Crash on startup with patch 1.03

from Sins Forums
The game now crashes on startup and I get a minidump error.  Patch 1.02 worked without a hitch.  I even reinstalled, unpatched worked, 1.02 worked, 1.03 crashed.

Using a mod set to load on startup, by chance?

Nope Backed up mods and deleted everything and reinstalled.

aye, I've got exactly the same problem I've sent a dxdiag + minidump to ironclad. I still don't understand why 1.02 works and 1.03. I've updated all my sound and graphics drivers. Anyone worked out a solution to this?

Same problem, no solution... Particularly odd, since it had been working with 1.03 for some time, but after it crashed in a game the other night, it will no longer even start.

Same here, I disabled a mod the other day, the game froze and then I ended the task, I try and restart, nothing, so I try the repair option, that fails, so I try uninstall and reinstall, that fails. It turns on, I get a black screen for a while like it's loading and it either stays in the black screen or returns to desk top.

Very strange.  As long as you sent in the minidump file, a dxdiag for your machine and a save game of the issue (where applicable), we'll look into it.

Everything is fine now after completely deleting the folders and reinstalling and re-patching, something seems to have corrupted some files before that.
