Entrenchment Beta Begins

Published on December 16, 2008 By Yarlen In Sins News

The Sins of a Solar Empire - Entrenchment beta is now underway! All pre-order customers are now being charged and should gain access to Entrenchment via Impulse (http://www.impulsedriven.com). Please note you must have Sins of a Solar Empire v1.12 for Entrenchment to function (also available via Impulse for registered owners).

Please note that due to the huge number of pre-orders, it will take several hours to work through the queue, so please be patient.

Bink is used for video playback I believe. Other than checking to see if you have binkw32.dll on your system, I don't know what to advise.

I had to download binkw32 as well as 2 other dlls, put them all in the Windows directory and still nothing =[ was looking forward to wasting the next 3+ hours on there

Try this:

Greetings all - There was something misconfigured on the server which was causing some Entrenchment installs to not work. If you fall into this category (and I imagine you know who you are) please do the following:

1) In Impulse click the Stardock logo (orb) in the upper-left and select Check for Updates (or restart Impulse).

2) Install Entrenchment normally. If you have an install in progress and don't want to take any chances, Cancel it and start over.

My apologies for the issues.

Basically, reinstall Entrenchment.

Still isn't fixed

Could it have been from where I changed some of the values on some of the maps?

I also have not gotten any mail or anything letting me start the beta. Any idea when this will all be sorted out?

The squeaky wheel, shfir.

Call me an idiot if you like but, please, where do you go do download this? I got an email containing a serial number and an order number but nothing really telling me how to get to the download. it may just be that I am unfamilar with using impulse.

Edit: Got it, thanks!

No problem Maeas,
Load up Impulse and go to the games tab at the top. At the bottom right there should be a button to download

Mazuo - I have even bigger fish, you know.

Anni, please, have pity on me. Unlike all of you guys, I have to finish a critical project for work over the next couple of weeks, I don't even have time to play games, let alone try Entrenchment. Sigh.. The best I can do is sneak around at work and read these forums.. Sigh..

hey, ive just pre-ordered entrenchment, but with a different email account than my impulse account...will this stop me from downloading the beta, or even getting the game?

No you should be fine. Click on the blue Stardock Orb in Impulse and update your information. If you have any troubles just email support@stardock.com. This happens quite a bit and is easy to correct.

by update, do you mean change email address's? because im checking for updates and nothing is coming up.

edit - dont worry, worked it out. cheers!
