Bug in playing game--how to report?

February 9, 2009 7:40:41 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

It seems in one of my particular SP games Entrenchment keeps crashing after a certain amount of time. I am not sure if it it something I am doing, whether upgrades, moving a ship or something, all I know is that about after ten minutes or so this saved game crashes repeatedly. I couldn't find any sory od log file or anything to return to Stardock--can anyone help me find this?

 

As a totally unrelated, stupid side question, why do Varsari buildings phase out while I attack them? Is it a sort of techonology? is it my weapons?

More than likely it's being caused by a need for memory optimization, which still aren't fully implemented at this point as far as I know.  If you're up for doing some more testing, lower your screen resolution (eg - 1024x768) and texture options and see if that helps you complete the game.

Regardless of the outcome, send your minidump file and a copy of your saved game to:

[email protected]

... with a description of what you experience, and let them know if lowering the settings caused the issue to vanish.

They have a tech you can research that allows it to happen... Help protect it iirc - 1/3 less damage

Unfortunately, in my games this phase out ability is very, very bugged and also disables any manually set targeting commands, making it a pain to direct my fleets at specific buildings. Every time they phase out, I have to reset every attack command by hand as the ships suddenly forget what they were shooting at.
