Please note:

Game saves from previous game versions are not compatible with a newer game version.

like monk said if your saves are from before you patched you gotta delete them they are now no good.

I am not restoring a save from a previous version. The saves that won't restore are from the middle to late stage of a random large game. I have 5 saves from earlier in this game that will restore, but the last 3 saves all dump when the game is loading. When loading the save, I get to the point where the planets and phase lanes are displayed, then I get a dump.

If they are from the current version of the game, without mods, send a trouble save and the minidump file in to [email protected].

Please explain where I would find a 'minidump' file.  I've never heard of this type of file.

When the game crashes, it creates a minidump file and tells you where it is.

 

  • My game has crashed and told me it saved a "minidump" file. What do I do?

Please open Windows Explorer to the location below and see if your dump file is there.

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\Sins Dump

Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Sins Dump

If there is a minidump file present, please zip it up along with a copy of a dxdiag from your PC and a description of what you were doing when it occurred to support(at)ironcladgames(dot)com. Please note that you must provide your Sins of a Solar Empire serial number in your email to receive support (anti-piracy measure).
