Sins won't play after latest update

February 24, 2009 8:47:50 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just updated my Sins of a Solar Empire, and now I get a Runtime Error every time I try to play it.  I was playing it just before the update, but now it won't work. I don't have Entrenchment, and I had planned to get it, but if I can't play the game, there's no point.

I had the same problem too. Uninstalled the game and re-installed it just to play. Got new update about 5 minutes ago. Hope it works.

You may need to manually remove the game folder, and delete 2 Registry Keys before you'll be able to re-install.

Go to C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire (or where ever you installed the game) and delete the main folder.

Then launch the System Registry (Start-> run, and type regedit)
Look for and delete the following Keys;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sinsentrench

For Vista 64 bit;
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sins
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sinsentrench

Then, reboot your PC and go back to Impulse and try installing the base game. Make sure it installs to 1.13 version, test it out before then installing entrenchment.
