I currently can't play entrenchment at the moment because of the minidump bug. But I am able to play the original SOASE.
I don't know how it is for everyone else but for me for some reason entrenchment was installed in a seperate folder inside SOASE installation directory, (eg. D:\Sins of a Solar Empire\Sins of a Solar Empire) the second directory is where entrenchment is installed and the first directory is where the SOASE is installed, each with their own executable files. So I just use the execute file from the original SOASE and play 1.13, and wait for a fix for entrenchment.

Cheers

Note: deleting the second directory also removes entrenchment, incase anyone got the uninstall bug.

Well that's cool. I'm still going to wait until it's an official release. Too many threads with install/uninstall issues.

The uninstall didn't really uninstall.  So I had to delete all the sin directories from:

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire

Then I reinstalled everything, selecting 'verify install' for the entrenchment icon.

Quite annoying, but it did work after this.

You may need to manually remove the game folder, and delete 2 Registry Keys before you'll be able to re-install.

Go to C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire (or where ever you installed the game) and delete the main folder.

Then launch the System Registry (Start-> run, and type regedit)
Look for and delete the following Keys;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sinsentrench

For Vista 64 bit;
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sins
HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sinsentrench

Then, reboot your PC and go back to Impulse and try installing the base game. Make sure it installs to 1.13 version, test it out before then installing entrenchment.

I started from scratch, deleted the program folders, deleting the program data folders. Installed SoaSE, installed impulse. It complained that entrenchment wasn't installed right. I uninstalled entrenchment (no error!), and it showed SoaSE and entrenchment seperately. Updated sins, installed entrenchment, and it let me play!

star bases are fun. Still mini-dumps once it hits 2GB of virtual memory usage, but until then it plays fine. Got my ass handed to me when I let the AI expand a bit too fast though. Fully upgraded (16k HP) starbase, a couple of L5s, and a whole bunch of frigates burned through my force of 6 capitals (all L5s) and my own 500 supply force of frigates. Killed the SB and the cap, but the horde remained. Built up again, the AI had another starbase when I went back. Got owned again. Was rebuilding when it hit 2GB. Oh well. The usage grows slowly, but it doesn't stop and it starts at 1.8GB, so it doesn't take too long.

that's odd, because i've played an 11 hour game on a huge random map and never got a mini dump. my only problem is with the advent, their solanus adjudicator, the equivelant to tec's torpedo boat won't fire, on anything, ever.

 

an no it's not that it's just not showing an animation, i tested it, no damage to anything their told to fire upon
