No Menu/In-Game Text

from Sins Forums
I'm running Windows Vista with a GeForce 8800 GTS and my copy of Sins is 1.1

My problem is a total lack of text - there's no words next to the icons on the main menus, nor is there any once I start a game. Help!

Try rebooting.

I've fixed the problem. It was caused by running it through Steam. In Sins' current state, simply click on the desktop icon instead of adding it to Steam's game list.

Yeah, Sins won't work through Steam.

If you open Steam and click 'Add a non-Steam game' you can add a shortcut to Steam's game list. I run all my games like this - apart from Sins :p

Because Steam doesn't let you set the working directory for games = fail. :P
