Game is unplayable

from Sins Forums

Hi, if anyone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated. I play my games on a widescreen TV, so I thought it would be a good idea to go into the settings of the game (Instructions at http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/sins-solar-empire) to change the resolution. When I start up the game, the intro movie doesn't load. The forum said that if this happens you simply have to press the escape key three times, but if i press anything even once, then my game shuts down and I get a Microsoft error report. Please help as I am desperate to play this game!

Reload the game from scratch maybe? As far as I know (and I have my comp set on a widescreen TV as well) Sins is already widescreen compatible. There should be no need to mess with the files.

What version are you running?

I think I'm running v 1.03, though I'm not sure. And the reason I messed about with the files is because although it does have widescreen support, if I change it to any of the sizes in the options menu, then it's either too small or too big.

Try editing the file some more. Specifically, I'd try windowed mode.
