It seems like LAA (Large Address Aware) is not properly activated.

Regards

The mod isn't activated or deactivated from the in-game menu, but from the EnabledMods.txt file in your mods folder.

You can enable the mod by accessing the EnabledMods.txt file located in your Mods-Rebellion v1.85 folder, which is typically located here:

C:\Users\USER\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85

Open the file called EnabledMods.txt. It should hold the following text:

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 1
enabledModName "star-trek-armada-3"

To disable the mod, change the enabled mod count to 0. The text should now read as follows:

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 0
enabledModName "star-trek-armada-3"

Save and exit.

Regards, Atlanta out.

LAA is not properly applied.
Look 7 answers above your question and read my full post of July 7th.

Specially where it says:
"The relevant file is simply called 'Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion'. This is your Sins.exe. Right click, go into Properties and ensure that the .exe is NOT set to Read Only."

Regards

Only "Star Trek Armada 3: Sins 1.85 Update Full Version" is needed if your Sins is updated to 1.85

That is the last update of the Star Trek mod.

No... not a stupid question.
It's better when people asks how to do something correctly than keeping always asking why the hell this mod is not working or experiencing ingame errors... because they not read nor follow instructions ;)

Would be good if you do a fresh install of the mod, yes.

That means delete the entire Armada 3 mod folder, saved games, etc.
Then follow step by step the STA3 CTA Install Instructions.pdf (located inside the downloaded STA3_1.5.6.zip).

Regards.

You can find a PDF file inside the downloaded zip called: STA3 CTA Install Instructions
Read it, follow the instructions step by step and you will not have problem.

Just in case you don't know how to apply the LAA or messed up with your installation, take a look of this (with permission of OrionSlaver):

"Most likely you're experiencing the extremely common problem of not having LAA applied.

Sins is an old game that only utilises a maximum of 2GB of RAM. The Armada 3 mod adds a significant amount of content and requires more than 2GB of RAM to run. Whenever it passes the 2GB limit (usually after 15-20 minutes of gameplay) the game's engine can't handle it and crashes.

This is fixed with Large Address Aware, which allows Sins to break the 2GB boundary.

First, find your Sins.exe, located by default here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sins of a solar empire rebellion

The relevant file is simply called 'Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion'. This is your Sins.exe. Right click, go into Properties and ensure that the .exe is NOT set to Read Only.

Then go to wherever you're keeping your CTA files and open the program called Large Address Aware.

Browse and select your Sins.exe mentioned above. Tick the box indicating that yes, you want the game to access more than 2GB of memory, and click 'Save'.

Start the game.

The whole process should take you roughly two minutes."

That "application" is the executable file (.exe) and your explorer will show to you just as "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion" and that is the right file for apply the LAA.
Not the "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev", just "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion".

Anyway, be sure that file is not marked as "read only" under properties and run the LAA as administrator or you will have the same trouble ;)

I'll copy/paste this old and useful post for you read:

Same answer as above.

Tried a fresh install of the mod?

No virus in this mod.

I tried just now to download the file again and it barely takes 40 minutes...

Glad to know ;)

CTA = Call To Arms.

That's the mod for the Sins of a Solar Empire and the latest released version is 1.3, allowing you to full transform it in a Star Trek game.
Developers are working on a new release that will be called The Final Frontier (or TFF), adding new features and fixing some others.

The latest CTA can be found and downloaded from here:
Moddb.com

Maybe corrupt files?

This mod doesn't work on 1.83 version.

Ehmmm... ^^
My pc is pretty old and weak too but I can play without any trouble just reducing a bit some graphic options to mid (like level of details of planets or buildings) and my specs are:
AMD Athlon dual core 2.40 GHz
GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB VRAM
6 GB RAM DDR2
O.S. Windows 10 Pro 64 bits

I guess.. his only handicap is the installed RAM to be able to play decently.

As Ambarenya (and others) said... not working on GOG version atm:

"The current situation with GOG's release really complicates matters in regards to Armada III because in their infinite wisdom, they basically released an unofficial version of the game, which causes quite a few problems on the modding side of things. Essentially, if we choose to patch now, any subsequent changes made to the base game will require us to repatch again when 1.83 is officially released. Worse yet, this complication comes at a transition period for our dev team, when we're trying to construct The Final Frontier (and I'm very tempted to say just hold off until we do that). I don't really know yet the extent to which we will have to patch the existing AIII content, but it could potentially be a daunting endeavor."

So... It will be fixed when 1.83 is officially released.

That CRC-Error means your download is corrupted (maybe due a bad connection while downloading).
The only way to fix that is... re-download and cross your fingers.
Don't despair and insist or download from another mirror.

I already know you are not a rookie ^_^
My computer is pretty old too and it can handle this game with no problems...
Maybe corrupt files? I just can think on that atm.

Regards.

Did you applied LAA as administrator? It's a common mistake too ;)
