Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity crash

from Sins Forums

Hi,

I bought Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity a couple of hours ago on steam and I started downloaden and installing it. But when I hit the play button there comes a black screen and after that I get a message Minidump. I have been searching trough the internet and I didn't find the sollution.

My system spec are:

- OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

- CPU: INTEL i7 2720qm

- GPU: Nvidia GTX 260M

- RAM: 8 GB

- Hard Drive: 455 GB

 

I hope anyone can help me.

Try launching the game from the Trinity/Diplomacy.exe itself, not through steam. That seems to work better for some people.

It worked, but I want to play it with steam ingame that's why I bought it on steam.

You really have to contact either Stardock or Valve, not sure which would be responsible for incompatibility problems. But at least you can play the game for now.

Where do I contact them? And thanks for your help.

Since the game runs from the executable I'd look closer at Steam support.

My game crashes too, only it crashes about 10 minutes into any game that I start. There's also a black square that glitches around my mouse cursor when I move the mouse. The game runs alright for a few minutes once I start, but about 5 minutes in the screen flashes black briefly, and then ten minutes in I hear a noise like a desktop error and my game crashes and a window says "Sins of a Solar Empire:Diplomacy has stopped working." Does anyone know what's going on? It's not a graphics issue, so I'm guessing it must be a seperate program or is this just a notorious memory dump? I have SOSE: Trinity v1.37

Sounds like a video driver issue. Check that you've got the latest Intel video drivers for your system.

For the OP, restart steam by using the "run as administrator"...sometimes this helps people who can't run it through steam but can run the game straight from it's own exe...
