First of, get the patches for Sin, the latest version is 1.10. These will fix the various problems that had plagued Sin since initial release. You can download the patches, 1.01, to 1.10 from Ritualistic. You should also get the Redemption bot as well.

Second, get the latest drivers for your video card, 3dfx users will need the latest minigl release also to allow for higher resolutions in the game.

As mentioned further down below these tweaks can be used for Sin, Wages of Sin and SinCTF, although it has been most thoroughly tested in the original game itself.
