Sins II Hotfix Update

Published on Friday, October 28, 2022 By Yarlen In Sins II Support

We've updated the 'Sins of a Solar Empire II - Test Edition' on Epic with a hotfix. We hope this update will resolve issues some users have had running the game. 

Change Notes:

  • THIS UPDATE IS NOT SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE!
  • Hopefully fixes the Epic Auth Errors on game start.
  • Fixes font face errors caused by unexpected unicode codes in user names.
  • Hopefully fixes 'Create directory failed' crashes.
    • Note - We've had to move the directory where the game puts data to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\sins2_pre_alpha
  • Fixed crash when clicking the last item in a fully upgraded gas giant.
  • Fixed crash when clicking the Akkan's trade port ability button before it's upgraded.
  • Hopefully fixed some json read errors.
  • Fixed crash in fixup_random_player_visuals when some AI players are made non-random and then removed from the lobby.
  • Fixed assert (!_is_mouse_button_down[mouse_button])
  • Fixed crash attempting to save debug_gui
  • Fixed assert (!_item_dragging_state.is_started])
  • Fixed failed to compute shader error. This is caused by older cards that are not fully compliant with DirectX 11.1.
  • Fixed crashes on loading a save game.
  • Updated crash handler to look for files in the new AppData location
