Since we haven't had a response from the developers since this thread was initially started, I sent a PM to Blair myself. Anyone else experiencing the "Slow down" bug. please take a moment and explain what's happening. I would like to bring this thread to the devs attention, if I don't receive a reply from Blair Fraser, then the next step will be to start emailing IronClad & Stardock as well. one or two rants can be written off & ignored, but the more people th

[BUMP] If anyone else is experiencing the "Slow down/Crawl" Bug Please post here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/341237 And send an email to Ironclad. So this issue can be addressed sooner rather than later..

Ballocks!! I've tried this game on 3 different systems now.. Same crap.. Read the entire thread. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/341237 windows is stripped down, no a/v.. all those tweaks are childs-play.. the games code needs to be optimised.. Bottom line.

[BUMP] Hey devs Lets not pretend this is an issue that can be forgotten about & swept under the rug.. It's real, it's annoying, it's not going away! Can we get a response, or at the very least an acknowledgement here or what??

I think it's fair to say that, no one wants to upset the devs & everyone that comes to these forums loves SoaSE. The game is a masterpiece. I've really really tested this issue, and on more than one machine now, one has: An Intel core 2 duo 2.8 GHZ CPU, 4 GB RAM (DDR2-800), Nvidia 8800gt 320MB Video card, running Windows XP The other is an: AMD X2 6000 3.0 GHZ CPU, 2 GB RAM (DDR2-800), ATI X1950 512MB Video card, running Windows XP

Same problems.. different thread. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/341237

Obviously this a reoccuring theme with this game with Entrenchment installed... https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/341791 "> Same problem, different thread.

It's not a CPU issue. The AMD X2 6000 runs @ 3.0ghz per core and has 2MB L2 cache. I realize sins doesn't take advantage of having multiple cores at it's disposal, but the 3.0 GHZ & 2MB l2 cache should handle this app with no problems. Prior to the Entrenchment update it ate this game for breakfast. The AMD X2 6000 is not a bottlenecker, and never has been. I will agree that it's not the, "Newest." technology available, but it certainly can hold it's own, and works

[Bump] C'mon this issue needs to be addressed

Ok, I can confirm that lowering all graphics settings, turning off bloom, and sound does not work or help improve performance.. I played two large maps with my self & 7 AI players on unfair random to put your suggestions to the test Blair. Both for a few hours. The threshold point when the lag sets in, starts around when every player has about 5 planets.. It's all down hill from there. If I pause the game. i can navigate without issue.</

I'm well versed with XP, how the registry works, the real in's & out's of the windows O/S. I used to program on the Commodore 64 in assembler & basic. I Build, repair, network, trouble-shoot PC's since around when the 286 was the king, So I've been doing this a while ;) I think my feedback would be solid on the issue. The release of the Entrenchment beta 3 is when the sutturering and lag started becoming an issue; however, Entrenchment 1.0 showed improvement with the

I too am having issues with lag with Entrenchment.. Seems to happen to me after about an hour or so on a large map. It is really, really annoying.. Never happened prior to the Entrenchment update. I also get minor lag on medium size maps after about an hour.

I too had issues installing the new version. Seems like a few reg keys need to be cleaned out between the uninstallation and reinstallation. There is a utility tool app that I have been using for years now called "tuneup utilities" I ran the 1 click maintenance after uninstalling sins. installed sins & entrenchment again.. Worked like a charm. Proggy really helps maintain windows xp's registry. Hope this helps

C'mon! I'm getting crazed about this new Beta! Where is it?? Why make the announcement & then make us wait, because the update isn't posted up on Impulse. I just uninstalled Sins & Entrenchment for nothing.. I'm anxious to play today, I Just bought a new 24" monitor & replaced the heatsink on my second x1950 so my crossfire setup works again. But I don't want to start a big map before Beta 3 is posted. Sins is one of the only games I play often

Entrenchment is great so far. I've run into many of the common bugs (Adjucator not firing after save & reload) during play But the issue that's killing me is that when I play the game on any size map - about an hour into it as the number of ships & objects grows - the game slows down to crawl. No crashes, BSOD's or Minidumps yet & I've played about 12 hours total, maybe more. But the slow-down is god awful. Hit us with a hot-fix or something! Never

I can't imagine what the issue is - bcz I still cant get mods to work there are no other user accounts on my machine my experience with systems & windows xp is pretty deep so if it was something silly - I probably would have been able to figure it out already. my installation of windows xp is pretty bare bones & most non-essential services are turned off in order to maximize performance on my rig. The one thing I thought might have been causing the issu

Yeah - thats the options screen & yes I just the default administrator account. Thx.

I have the same issue: Sins is updated to 1.05 I d/l'ed the & deadly sins mod to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods The "Mods" folder wasnt there. So I simply created it. Inside the "Mods" folder is another folder named "7sins" which contains several folders (Gameinfo, Mesh, particle, etc.) When I boot up & go to options > mods nothings there :( There's
