Ryzen 9 3900x Upgrade

Endless Blue Loading Circle

from Sins Forums

I recently upgraded my PC to the Ryzen 9 3900x with an ASUS x570 Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi and G Skill Trident RGB 16GBx2 RAM. My GPU and storage all stayed the same. However, with those 3 new components, SIns won't launch anymore, with or without mods. The dev executable launches fine with no issues. I've tried validating files, resetting the graphic and video settings and closing all background apps associate with my new setup. I have the latest drivers for my 1080 ti, latest BIOS updates, and all other firmware and drivers for my components. I had zero issues with Sins prior to this upgrade. The only software I haven't removed is the AMD Ryzen Master software.

But anytime I tried to launch Sins, the UI pops up from Stardock and then after I click launch I get a continuously spinning blue loading wheel that only goes away if I sign out of Windows. But I have no issues with the dev executable starting or exiting. It boots up as though nothing was wrong and I am able to change the graphic and video settings as I had them previously.

 

PLEASE HELP

SOLVED! Hopefully this might help anyone else having this issue. I went to where the games executable file is in Steam, in my case "Y:\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion" and right clicked on the main .exe file. I then went to the compatibility tab and clicked disable full screen optimization and have had no trouble running the game since.

 

Here is also a thread on Steam that is related to this issue and someone created a .bat file to help them with their fullscreen issue as well.

 

Best of luck!
