Due to major changes in the engine and data formats that Entrenchment uses as compared to regular Sins, many of the gameplay changes are not backwards compatible.  Blair has posted elsewhere that after Entrenchment is released he'll spend some time and see what changes he can backport.

 

No, I wanted to know if mods that work in 1.13 will be compatible with 1.14.

I am well aware that the mods are not compatible with entrenchment.

Wow I really like how I can play both the older sins as well as the entrechement beta.

If 1.14 doesn't work try moving your mods, uninstalling, reinstalling.

Im trying to update now I had to uninstal entrenchment and sins and reinstall all voer again damn :O

ah yeah me too that was annoying nao i have to go remake my maps..btw they really need to make a copy star function in the map designer

Is the sync fix or ICO update going to help with minidumps in any way. I love the game can play for 35 minutes before a minidump. I do believe the minidump problem should be a priority as it is the source of most negative feedback on the forums. Please May i ask that the minidump problem gets resolved before tweaking of the balance. Getting a great strategy set up and having game kick me out is a very disheartening thing. I love stardock and all the games you make but I honestly believe that im more patient then alot of folks.

Also, when you uninstall make sure you don't have any maps left if your galaxy folder. Some people may have put custom maps in this location.

I am more concerned over the sync bug - frankly its been driving me insane - I hope this patch works!@

Can i just say that the 1.14 patch screwed my game. It now has a runtime error and won't load. What on earth did u guys do. I've sent an e-mail to ironclad asking for help and i'm also posting here to get help. Fix the patch then put it on impulse.

pls. I can't play my stardock games anymore because of it

I get a runtime C++ error whenever I click onto the map designer in game.

Also I dont notice any change in the Cobalt's voice, hell thats the whole reason I got the patch.

Everyone, all your problems are probably the same problem.

Delete your custom maps from the Sins\Galaxy folder and from either:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

or

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

the maps.txt file is missing.

Ignore that one, that's just my listing of the maps. (And I removed it from the list above).

Reply #46 Top

In that case I'm afraid I'm SOL sir. I have all your listed files in my folder. Also I had only one custom map and it has not shown up in the galaxy folder. Everything looks like it is in perfect order according to your list....unfortunetly.

Reply #47 Top

You need to delete all maps in

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

or

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

the mother of all replay bugs is still there.  DAMMIT!  Blair can you guys plz fix it plz plz plz before Entrenchment PLZ :(  The bug I speak of of course is that the replay doe snot register neutral extractors taking voer.  This causes about 50 different replay bugs resulating from your income being out of whack.

-Carrier cruisers now suffer a strike craft build rate penalty if enemy combat units are in the same gravity well.

Will that also apply to regular non-Entrenchment Sins?  After all, it's possible that Entrenchment might not even get played online.
