[quote who="GronkDaMage" reply="1" id="2089679"]Game runs fine. It's mostly likely something with your system. Did you uninstall, clean up and reinstall the game? [/quote] Agree ..game runs beautifully. Check your drivers/ defrag/ and uninstall and reinstall both games. Final versions won't run correctly if you don't get rid of all prior betas. Don't be so ready to blame the software developers before you " check your own back

These ideas all have their worth and merit for both sides, but it is all academic if you can't stay in the game for more than 5 minutes because of minidump freezes.
After Uninstalling and reinstalling latest patches per instructed, and removing "Drengin" registry keys,( the two mentioned elsewhere in this forum) minidumps and resulting game freeze is back bigtime. I cannot play any longer than an hour now. :(
ugg..sorry duplicate post
Sorry...my suggestions were simply "shots in the dark" so to speak. it's virtually impossible to diagnose a problem accurately in a forum like this. The only other thing I can think of is did you delete the two registry entries associated in the game folder as stated by Stardock support in one of the other posts before reinstalling? ..shrug For Vista 64 bit; HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Drengin.net>sins HKLM>SOFTWARE>Wow6432Node>Stardock>Dren
Hmmm...you might try a different monitor resolution. I don't know how often you defrag. your system, but with games such as this installed..they seem to need to be defraged more often..might try that. There could be problems in your registry as well. It's real easy to get junk left over in the registry from uninstalls and people tend to ignore this. Actually it's one of the main reasons Windows gets slower and slower, and eventually crashes if not taken care of occassionally.
I was having mini dump and crash issues right and left until I recently played around with a few things: 1.) Check and double check your drivers, especially the video card drivers and make sure they are current. 2.) Set graphics to medium in the game.( possibly high if you have a higher end grapics card.) 3.) ...this may be the most important. Delete all prior game saves if you have any from past beta. I did this and have had no mini dumps or crashes since. Frankly the
I think the new expansion is great so far, however I only play against the computer, and am currently playing a "huge" scenario with the Advent and after creating a fairly large fleet the game slows down to a snails pace, The game freezes after I save and exit and won't return to windows. I have to go into task manager and stop the game and it does a "auto report" to microsoft about the error. There is also the mini dum
Waiting for minidump fixes and slowdowns to be fixed, but overall a good improvement.
