All my faction icons are squares

from Sins Forums

I tried to play a small map tonight and all my faction icons over my ships and planets etc are all colored squares.  Even in the faction selection screen where you pick what faction to play as, they're all colored squares.  It's wicked annoying when I'm trying to see my ships on the map.  Does anyone know what to do about this?  I searched and didn't find anything pertinent.  THanks.

Graphics drivers up to date? Messed with the settings?

All I did was increase the resolution.  But I changed it back with no difference.

 

Yes, drivers are up to date.

Odd error. I'd suggest reinstall, making sure antivirus and similar aren't interfering.

Before you reinstall, go to your Textures folder in the Sins install path and check the RaceLogos.tga. It should look about like this:

You might have a slightly different background color. If it looks right but you get that in-game, there's something funky going on..

Thanks.  I ended up reinstalling anyway since I wasn't getting many responses and I wanted to play.  It all works now.  Thanks.
