menu. Game now crashes on startup, with a minidump. Will now try full uninstall/reinstall.
Hi all, I prepurchased Entrenchment and installed it via Impulse. I then updated the game to the latest version. After doing this, Sins was crashing on launch with a minidump. After reading some other threads on possible causes/issues, I updated my graphics & sound drivers and reinstalled the latest copy of DX10. Now when I try to start the game I get a black screen, which minimises, then a 'Sins has encountered an error and needs to close' message, but no minidump. <
