You need to see how this one ends!

SiN Gold, a classic first-person shooter with an original futuristic story of fight against an artificial outburst of criminal tendencies, and one of the best level designs of the 1990s, coming complete with the Wages of Sin expansion, is available for only $9.99 on GOG.com.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/sin_gold][/url]SiN Gold is one of the great and memorable first-person shooters of the olden days. Upon release it was highly praised for the great execution of its original and involving storyline and great level design, but sadly, it suffered from long loading times and pesky glitches. The fact that the patch fixing these problems was over 30MB in size in the times of Dial-Up Internet didn't help as well. That is how a game that deserves a prominent place in gaming's all-time hall of fame ended up slightly forgotten and overlooked by many FPS fans. With all the trouble way in the past, it is now time to get acquainted (or reunited) with this fantastic title! You can explore different puzzles and new routes each time you play. You will hack computer terminals, control security cameras, and wreak havoc. You will encounter new dangers and intelligent beings in every mission as you fight your way to the ultimate showdown! And you better believe it, an ultimate showdown it will be. The game comes complete with the Wages of Sin expansion.

Begin your crusade against crime and bring down the sinister syndicate lead by the beautiful but deadly Elexis Sinclaire in SiN Gold, for only $9.99 on GOG.com!

Strife: Beware, I just try to launch the game and his addons but I've only a black screen .
I can hear the sound of menu selection but nothing can be done.

JudasIscariot: Write to Support when things like this happen, thanks :)
Hi JudasIscariot, the issue described by Strife here seems to be related to an old version of nglide that is bundled with the game. Any reason why nglide 0.99 is bundled with the game instead of nglide 1.02, the latest version?

As for the issue itself, from what I've read in the forums it looks like it might be a gamma setting issue as some users have reported that changing the gamma setting on the provided nglide does make the display visible. My guess is that those who installed nglide 1.02 ended up with the settings be reset to default nglide settings anyway, and so that is what actually resolved it. But still, why not the latest version?

I am not sure as I don't deal with the games on a technical level. I'd recommend writing to Support on that one. Sorry if I can't be of anymore help :/

I don't have the game yet, though. I've been waiting to see if you guys will update it first. Can I even post a support request for a game I don't have?

RafaelLopez: But the dude is nowhere to be seen here on GOG, not on the cover, or the background image, or the screenshots.

JudasIscariot: Rafael, I am sorry, but YOU are the dude...
At last I'm the protagonist here!

Got a response from Natalia saying that the product team has been informed and hopefully the game will be fixed soon. So whether that will be a fixed nglide 0.99 gamma setting or the latest nglide 1.02 provided instead we will have to wait and see, but it looks like it'll be looked into anyway. :)

I always find it incredibly weird when people apply 'bro' to women. I mean, seriously? It's stupid enough of an expression as is, but in this kind of case it's just downright ridiculous. //rant =P

Does that mean that nglide is supported in this release? That's something that should have been in the game card. Assuming I didn't miss it. I remember sin was an early user of colored lighting.

IMO GOG should start being much more open in general about what products they use to make games compatible. They have a 30-day money-back guarantee now, so they shouldn't be "scared" of losing a few more bucks over people taken aback by forum complaints (if a link to each game forum is put on the gamecard), or people "offended" by the use of DOS versions of games, etc. It would really help to grow their reputation, imo.

I played through Sin and Wages of Sin and really the only problem I seem to have was a bit of a slowdown whenever lighting effects took place.
With regards to shooting portions it usually just meant that I had to step up my game so that the baddies couldn't fire their guns and create the slowdown.
Where it really got annoying was flashing emergency lights and one level in some science labs near the end of the game, but those weren't too much trouble.
