Entrenchment Constructive Criticism/Praise in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Hi All, Not posted often before, but thought that this stage of the Entrenchment beta would be a good time to do so, with positive "criticism" and praise where due. I basically think that this game is superb - one of the best of the decade, in fact. My thougths are only intended to improve the game, and, as always, I might be wrong! Just a few thoughts: Someone else commented on the design of the starbases - I agree - they are spot on, and each reflects the "fla

Reply to Entrenchment Won't Run: "fmod.dll Not Found"(?) - solved in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

TheDamien and tesb - thanks. It's running now. I uninstalled both and reinstalled, as TheDamien advised, and it's working. I wondered why Impulse would install Sins in one place, and Entrenchment in another, then remembered that I installed Sins without Impulse, before it became the only way to get Stardock content. So I wonder if that was the cause of the problem? Those who installed vanilla Sins using Impulse (as I just did now) don't have the fmod.dll problem, as Impulse kn

Reply to Entrenchment Won't Run: "fmod.dll Not Found"(?) - solved in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Yep, I'm on vanilla 1.12 and I understand that there will be bugs on a beta. tesb - I'll check the install paths - thanks for that advice. TheDamien - I'll try that if I can't get it to work any other way! Thanks!

Entrenchment Won't Run: "fmod.dll Not Found"(?) - solved in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Having downloaded and installed Entrenchment, I can't run it. My error message says "This application has failed to start because fmod.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Reinstalling hasn't helped. I've tried making Impulse look for, and install, updates, and tried running Entrenchment again. Still no luck. I've seen this mentioned in a couple of other posts, but haven't seen any solutions to the problem. Others out there are obviously havi

Superb Game / Impulse / Stardock in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Let me just say that this is surely one of the best games to come out in the last few years, and the fine-tuning that the developers have done only makes it better. Stardock and Ironclad have a lot to be proud of. In my opinion, this is up there with the almost-holy Total War series in pure playability and fun. But I don't understand why people are complaining about Impulse. What's wrong with it? It downloads Stardock's and other games for you, for a fair price, and monitors and insta

Stardock should have thought of the O-0 issue. More lack of forethought on their part. I'm also having trouble with these serial numbers, but as I can't even get the game working I'm not even going to bother about that yet!

Reply to STICKY: Getting the game running! in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I can't even get this game started. It installs OK, but when I choose "Play Game" from the initial menu I get an error: The instruction at "0x7c911c48" referenced memory at "0xfefffff8". The memory could not be "read". There are slight variations of this each time - sometimes the references change slightly, and sometimes they cannot be "written" instead of "read". Then it just sends me back to the Desktop. I run WinXP
