Purchased Rebellion on Steam, Won't Run

from Sins Forums

I purchased Rebellion through Steam the other day, and I'm having trouble getting the game to run. I click launch in Steam and... nothing. No error messages, no screen flicker, nothing. If I watch in the task manager, I can sometimes catch a new process start but it dies again almost immediately. I assume it's Sins. 

My graphics drivers are up to date. I don't have any other ideas. 

Win7-32

Radeon HD 4800

I would contact [email protected] and see if they can help. Usually they are very helpful.

This has worked for a lot of random first start issues. Try searching your computer for "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev.exe". Run that, if its any sort of settings issue that should solve it.

The dev exe does the same thing as a normal launch. I'll run the log tool and send the results to support. Thanks for the ideas.
