Unable to play the game

Game won't start

I have just installed the game, but for some reason can not play it.  I click on the button to start the game, but button screen fades out but then nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?

Have you uninstalled the demo?

Have you updated your drivers?

What are your specs?

If you try from the .exe in the install directory, what happens?

Never had the demo installed to begin with.

Drivers have been updated.

When I run the .exe from the directory, nothing happens.

I'm running a Pentium 4 with 2gigs of Ram.

From the manufacturer's website?

How about your video card?

Do you get any kind of error? Has this happened to you before?

Not even a quick black screen which then closes? Very odd. Definitely contact [email protected] about this.

I just installed also.  Cannot play.  Never had demo.  ERROR:  failed to start because faultrep.DLL was not found.

P4, 3.2 ghz cpu, 2.5 gb ram, ati hd 4800 video card

Any suggestions?  Thanks

I just did a quick google in your problem, and found this thread on the Gamespot forums concerning the same DLL and UT3:

It appears that you can just download the DLL (link is in the thread) and put it in the installation folder for Sins and it should work. I'm not sure why the installer would miss it.

If that fails, you can download Impulse (http://www.impulsedriven.com), register the serial # for Sins, and download the game through it. Different install process and all ;)
