Thanks! Basically that means I won't be buying Sins. Funny enough, I bet because it can't handle the graphics that the frame rate is great and it plays just fine on this machine, besides that one little problem of no graphics. It's still perfectly playable, just less enjoyable when you can't see anything going on.

Apparently there's some background I'm missing too. For your info, when I zoom in with cinematic mode turned on, all I see is a black screen because the icons are gone. When I have cinematic mode off, I can still see the grid and such. But there's no spacey background or any ships, planets, etc. when I have cinematic mode on, unless I have my mouse over something, and then it's still just the icon.
I am playing the demo and I can play the game perfectly fine except for not being able to see ships or planets unless I'm zoomed out enough for them to be icons only. i.e. when I zoom in close to a planet I can't see it, but when I'm zoomed out I can see the planets and stars just fine. But I can never see the ships, outside the icons. I wonder if it's just a settings thing or what?
Why is this not answered? I'm having the same problem... well, I think it's the same. Only I can see the icons and such, I just can't see the actual ships and planets.
