Hi. I'm trying to get the SiN game (patched to v1.11) to work and first thing I see when I start the game is crazy colors. So I went to change the video driver to "default opengl" and the game crashed as soon as I select "apply changes"

I also tried playing Steam Sin as an alternative, but it just gives me a "buffer overrun" error as soon as I start the game 😢

can anyone help out?

Did you try setting the extension limit option to ON in your nVidia driver settings and then changing the game to "default opengl"?

I don't even have extention limit in my nvidia control panel. I think they removed it in recent drivers. I have v260.99

People are using a different utility called nVidia Inspector as a replacement for nHancer; maybe this will help: http://www.giantbomb.com/pc/60-94/nvidia-insp … ofit/35-467728/

ok. in Inspector, is there anything else I need to do besides choosing the sin:epsiodes profile (for Steam sin) and clicking on "Apply", because it's not working. I'm still getting the buffer underrun error.

SiN Episodes is a later game. If you're trying to run the original it may need a different profile.

I have both versions. I just want to play this game again....but looks like it won't be happening.

...anyone has a profile for non-steam SiN?

going back to an earlier driver is your only solution
