Actually, it seems that I have more crashes with 2.5 than with 2.0, at least during the game (2 in one game so far).  I had my 2.0 crashes trying to load/save/exit.  Am going to reduce textures to see if that helps.  Minidumps winging their way to support.

Hey pek! Long time, again

That's odd, though. For me it's a huge improvement. I was crashing at random places on medium settings in 2.0, cranked it back up to highest in 2.5 and it's very smooth.

I was crashing in 2.0 with all settings on high...played on 2.5 last night with all settings to high for about 3 or so hours and no crashes

Been working, it interferes with real life, damnit.  Sick today, so I thought I'd get some game time in.  Maybe I'm playing this one more than 2.0, but I don't know.  2.5 IS faster, no doubt, but I just got another crash in this game after turning down the details to medium (been able to run all on highest setting since we've been testing sins, oh, so long ago).  Going to start from scratch and see what's happening.

I got crashes half hour into game in 2.0 and sometimes got screen artifacts/major slowdowns in combat (even with very small number of units).

In 2.5 I play as long as I want with perfect frame rate and maxed settings no matter what. Yahay!

Don't know if this is where I should let it be known, but I keep running into a 100% thus far, consistent minidump crash.  It occurs on the "Gateway" Scenario, against 5 Hard AI.  Occuring after a coordinated attack with an AI ally is over and the AI begins sending their fleet to other locations.  I've got oddball minidumps before, but they never really happen often enough to worry about until this one in particular.  Entrenchment rocks by the way, especially considering it's not a final version, though you could probably fool 90% of the market.

[Entrenchment Beta 2.5]

PC specs if it helps

ABIT KN9SLI Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 4200+ (No overclocking, 2.2GHZ)

4GB PC6400 DDR2 RAM Corsair XMS series.  32bit OS so only 3.5GB register.

Geforce 8600GT

Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP2

 

Game Settings: Planet Detail: Highest, Ship(All): High.  Building(All): Highest.

Nothing spectacular by today's standards:

Intel Core2Duo 1.86ghz
2gb ram on Vista 32 (sigh..)
Geforce 8800gtx

I run at 1600x1200 with everything on highest and Bloom disabled.

I played a five hour game last night (that isn't even showing signs of ending anytime soon) with all settings on max, with no performance problems, even though i got a bit mine spam happy on few planets. On 2.0 the game crashed after a few minutes with max settings, and the game also feels faster, so it's a huge improvement 

BTW, PLEASE remove "constuction complete" soundclip from mines.

I read earlier in this post that "philc85" hadn't been able to run 2.5. Well I am having the same problem. After first trying to run the game after downloading it would just stop running and windows would say it has encountered a problem.

I thought oh well somethings gone wrong, maybee it was just because I forgot to delete the saves, I'll just uninstall and start off fresh. This worked with the last update, well this time it did'nt. But at least this time it gave me minidump so I sent that to support@ironcladgames.com with the CD number and system specs. I also read that Annatar said it was a stardock issue. Can you please tell me do we send them the dump file and where exactly do we send it.

Another thing. I noticed before I was downloading the update from Impulse it said that the the update was 298MB. But when was downloading the update it only downloaded 94.59MB an then said it was installed at 298 MB. Could this be part of the problem I'm having?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone have an issue where you minimize the game to do something else quickly then when you restore it  so to speak the game just stops?

Ok! I've got it work out now. Apollogies to anyone who's spent time looking into this. It would seem that I've been a bit of a dumbo. After mucking up the installment first time round and then uninstalling everything, I then tried to install the 2.5 installment without updating Sins to 1.13 first. I had assumed that the 2.5 would have that included, like 2.0 did.

As an added suggestion I think it would be a good idea to add a little statment at the end of the change log posts stating how best to go about installing the next beta's, to perhaps make things a bit easier for the computer dumbo's like myself in the community.

Hey TKMARK:

Did you enable "download prerelease versions" in Impulse? I think, you have to right click the blue stardock orb and check the relevant box. Then you should be able to download it.

 

Cheers

Blair,

Any chance we'll get the movement options updated soon. dying to move the sacrafice of angels mod to entrenchment. You made a post about unlocking the movement types so we can make them move like fighters.
