• Minor update to resolve file mis-match with Gamepass (affected multiplayer)

Very minor update.

• Fix for some achievements not unlocking as intended.

• Minor update to address multiplayer compatibility with Gamepass crossplay.

• Startup crash fixes
  
• Fixed it so you can no longer change language from within an active game
  
• Misc. stability improvements

Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment have released a small hotfix for v1.97 of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion today. This update should resolve the issues reported in running the game.

• Removed incorrect dinput8.dll file that prevented the game from launching for some users - especially on Windows 8. (Note that if you added this manually, you can safely delete it).
  
• Updated some code in the file system that may help fix with issues where the game can't read/write to is settings directory.
  
• Resolved (hopefully) multiplayer server stability issues.

Ironclad Games and Stardock are pleased to announce Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion v1.97. Change notes are below.

Change Notes:

• All localisations are now part of the base game.
  
• Language can be changed via the in-game options. We strongly recommend restarting the game after changing language to update cached strings.
  
• Changed hardware cursor to be the default; this prevents crashes with some systems.
  
• All online interactions are now encrypted.
  
• Misc. other stability fixes.

Note: We have become aware of multiplayer stability and some startup issues with 1.97. We have put up 1.96 for those who need to revert:
