Runtime Error

Runtime Error

Hi,
strangest thing happened. Played Sins since :) release now and this evening, all of a sudden i got a Visual C++ Runtime error when trying to start the game. Did not change a thing.
Ideas?

Well like ive said earlier...setting high instead of highest has given me 0 runtime errors.....go figure.... We need a patch to recitfy this of course. The problem is obviously with sins and the nvidia drivers as i get a notification (non show stopping though) that something has happened with my nvidia drivers.

My problem is that I am running this on a laptop, without access to nvidia's normal driver database. All my nvidia drivers have to come through HP.

Try laptopvideo2go.com then -- nVidia's drivers work on laptops just fine in most cases, they just don't add support for them in the installers (the laptopvideo2go guys fix that).

I should probably say that I am running this on an XP machine with an ATI card. The 1300 I believe. The BETA has run flawlessly on it.

This only just occurred after updating to the latest released version.


I'd be more than happy to provide a DXDiag report or whatever else is needed to help track this down.

Runtime error with every game I've played thus far. If I could return the game and get my money back, I would. This is just shoddy work.

Any progress on this issue?

Has anyone had any luck trying anything else?

Is there anything I can do from this end?

Anyone . . . anyone . . . . Bueller?

UPDATE: It's Working!

I uninstalled again. And this time noticed that there was a Sins directory still on the drive. I deleted that. I also checked the registry for any Sins entries. Made sure they were all gone.

Started Stardock, redownloaded the 1.3 version, it installed and wahlah. Back to gaming.

Not sure if a fix for the runtime error was included or this was supposed to be self correcting with the new version, but it works now.

Thanks!
