Odd Vista Crashes. in Technical Sins Forums

Im running the latest version of both SINS and Entrenchment, but whenever I go into the options screen it crashes and saves a mini-dump. It will also do this if I attempt to start a new game. It will go to the loading screen then dump and quit. I have Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP1, Dual 9800 GTMs, 4GB of RAM. I have been able to run SINS and Entrenchment before, just haven't tried for a while.

I don't know how hard it would be to code this, but how about having mercenary units available for hire? Pay them a base per turn fee, and increase the fee if the unit becomes damaged. Increase ALL mercenary fees if a merc dies. If you can't pay them hard cash, (if your treasury would go into the red at the begining of your next turn) you have to select mercs to dismiss. As an additional feature have the pri
