Stardock and Ironclad Games have decided to delay the final release of Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment, the first micro-expansion for the hit stratey game.  Originally slated for release on November 18th, Entrenchment will first be put through a public beta test for pre-order customers.  This will allow us to finely hone Entrenchment ahead of its final public debut, the date of which has not yet been set (it will largely depend on beta feedback).

While we know this will disappoint some in the Sins community, we feel this will help make Entrenchment a far stronger product overall.

the new beta patch massivkly which was 1.09b < previous patch which i still have installed before impuse gets updated. or patched the server what ever it is this is there trouble with offline content but anyway, the new patch 1.09b which was the first upgrade of enrichment was verry hard i like it because its almost like playing agenst players online it either comes after you or has a mass fleet and kicks your a$$ lol. the quility of trying to beat a computer ai now with 1.09b is awsuem but still doesnt quite feel humanoid i dont think you could get ai to go that much but its much much much better than 1.05 which on my machine i cant play since during games , i get a memory error with the game, and yea new patch massivly updates game as well good stuff.

I preordered and still can't download it. And it's not on the second server, either.

The beta for Entrenchment won't be released until after 1.1 goes final

No one I have spoken to (here or IRC) has been able to download the patch. Chill out and wait for a Stardockian to respond.

im calm man just trying to understand whats going on before beign able to download the patch.

Patch 1.096 is a beta and is currently being used for testing. Anyone can download this off of Impulse.

 

Patch 1.1 is the official patch and is very near completion, there are just some sync error testing going on right now for multiplayer. If I were to guess, this will be released in the next week or so. One of the stardock posters said no later then the end of the month (Nov. 30, 2008). Not necessarily a promise though. Quality seems to be the focus of both Stardock and Ironclad. Releases seem occur when the product is ready rather than on pre-determined dates.

 

Entrenchment will no longer be released Nov 18. Instead, if you pre-order the game you can download the beta of Entrenchment and help report bugs and blance issues. No release for the beta Entrenchment has been stated.

You get emailed to your email with a beta key (or if you used your impulse account it will appear under the my games tab). The game will be charged once the beta is released.

Yeah 1.09b, we're seeing a 1.09c

You haven't been charged yet. The credit card company can put a hold on the funds for a few days, but Stardock only processes your order when there's something for you to download. When that happens you will get a second email with your serial # and it will automatically become registered to your Impulse account.

on Nov 12, 2008

Anyways I dont have any serial number. Or the Your order number is: is the serial number?

Read annatar's post a bit more closely

 

... when there is something for you to download... happens you will get a second email with your serial # and it will automatically become registered to your Impulse account.

 

So, since it's an expansion you must have Sins, and you will not be charged for Entrenchment until it comes out (the beta comes out). Nor will you get a serial number / access to it on your Impulse account until it comes out.

ok guys, sorry and thank you, all clear for me.
